If the Amp Could Talk: The Raw Power of Margaritas Podridas!
19 svibnja, 2025.

We spoke to Carolina, somewhere between underground basements and highway playlists. Distortion is their comfort zone, chaotic tour life boosts their humor and their amps might just be the best and kinky storytellers of all. Enjoy the read and join us on their concert on Monday, 19.5.2025.

How is tour life treating you so far?
It’s very cool getting to see a lot of different places and people. Changing languages everyday. It is very tiring because we are carrying all the stuff we need to play everyday. Sometimes there’s stairs, bridges, underground basements but we are happy the shows are going great.

Your sound fuses grunge, shoegaze, and punk with this hypnotic heaviness — what part of yourselves do you think lives in the distortion?
There is a certain comfort and warmth in distortion.

Do you ever feel like you’re redefining what it means to be a rock band from Mexico on the global stage?
No but we are showing what it is like. Raw.

Can you describe a moment during rehearsals or recording where everything just clicked — like a sonic or emotional breakthrough?
It is interesting seeing how everything fits. Our music taste, bands we like and what we play simply unifies.

If your amps could talk after a show, what would they say about what just happened on stage?
I like it when you put your guitar against me.

Is there something mundane or totally ordinary that inspires your sound in unexpected ways? (e.g. city noise, bus rides, old cartoons?)
Machines.

Margaritas Podridas – Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

Do you have an internal ritual or a habit which you do before going to the stage?
Just a nice drink.

What music do you listen to these days?
Depends on the mood. We’ve been listening to Deep Purple on the highways.

If your band were a dysfunctional family at Christmas dinner, what role would each member play?
Our drummer would be the funny drunk.
Our guitarist would be the smoking uncle.
And our bassist would be the wine crazy aunt taking care of dinner.

What do you think or hope that your listeners take home with them after your performance(s)?
Tinnitus.
