For every artist we decided to catch at SXSW, we decided to review each performance with our own version of “Five Ws and One H” answering the questions: 1) Who are they, 2) What kind of music do they play, 3) When did they play, 4) Where are they from, 5) Why did we decide to catch them play and 6), How was their performance.

WHO: SlowKiss are Elisa Froti (guitar & vocals), Vicky Cordero (bass & vocals), Matías Acuña (drums) and Ignacio Villagrán (guitar).

WHAT: An amalgam of alternative rock, indie, punk, garage rock, grunge, noise pop, & shoegaze.

WHEN: 3/14/2017 at Friends.

WHERE: Santiago, Chile.

WHY: First of all, how badass is the name “Slowkiss”? So badass, that I bought only one band t-shirt during my trip to SXSW and it was theirs. Oh yeah, their music is pretty badass too.

HOW: I absolutely loved this band live. The two front-women may be petite, but their presence on stage is pretty damn big. Let’s not forget their guitarist, Ignacio, who flew around on stage with big leg kicks as she shredded his solos. Though I was really only familiar with two of their songs when I went to go see them (the other song being “Pink Death”), I found myself bobbing my head throughout their entire set. For me, their music was a throwback to that 90s grunge that I basically lived off of during my formative years, and that’s a sweet spot that I’ll let anyone hit as long as they hit it good … and they did.

After SXSW, they came to Los Angeles to play at The Viper Room on 4/1/17. I had already made plans for that evening, but I was pretty bummed about not being able to go. Hopefully, they’ll play in Los Angeles again soon, cause I got a shirt that I want to wear!
