Massacre
Date: April 2nd
Event: Pepsi Music 2013: "El Festival"
Location: Costanera Sur, Buenos Aires
Quote:
Massacre is an argentinian band with more than 10 albums and 20 years together. This was the first time that I saw them play live. I wasn't very into their music since a couple of years ago. The frontman is a true showman, he use to wear tight pants and bring a lot of stuff on stage, like the old doll you can see in the picture, lol.
The rock from my country is, in my opinion, getting worse as years go by, and I think Massacre is one of the few that still keeps national rock music alive.

I saw them live in another festival back in 2010 and I really liked their show. The truth is that in this festival there were a lot of bands to watch and I decided to see just a few songs from them. For the few songs I could hear, I can say that they improved their live sound a lot. I just hope they come back soon to watch a proper and full show by them.

Band Of Skulls was one of the best acts in that festival. The sound was pretty solid and strong. I heard their latest album Sweet Sour when it came out and most of the songs didn't caught my attention, except for the singles. Definitely was one of the surprises that night. They are releasing their third album next year, so it will be one of my anticipated albums for 2014.
