Para Nativo Rock
Urbe Prima @ Marzo 2010
A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS!!
What an amazing month this has been!! URBEPRIMA is getting ready for its 2010 tour and with a brand new repertoire and with so many surprises for this year, you're not going to want to miss a beat!
On Wednesday, March 10th, the new URBEPRIMA played its brand new repertoire @ iRock, with an amazing turnout that exceeded all expectations and marked a victorious beginning of the year for the band!! A wave of optimism filled the night, as the members of the audience found themselves captivated by a show produced in its entirety by local talent, that is, by URBEPRIMA and the guys from LATI-2. People had a blast while listening to independent, original, brand new Rock, and the echo of several Spanish Rock classics. What a night that was!! We would like to thank Ruby Bermudez and Los Billares, for helping to give the Kissimmee audience an enriching cultural alternative.
Also on March 13th, locals KOOL US, VERSUSNOVA, & PARAFANELIA. rocked out @ The Haven!! This was an amazing show, where all three bands returned to the stage after a long period of silence.
On March 19th, @ Taste Restaurant we had independent art, music, and succulent food @ one of the best atmospheres in Orlando! This time, Apartment E & Arte-facto brought some of the best underground rock on the East Coast: The indie dance-rock of Atlanta's SATELLITE DISTRICT, who is back on stage after their 2009 US tour, opened the night and made everyone tap to the music and contemplate their original light show; next, the psychedelic rock of Orlando's KAPSULA filled the air, as they prepare for their 2010 tour; following, the alternative sounds of Miami's SUPERSAM showed why they are one of the best in the East coast, while people enjoyed their tunes; finally, the return of Orlando's powerful KOOL US rocked everyone out, as their followers were asking for more! We want to thank Frankie from Apartment-E and Taste restaurant for letting us put this events together, and giving yet another place to the movement that is growing more than ever! This was the first of many Arte-facto events @ Taste, which will happen monthly from now on!!
Let's take a look @ what's coming:
