Last night, I went to the triumphant home town return of Juana Molina.
She hasnt played in BsAs for a while, probably a year or more, and she just put out a new album, and has been on tour- she was in Tokyo and Hong Kong last week.
So this was a big event for a lot of people, and the place was packed.
The last time I was at El Teatro on Federico LaCroze, it was kind of an ashtray- and mostly playing punk and heavy metal. Now, they have cleaned it up, renovated, and installed a killer PA and lighting. Great place to see a show.
It was packed with 4' 6" 80 pound chicas- they love Juana, even though she is old enough to be their mother- and they were singing along to all the old songs, bouncing to the new ones.
Juana has gotten funkier - a year or so ago she bought her first electric guitar and some effects pedals, and she is rocking it, louder, faster, and with a young, talented backup band.
Best show I have seen in a while, plus, her celebrity parents were even in attendance.
