So once in a while we go off and do some music outside Balún that later ends up in the group. This one is the latest audiovisual collaboration between three of us in the band. La Aldea (The Village) is inspired and accompanied by the sensationalist documentary “Menace of Guatemala” (1934) which focuses on the threat of volcanoes in the Agua area of Guatemala.
This one is an interview after our “set” at the IRMF 2010 in Puerto Rico last May. Long story short we got to play only three songs because of rain and some disorganized dudes. So we had something to say. Also, look who’s back! Andrés! and his words are classic Andrés at it’s best.
Save the date!! We are playing the Solo Dame Indie Pop! 2nd Year LAMC Party! July 8th at Cameo (Brooklyn) with Los Punsetes (Spain), Kordan (NYC), Sweet Electra (Spain) and DJ Amylulita (NYC)!
We were invited by our friends from Frecuencias Alternas to be part of their Musica Realenga series which takes bands and musicians and asks them to play acoustic versions of their song in unusual settings around San Juan. We performed in manifestation that took part by students, faculty and other supporters from the University of Puerto Rico that at that moment were on a strike that lasted two months and paralyzed the whole public higher education system of the island. For this special presentation our first guitarist Andrés re-joined the band and we played as a quintet for the first time!

Celebrate the 4th anniversary of Pulsewave at the Tank ! The snow is melting, nature emerges regrown, animals wake up from hibernation to PART-AY. Albino Ghost Monkey comes from the far off land of Wisconsin to share Nanoloop knowledge, Balun will warm us up with their IDM folk-pop and the vibrant 8bitbEtty will keep everything twinkling to the beats. Our pixel entertainment for the night is provided by Philly’s enso. Free cupcakes and candy for the first 25 people. Spring Bloom and Pulsewave’s 4th anniversary is made possible by The Tank, 8bitpeoples, Cheese’N'Beer and The C-Men.
