- “Si estás cansado de oir disque rock en español, de llevar corbata y zapatos de vestir, los pioneros...te invita a que te atrevas a venir como te de tu chingada gana y metete al slam si es que aguantas.” One can spend hours and hundreds of words analyzing the flyer and the context of the mid-1990s rock Angelino scene, so let's start. “100% rock en español toda la pinche noche para que no estés chingado” This was a moment that “the scene” and rock en español adherents split into two camps. The ones that understood REE as an live music genre, hence shows, gigs meant to have LA-based bands playing live. In the other camp were the people enjoyed the music as another genre they could dance to it, along other popular music genres ( like house, tecno, and “KROQ music” such as new wave and alternative rock), and the presence of bands playing their own tracks was counterproductive to dancing.
Plus, tocadas created social spaces that were all about self-expression in terms of clothing and hair styles. In contrast the dance clubs zealously imposed dress-codes that favored ritzy and conventional tastes that imposed respectably and uniformity over originality.
These differences were major for bands and fans. Rockeros that went to tocadas were branded “greñudos apestosos,” while clubeteros were dismissed as fake rockeros or possers that were only interested in the music as a passing fad.
Nonetheless, there were events and the promoters behind nights like this that tried to bridge this division between these two different factions by having events that had a 100% rockero DJ, who played tracks by Angelino bands and live bands. Check the listing of the bands that one would potentially hear in the DJ set. Something interesting that this barely 1994 and the event night is already called Nostalgia (with a flyer featuring the portrait of Leonardo de Lozanne de @fobiamx (@leozanne )? And all this happened in at the Redondo Beach Pier?
Ah the questions!
Do you remember this tension between the rockeros and the clubeteros?
