Ep. 88 - The Plastics Revolution

On today's very special episode of Songmess we have the great honor of welcoming The Plastics Revolution, Mexico City's phantom indie pop supergroup. All six members of the Plastics Revolution have known each other since high school, often linking up to form different bands throughout. Little Jesus, Fishlights and I Can Chase Dragons! are the band's most notable cousins, but the original crew of six formed the Plastics Revolution and became one of Mexico's top indie names of the early 2010s, performing at Vive Latino in 2011 and at Corona Capital the following year. Over the last decade, school and career opportunities scattered different band members to the US, UK and across Mexico, giving the band omnipresent mystique with sporadic performances and few releases. As of 2017, all musicians have returned to Mexico City to reclaim their throne as indie pop royalty and we were lucky enough to sit down with half the band, Jules (vocals, guitar), Fernando (synth, guitar) and Santi (bass, synth) and discuss their history, side projects and upcoming plans.

Ep. 90 - Marcos Hassan

On today’s very special episode of Songmess we have an odyssey in store. Guest, journalist and musician, Marcos Hassan joins us for one of the messiest, most fun and informative episodes to date. If you want to get into the nitty gritty of Mexico’s punk, metal, noise, experimental and other heavy and crazy scenes, Marcos Hassan is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable cats in the game. A frequent contributor at Remezcla, Noisey en Español and numerous other publications, Marcos has devoted much of his writing career to documenting and promoting obscure corners of Latin American music. As a musician, Marcos has been in many bands but currently records and performs as balada-drone project Caos Del Té. He has also worked in radio, organized industry networking conferences and even started a record label named Kiddie Riot. Today’s episode was fueled by lots of wine, so it goes off the rails pretty fast. However, if you are interested in the lesser known names of Mexico’s weird, heavy, experimental underground, pay close attention because Marcos namechecks a dozen bands a minute. Featured Artists: El Shirota, Annapura, K, Mar de Sombra, Vyctoria, Piyama Party, Cholula Dans Division, Los Waldners, Sunset Images and Caos Del Té.
