AFS v. 230 ~ Ratas del Vaticano live on KDVS (+ introducing Vichy Water!)

KDVS Coyote Services is proud to present a special live-in-Studio-A performance from Ratas del Vaticano, the most psychotic sounding punk rock menace from Monterrey, Mexico. The raw, rugged, slashy, and savage set reveals them to be a tremendous live band. It begins at approximately minute 20 of this two-hour podcast. See below the playlist for an outline of the final dates of their first U.S. tour. And if you haven't picked up their Mocosos Pateticos LP on Siltbreeze, hurry and get it already...it's one of the best albums of 2009 so far!

At approximately minute 80 begins the live performance of Vichy Water, the newest band in Sacramento, who just played their first public performance on Sunday night at The Hub in Sacto with Mutating Meltdown and H.P.P. They were a smashing success despite being a last-minute fill-in band for another new band that went quickly kaput, and just two practices later, they impressed me so much that I asked them to play tonight, too! The band features Julian of The Mayyors, Liz (proprietor of Buffcastle and chief funmaker of Funcastle (the busiest house-show epicenter in Northern California)), and Dylan (of high school and "four bands in seven weeks"). Too bad KDVS is not a TV channel tonight....the visual element of Dylan paying tribute to local music heroes was side-splittingly funny.
