Casino en Vivo
Casino
"In a world where national rock appears more scattered than ever, Casino is definitely an exception. It has a clean, deep, dense and sonic sound and an
atmosphere that feels like lava. Surely one of the best records of the year."
- Alejandro Alalui, Rolling Stone
From: Santiago, Chile
Genre: Psychedelic, Shoegaze, Rock, New Wave
Touchstones: Radiohead, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Go

Superlasciva
Superlasciva
Superlasciva es un proyecto musical que busca apelar a la emoción y estimular lo sensorial teniendo a la canción como protagonista. El prolijo sonido
de la banda fusiona ritmos del brit pop con melodías rioplatenses, más emparentadas con los cantautores y tangueros argentinos. En sus arreglos y
ejecuciones se vislumbra un cuidadoso énfasis en las melodías, además de una constante provocación a las emociones de quien escucha y disfruta.

Intimate Stranger
"With front lady Woodgate singing and on bass, Lautaro Vera on guitar, Mauricio Muñoz rocking the drums and Ismael Palma pouring over the
keyboard, Intimate Stranger is a complete and talented team ready to intoxicate any listener. Somewhere between the rock and female vocals of the
Kills and the inviting voice of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Intimate Stranger tends to break barriers when it comes to labeling them with a genre."

From: Santiago, Chile
Genre: Indie, Alternative

P.K.14
"P.K. 14's thrashing chords, dark bass lines and frenetic beats resonate with echoes of Sonic Youth, the Pixies, Fugazi and the New York Dolls. But the
Beijing band's charismatic vocalist, Yang Haisong, 34, says he takes his lead from songwriters such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs and a
whole generation of protest musicians. Think of P.K. 14, in other words, as neither punk nor postpunk but postfolk."
