JULY

Universities and schools are off for a while. Rain and its urge to drop on us every afternoon seems like are on hold too. July promises to be a good month. Lots of fun stuff to do. Take a look for yourself:

I am most excited about this comeback... "La Caramba" is re-opening its doors this month in a new location and with a killer repertoire. If you get a chance, this is a must. 




MAY-Hem!
No April showers for us, in Tegus, it's more like May showers. Be prepared for a month full of rainy days. So here are a couple of things going that you can do on a rainy day...

March 04-10

So if you're in Tegus this weekend, there are a couple of things you might enjoy doing.
You can drop by my favorite bars (I'll blog about them on another occasion)or you can have a little taste of a retro night, by going to a local band´s concert. Le Fou was a popular band here in Tegus in the early 90s. They split up but they're getting back together this Friday for a benefit concert to help one of their founding members who suffered a brain hemorrhage. The sweet deal is, you also get to listen to one of my favorite local bands, Sueño Digviana, while you're at it.
The details below:
Place: Taramundi, Col. Ruben Daria
Cover: Lps. 120.00 ($6)
Time: 9:00 pm
Date: Friday the 9th
Type of music: Rock and Alternative Rock

Listen to Sueño Digviana here:

So that's Friday. On Saturday, you get to experience a whole different musical experience. Grito Rock is an integrated music festival that was born in Brazil and is now promoted in all Latin America. It's happening in around 200 cities in 15 countries and for the second year in a row, it's happening here, in Tegus.
So if tropical psychedelia, cumbia, reggae, DJs, Ska, Latin Rock, Dubstep, Progressive Trance amongst other genres is your thing. This is the place to be.
There will be body suspensions, art in all of its expressions, food and drinks. Don't miss out.
