Upcoming Lorelle Meets the Obsolete show!!

I've been meaning to check out Lorelle Meets the Obsolete ever since I posted about them back in August, but for one reason or another, I haven't been able to make it to any of their live gigs in Mexico City. Hopefully nothing comes up and I can make it to this upcoming show at Foro Alicia. They have a new 7" coming out soon and if we are lucky, it will be available at the show!

Lorelle Meets the Obsolete

Front: On Welfare LP

 Lorelle Meets the Obsolete is my new favorite band from Mexico. Originally from Guadalajara, they now reside in Mexico City. A few months back they released their first album, On Welfare, via Captcha Records out of Chicago.

Back: On Welfare LP

They play fairly noisy (but mellow) modern psychedelic rock with some elements of drone that would be more at home in Austin or Brooklyn than here in Mexico.

You can go stream the entire album for free over at their bandcamp, or at the bottom of this post.

When I first heard the record I was bummed that I would have to wait until I return to the US to pick up a copy of the vinyl, but I checked out the band's tumblr page and they are willing to set up personal meetings to sell you a copy of their record. I of course took advantage of this and just got my copy a few days ago. The vinyl is very high quality and the packaging is just beautiful. If you want a copy and are in Mexico City, just get in touch with the band. Black vinyl is 100 pesos, color is 150. (Amazingly, this is cheaper than ordering the record from the label!!)

Right now they don't have any scheduled shows but they told me there is a possibility they will be playing in Mexico City in early September, and they have a confirmed gig for late October.
