Davilla 666, Las Nubes, Ladrones

Davila 666 We have been a rabid fans since their first record came out on "In The Red records"(Davila 666) in 2008. This Puerto Rican six-piece channels sheer anarchic energy and the essence of The Stooges with a formidable gift for language-transcending hooks, like a spanish speaking Black Lips crossed with Spaceman 3. Well, the band has a new record out (Secretos) and folks are raving about the live show.

Las Nubes were recently named “Best Band in Miami” by the Miami New Times. They blend crunchy hooks, fuzz, soothing vocals, and a sense of melody into something that, in another age, would be a gigantic hit on college radio. It's ferocious garage pop and wildly catchy. They have toured the US and Mexico extensively, including fests and high-exposure support slots, including being Iggy Pop's backing band.
