Maybe it’s the lack of vocals that means few people have realised Rodrigo y Gabriela have started. Perhaps news reports of how [...]

Guys: this weekend is going to be serious. Because Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that gives you a great reason to wear a sombrero and drink tequila (or maybe that's just another Saturday for you, in which case, awesome!) is on the same day as the Kentucky Derby, a day that gives you a great excuse to wear pastels and drink bourbon (see the previous parenthetical aside).
