Red Fang, una de las bandas mas representativas del stoner rock, se presentó por primera vez en nuestro país con una tripleta de fechas en las principales ciudades de México. En la Ciudad de México, la cita fue en el Multiforo Cultural Alicia, donde el tamaño reducido del lugar y un cartel de “agotado” hicieron que luciera totalmente abarrotado y no cupiera ni un alfiler.
The Wicked Ones and Vinnum Sabbathi were the bands in charge of opening the presentation with a very large capacity and pleasantly, they were very applauded. The heat in the Alicia is a serious problem despite the fans that were installed and the fact that it was at the top, almost completely prevented mobility from one side of the place to another. However, everything was forgotten when Red Fang took the stage and opened the night with “Blood Like Cream”that made everyone jump and sing the choir “Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up; Just before I take you”. From the fast pace of this song we go down to the most rocky and dense stoner with “Malverde” and just to shake your head with the pachydermic sound. “Hace un calor tremendo aquí, pero eso nos gusta. Odiamos los shows fríos” say hello behind the ropes David Sullivan for the slam to break loose with everything in “Crown in Swine”, followed by topics like “Not For You” and “No Air”.
Except John Sherman on the drums, all the members of Red Fang they sport large beards that shake from side to side with each hit executed, which gives an idea of seeing rough lumberjacks playing totally stoner songs such as “Into the Eye” or “Antidote”. But if we talk about madness, the already suffocating enclosure became a hotbed of passions with “Wires” that unleashed the madness of those present being a highly anticipated topic and without letting the adrenaline go down for a moment the Portland natives have no mercy and play “Sharks”, one of those songs that you don't expect to hear in the repertoire but that is pure power. People drip with sweat, while letting the euphoria run and the concert is being a real party.
“No se si en español exista una palabra para describir la acción de sacarse un moco de la nariz, pero bueno; esta canción habla un poco de ello” kite joking band leader Bryan Giles that even with glasses that are more than foggy it is pure delivery, he plays with mastery “The Smell of Sound”. All members of Red Fang Despite not being young and the heat that comes from the public, they give everything they have, and in “Dirt Wizard” Bryan comenta que no existe mejor forma de describir como se siente que con un “Lago de huevos” –so in Spanish-, because of the way he is sweating inside his shorts.
The red fang then drops one of its most powerful slices of the night with “Flies”, a theme that from the start of the battery increases the pulsations every second and that from beginning to end is pure aggressiveness and destruction. What a brutal moment! To close a night of volcanic truth [in every way] the Americans decide to close the night with “Prehistoric Dog”, giving the finishing touch to such an unrepeatable concert.
The band would still return to sign tickets and greet their fans, while a displaced Bryan luce un tupido pelaje corporal que hace que los que aún permanecen ahí comiencen a gritarle “Sasquatch” en honor a la criatura mitad hombre-mitad mono, lo cual el músico toma con mucho humor. La bestia ha soltado su ataque y todos se van felices con la potente mordida de Red Fang.
