Puta Madre Brothers

Greasier than a deep fry of nacho cheese, these three dirt-faced gringo brothers from the bottom of the world, wanna-be Mexicanis, each strapped with a razor-edged guitar, a giant kick drum and a donkeyload of foot percussion pack a drunken punch of mariachi rock’n'roll soul music and lay claim to be the world’s only surviving triple-one-man-band.

Singing and wailing in poorly learned Spanish, they’ll spit at the floor and steal cigarettes from you, pass you their bottle of beer to share, throw you a maraca to shake and probably wink at your girlfriend. Anto Macaroni, Pikkle Henning and Renato Vacirca are three hombres who may look like fools, might behave like clowns, might dress like cons, but by show’s end you can expect an infectious sweat-soaked get-down in full operation.
