The colective Andronicus, a self-managed project and support to the scene underground, gave himself the task of organizing a luxury event on its first anniversary as a collective in favor of culture, in the middle of the day of the dead. The night began with the inauguration of the new mural that adorns the walls of the Skull Cat, which was elaborated by artists belonging to this movement.
Once the event started, the setting was carried out by DJ Vicious Pink who for more than 2 hours was in charge of keeping the atmosphere dark and eighties in the celebration. After 2 hours, the advanced musical projects begin, starting with Hell Gamblers, Band of psychobilly originally from Puerto Rico who was very well received by the crowd and was applauded by the people. Subsequently and as a regular guest of events of these genres in Mexico Wicked! endorses the stage with his proposal much more brazen and irreverent, and with Sandra Sanabria as unique frontwoman of the night.
It would be the turn of Samurai cats who would flavor it a little more punk at night, and then give way to Los Pardos and go back to psychobilly pure and high manufacturing with themes like "Road to hell" and "Serial Killer Rock". He punk refuses to leave the platform and returns with everything from the hand of The hypnotics and his aggressive but well elaborated proposal that unleashes the dance in the venue. And finally and before the stellar show we had the opportunity to enjoy the performance of the project Lavinia: voice duet and DJ that using synthesizers and drum machine transported us to a world full of influence of goth from the 80´s with own themes like "Chaos Scenario" and "End Up Like This ”; as well as listening to different versions of great classics from bands like Rammstein, Marilyn Manson and Slipknot. A proposal of New Romantic difficult to find in our country that is worth following. The dawn is already quite advanced, and the traditional confetti that adorns the venue remains intact giving a framework of folkloric unique to start the most anticipated band of the night:
From California Rezurex He makes an appearance and opens at dawn to the rhythm of "Dead World", And now if everyone on the dance floor is unleashed in dancing and pushing wildly. Dressed in a Mariachi-style outfit Daniel DeLeon of course he steals everyone's eyes with his blue hair and half skull makeup as a hallmark of the house, while he masterfully executes songs like "Walk On The Edge", "Rock´n In Your Coffin" and "Return Of A Living Death". At the beginning the audio fails a little and it is not possible to fully enjoy the songs, however, this flaw would be later fixed. "Dark Side" is announced as one of the songs that will be part of the new album by Rezurex to launch next year according to Californians, and then start moving our feet with Devil Woman From Outta Space and its sound is purely danceable rock n´roll.
"Ghost Of You" It is undoubtedly one of the topics that people were crying out for the most, so it is received with a detonation of euphoria and pushing when it is played, at the same time that the band distributes traditional cempasuchil flowers to everyone. Blue Kiss It is a sublime theme and full of passion to overflow living it so that later with "Dead By Dawn ” the party doesn't stop. For lovers and also the despised it arrives "Prisoner Of Love", and then in what is undoubtedly one of his most melodious songs it is time to light the "Psycho Radio ”. "We know that just a couple of days ago it was Halloween but we don't care: Today is Halloween!" judgment Of Lion before untying "Everyday Is Halloween" , and without giving us a break then bring us a slice of pure apocalypse with "Armaggedon ” where the fanatic loses her head in leaps and bounds.
Rezurex Then ask what day is today and everyone applaud because they know what's coming: "Day of the Dead" in full festivity it is an offering of pure psychobilly of power worthy of being placed on an altar. People enjoy it to the fullest and Rezurex thanks the delivery before saying goodbye. However, in the end the Angelenos want to play another song before they leave, and with everything and a laser gun in hand they give us the much-requested song "Suicide". The incense with the aroma of psycho it has been consumed and on the ground there are only watered orange petals, but without a doubt this day will remain for memory among the attendees.
