The last week has been hard for me. Exams week at school, my PC got a virus that controls the mouse (and I haven't found how to stop it). Not a lucky week.
This week started as bad as were the next days. I was supposed to attend the Marlboro MxBeat at Puebla (a city an hour far from Mexico City). In this fest I was supposed to see Dj Medhi and other artists, but I was attending mainly because of CSS, Cansei de Ser Sexy, or whatever. They're a brazilian band signed the previous year by Subpop Records; I heard them the previous year and immediatly fell in love with them. They have a great humour shown in songs such as Meeting Paris Holton, Patins or Let's Make Love and Listen To Death From Above. I love this band, I think they're, among with Klaxons, my favorite 2006's musical discovery.
So, why didn't them played at MxBeat?
According to their official site:
We are not going to Mexico due to Visa Problems.We were supposed to play tomorrow night at the MX Beat but our visas won’t be ready on time.And yesterday I spoke with other bands that said that Mexico is the best audience in the world. We were really looking forward to go there.
I promisse we will make up to this really soon.We know we have a lot of fans in Mexico since the beginning of CSS.Actualy, I think the first international responce we had was from Mexico.
Please don’t think it was our fault.
Lots and Lots of Love.

Ok, I believe it was not their fault. But... what would you do if you bought tickets for a gig outside your hometown? and a day before the gig, browsing in the band's site, you shock because they're not attending?
Anyway, CSS keeps being one of my 10 favorite bands. I hope seeing them someday... even outside Mexico... but I'm not attending Coachella next spring.
Fuck Off!!
