El próximo sábado 7 de Abril se llevará a cabo en la Cd. de Mexico la octava edición del "pequeño gran festival" llamado Indie-O Fest. Dicho evento siempre se ha caracterizado por convocar un número reservado de bandas, pero siempre con el talento suficiente para acercar a grandes fans de los grupos que ahí se [...]
¿Cuántos discos "tributo a…" han escuchado? Parece un método eficiente el de reunir a muchas bandas, hacer que elijan la canción que más les guste de un grupo y ponerlos a tocar para así grabar un disco que, seguramente se venderá. Tal vez no es el proceso adecuado el [...]
Might just spend the rest of this week reading Grant Brissey's hilarious reviews. This one lead to Mexico City SXSW breakouts Chikita Violenta . Really versatile sounds from these guys, from justintokelly this..: To this ( via ): Chikita Violenta: Roni.mp3
The S-25 Mix is short for The Sunday 25 Songs Mix, where we put together a mix of 25 tracks (sometimes more) we love from all genres and time periods of music. Over the past two weeks, we put out the Songs About Cars mixes, many of which were recommended by our readers. But this [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Label Year on Arts & Crafts gets started in earnest with a review of Chikita Violenta's Tre3s . If you missed the introduction to the feature, check it out here , then read on for my thoughts on this album.
Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A semana começou pela terça-feira com a lembrança de uma música que foi lá classificada como "eterna", trata-se de um tema que efectivamente devemos adicionar ao cérebro para ficarmos felizes: "Such Great Heights" dos saudosos The Postal Service, para depois continuarmos pela febre do
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Releases Marina Magro "It's completely normal for people to make the comparison between what we do and Broken Social Scene ," Armando David of Mexico City rockers Chikita Violenta tells Spinner, pre-empting the inevitable question. Broken Social Scene's Dave Newfeld is behind the boards for the band's new album, 'TRE3S,' and he's loaded it down with all the sonic trimmings. "He has a very particular way [...]

Los regios nos están enseñando que esas ondas de los festivales pueden tener grandes propuestas y que sin un headliner de millones de dólares o reuniones que para muchos pueden ser absurdas y solo usando una excelente capacidad de selección y un muy buen gusto musical se pueden hacer [...]
And so it begins. Every year, we bring you our picks for the best of the South By Southwest festival. This year, we will be presenting you with a series containing fifty bands, that will run right up to the beginning of SXSW. We selected bands that we think the average TDOA reader will adore. With each entry, we've listed like-minded bands as a reference point, but we recommend listening to each no matter what. As always, it's difficult to put some of these bands in a neat tidy, descriptive box. Your ears will [...]
Mexico City four-piece Chikita Violenta is known in the indie world for two main reasons: First, the fact that they're from Mexico, and second, they sound super indebted to Broken Social Scene. Granted, those are both true facts, but individual moments on TRE3S , the group's third album (first for (surprise, surprise) Arts & Crafts, co-founded by BSS' Kevin Drew), are individual enough to stand apart from the overwhelming shadow of their new labelmates. The label connection isn't the only reference to BSS here; producer David Newfeld ( You Forgot it In People ) is [...]
Pablo Davila helms Chikita Violenta's glowing and creepy new video "Roni", the latest single off their album TRE3S . The video starts with a sort of horrific setting in the woods of Desierto de Los Leones, where the band is ready to shoot their video. There's plenty of sunlight, but it gets cloudy right away with the appearance of an aggressive old dude who demands to see a film-shooting permit. The guys try to get away with it justifying it's for academic-purposes (we've all been there), but he is of course, not buying it. The clip goes on to [...]

Os Chikita Violenta são um quarteto da Cidade do México em actividade já há oito anos mas com apenas três LPs, dois deles gravados e editados no Canadá. O seu terceiro, "TRE3S", foi editado pela reputada editora canadiana "Arts & Crafts", a mesma dos Broken Social Scene, e contou com a colaboração de músicos de outras bandas desse catálogo, nomeadamente dos Broken Social Secne, e teve uma muito boa recepção peor alguma crítica norte-americana. De "TRE3S", há um novo vídeo para o tema "Roni", realizado por Pablo Dávila.

Ya hacia un tiempo que Tre3s , el disco más reciente de la banda mexicana Chikita Violenta vio la luz, sin embargo el lanzamiento vuelve a tener presencia en este momento ya que se ha lanzado el primer video promocional para este álbum. El sencillo que se está desprendiendo de este disco lleva el título de "Roni". La banda rodó este video bajo la dirección de Pablo Dávila en una zona de bosque en la ciudad de México llamada Desierto de los Leones y tal parece que lo hicieron sin permiso alguno, ya [...]
Boris have released "Hope," the first single from "Attention Please" -- one of two all-new full length Boris albums to be released on the same day via Sargent House this spring. Chikita Violenta have premiered the first video off their US debut full-length "TRE3S" for the first single, "Roni." The band shot the video in the woods outside their hometown, Mexico City, featuring bassist Armando Ortigosa in some incredible make-up, looking like a creature straight out of "Pan's Labyrinth." Swedish band Movits! are set to release their sophomore [...]
