Ardillas
Canciones De Amor, Locura Y Muerte
Donde estan? opens the set with a gang vocal driven mid-tempo twist sweeter than a tray of mantecaditos, and the swivel dont surrender until the reprisal of "Linda Nia" - a loving but pumping island anthem first released as a Slovenly single long ago in sunnier times. If youve ever happened across Ardillas on stage, you know well (and youll never forget!) that whatever delicate care theyve serenaded you with is a decoy vehicle for sweaty and swingin rocknroll licks from the Chuck Berry-cum-Flamin Groovies School o Truth. Our muchly esteemed greasers even manage to abort balladry and muster sneers for the mean streets on "Entregate a la Perdicin," and the twangy n gallopin "La Ruta."
