Joliette

Caradura

8pm, Karma Lounge

Opening this demonstration of rock-and-beyond en Español is a trio of teenage sisters from northern Mexico whose “Enter Sandman” cover last year garnered the seal of approval from over 11 million people. On debut EP Escape the Mind, the Warning learn, explore, and incinerate their metal roots. Self-established post-everything Joliette set out to defy all expectations on Principia, combining everything from screamo to prog with boundless energy. Adding a dash of Europe are Madrid-based Sexy Zebras. Introducing themselves to the U.S. at SXSW, the trio canons frenetic rock and political awareness exhibited on Hola, Somos los Putos Sexy Zebras. Serving dance hits beyond the push of a button are classic hip-hop turntablist Aztek 732 and DJ funny man Lng/Sht, who blends Mexican punk and street hip-hop into one. Capping it off are melodic punkers División Minúscula, repping a 20-year history of inspiring bands to get loud south of the border.
