Kinky

Kinky doesn't do anything in small doses. The start of their set vibrates the stage, the venue, and every member of the audience including myself. Rough and repetitive Spanish vocals spill from their mouths and Latin flare music seems to encase the entire menu.

Suddenly the vocals get angrier, louder, and rougher. In between verses electric beats fill seemingly empty spaces. Skillful guitar playing makes me forget that I barely speak Spanish and the music is entertaining without even being able to understand. I consider this a hallmark of an amazing band and hope to be able to attend another one of their shows in the future.

Following their first rough song the music becomes almost sultry. The vocals seem themed around rolled R's and lilting end consonants. I feel myself swaying in time to the music and am struck by how many melodies seem to be tied together to make the complex track.

Nothing is ever as simple as it seems with this band and soon more guttural consonants are joining the R's. A rhythm between raspy and Latin flow seems to be establishing itself with two members providing backing vocals while the main singer punctuates their verses with interjections of his own.

Finally the beat begins to rise higher and higher progressing towards techno from what seemed like a Latin dance ballad. A superior grasp of genres and progression makes this show a joy to attend.

The day of the Kinky concert was just speechless, the whole environment at Warehouse Live was really calm and you could see and hear the people having a good time. Mexican Institute of Sound, Ceci Bastida, and a local band opened for Kinky their performances were great they really got the audience to dance, their music was really good the whole concert was just so surreal. When Kinky came out everybody was screaming, dancing, having a blast singing along with them, Kinky made the concert amazing we all anticipated for them and it was worth it Gilberto Cerezo the lead singer came down to the barricades that separated the audience from the stage he sang and the front row people, including me were lucky enough to be close to him and touch him. Omar, Carlos, Ulises, and Cesar made the whole concert come alive while they played their instruments they danced while they played they moved around they came close to the stage it was just amazing.

Kinky is one of the best live bands you will ever see. I have seen thousands of bands from Madonna to Iron maiden and Kinky puts them all to shame. Do yourself a favor and go see them live.

I love it, drove 2 hrs to the event it was worth it. Was amazed how small the place it work for me cuz we where hable to see Kinky close with out any problems.
