Biribay

A tall, red-faced Scottish buddy of mine just played a gig at a local place called Biribay Jazz Club, where many bands typically play. I've seen a bevy of groups play here, such as Los Babas - a 2 man group who sing about wacky stories and nonsense while rocking attire suitably described as a mix between The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Spice Girls, Los Mutagenicos - a surfy rock and roll band that do a damn good job at filling the bar and kicking ass, The Lost Noize - an eclectic folky rock group that completes all requirements to please a crowd, and a handful of other good bands; but the most recent was my friend Roddys' band called Coffin Dodgers. They performed last weekend, showcasing good old fashioned rock n' roll with a hint of blues on the red and blue lit stage in the Biribay. The long rectangular shape of the place offers a long bar with plenty of cocktails, and in case you can't make it down to the stage area at the far end, or if you are just going to get a drink mid-show, there is always a camera connected to a big screen tv behind the bar so you can pretend to be in the front row. During the week there are various activities for everyone, where you can easily enjoy pop music, play boardgames, or see jazz and blues shows. It's been a great place to go all year long, and I always look forward to more good times and music there. Here are a few pictures of some performances.

I just realized I couldn't find my pictures of Los Mutagenicos, but hopefully you will check the links to see / hear the bands a bit. Cheers.
