Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich+Fussible (01/08/09) @ The Echoplex

your first bicycle. your first kiss. your first date. your first love. your first's always seem to be the one that stick out the most and becomes the standard for which everything else will be compared to. Nortec Collective Presents: Bostich+Fussible was the first concert of the new year. and in all honesty has set the bar very high as the kick ass dance til it hurts concert. when wikipedia describes the group as "documenting the collision between the style and culture of electronica and traditional Mexican music" it has to be good. prior to the show i didn't know who this nortec collective was. and when i realized they were two dj my expectations lowered and i was tempted to go home and listen to my itunes instead because for all i know the dj is playing solitaire and ichatting or updating their facebook status. however, i was convinced to stay (because of the lure of the alcohol) and when they started i was startled to see more than just two dj's on their laptops.

two djs, two trumpets, tuba, and a trombone.

come february i suspect nortec collective taking home the grammy...

enjoy the music.
