viva la mexico.

so i don't know if you noticed our little inclination to posting videos. some we think are funny. some we think are random. most of them aren't relevant. but. this one is!


this past june, HH got to do a little mexico mini tour. we played at cultural centro d'espana in mexico city which was really amazing. it reminded me of the ica in london- great art center in the heart of the city across from aztec ruins and a giant spanish cathedral (old and new literally on top of each other). cce as it is familiarly called is an amazing place to play, see some art, eat some food, and hear some music.

we then made our way to a town outside of puebla called cholula. cholula is best known for it's 365 churches (one for every day of the year!), but it also has a large university in the village so that was a pretty fun show too. though i believe we might have over done it in mexico city with our new friends and way too much mezcal!

our last stop on the tour was a gorgeous town in the mountains called monterrey - a town bursting at the seams with art and music right now. if you have a chance to go there, do! we made amazing friends, ate so much food (we even tried grasshoppers...) and played a really fun show, albeit sweltering hot at 98 degrees fahrenheit. the owners of el garage and all of their friends were some of the coolest/sweetest/most talented kids we have met on the road.

here is a video they put together for us. viva la mexico!!
