two guitarist from mexico, playing acoustic with a pick up, lots of spanish rythms, but jazz influences, flamenco, heavy metal (kinda) they are amzing.

I saw them at a festival in Croyden last summer, virtuosos's.. They usually carry a string section with them which really lifts the set.. The album is called "re-loc" I beleive, I only have the track "Diem" Which is blistering, I'ts great to know someone else is into this stuff.. They never played any heavy metal in their set though, it was strictly acoustic..

Yeah, they're amazing.
I think they used to busk on Grafton street. Never saw them there though.

its "re-foc"
i bought it on thursday, they didn't have a string section with them then but i think the heavy metal stuff was a one off as it was members from the headlining band joining in after they played their "proper set"

the gig has now led me to wish i could speak spanish as my cousin tood cahtting to them for ages and also wish i could even play a chord on a guitar properly.

Yeah, (I've seen the a couple of times. Their bassist live next door to me and he gave me tickets and wow indeed
