[DID NOT ATTEND: September 23, 2024] Los Bitchos / Faux Real
Back in 2022, Los Botchos opened for Belle & Sebastian. And at the last minute we weren’t able to go to that show.
But I had listened to them and was really interested:
Los Bitchos is a four piece from London. The band consists of Serra Petale (guitar), Agustina Ruiz (keytar), Josefine Jonsson (bass), and Nic Crawshaw (drums; percussion). They predominantly play instrumental music in the style of cumbia from the 70s and 80s. And they are a lot of fun. Sounds like a great opening act.
I would have really enjoyed this show (and I love getting to see a band that is doing, in this case, six dates). But it was the same night as Sigur Ros, who would definitely win out.
Faux Real sounds like a fascinating project:
Visionary art-pop duo Faux Real’s long-awaited debut album “Faux Ever” is a self-described “11-piece symphony for head-banging and longing.”
