I think I have an Obsessive Personality Disorder. Or is that Addictive Personality Disorder? Either way, I currently obsessed/addicated to trolling MySpace for music. The upside: there's a lot of music to check out. The downside: there's a lot of crap, but it makes finding a good band that much more rewarding, right??

Last night I came upon a band named Made in Mexico who describe their music as: Punk / Reggaeton / Salsa. That coupled with some crazy graphical treatment to their home page drew me in for a listen.

The crazy part: they kinda sound like an angry lesbian separatist band and I liked it and as I sit here listening to them again, I'm not sure why. It really reminds me of something that I can't place right now, but I keep thinking of the Mia Zapata / Gits documentary I saw recently.

Hailing from Providence, Rhode Island, these ex-members of Arab On Radar, La Machine, and Bossman play music. The kind that inspired Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore to buy them drinks the last time they played Brooklyn. Made in Mexico came into existence when Rebecca Mitchell moved to Providence from Oklahoma and was asked by Dare Matheson and Jon Loper (members of Providence's psychedelic freak-out ensemble La Machine) to start a band. Jon recalls that "Rebecca called and asked if I was into the idea of dragging Jeff Schneider out. Schneider was a guitarist in Arab On Radar. I'd played with him before so it seemed like a good enough idea to try."

Check out their home page on SkinGraftRecord's site for more info on the band. Definitely check out their MySpace, where you can test drive some songs, get tour dates, and watch a video for Guerillaton.
