LAMC (Latin Alternative Music Conference) artists TBA
Saturday 16, 8:00 pm

It’s a Monterrey trifecta! Monterrey, México that is... Volován, Plastilina Mosh and Jumbo, like their more famous compatriots Kinky, are all creating a style and sound that marks Monterrey as a hot bed for innovative new music. Volován and Jumbo lean towards a more guitar driven 60’s aesthetic, while Plastilina Mosh boldly fuse an amalgam of styles and sounds similar to Beck. This is going to be a night of pure uncut fun!
