La Live Band

As you may have noticed, I am very interested in demo tapes and unreleased recordings by regional bands. When I meet people from other places I tend to ask them about their friends' bands. My friend Marisse and I started our friendship by trading mixes, and I asked her if she could make me mixes of things from her home town of Monterrey Mexico. This was around the summer of 2003 or so, my memory is foggy. What is clear is that this song was a hit around my house. It is so much fun. Half the lyrics are incomprehensible, this Marisse explains is because Gustavo really didn't have lyrics he was just mumbling shit. This only adds to the Louie Louie goodness of this song. La Live Band are part of a thriving Monterrey music scene represented by the label/collective Happy-fi. They have a website here, that is an accessibility nightmare and a myspace page here that has more music on it. Oh yeah, the name is spanish! so make sure you say it with an accent it sounds better that way.
