Macha Mexico: A Lesbian Guide to Mexico City » dj guagüis http://www.machamexico.com Go, Macha! Go! Wed, 06 Apr 2011 04:14:44 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 Ultrasonicas in concert http://www.machamexico.com/2011/03/12/ultrasonicas-in-concert/ http://www.machamexico.com/2011/03/12/ultrasonicas-in-concert/#comments Sun, 13 Mar 2011 00:25:16 +0000 Anna http://www.machamexico.com/?p=1782 The members Ultrasonicas have been adding their loud female voices to Mexico City’s punk rock scene for well over ten years, playing their riot girl/garage/rock hits at the Foro Alicia, the Mercado del Chopo, and other DF punk venues. Made up of Jenny Bombo, Roxxy Glam, and the ubiquitous Ali Gua Gua, this iconic Mexican female punk band will be performing at Cabaretito Fusion on April 7 as part of the second LGBT Festival of Rock.

If Ali Gua Gua’s name sounds familiar, it may be because she’s been mentioned on this blog many times in various incarnations: DJ-about-town DJ Guagüis, one-woman electroclash act Afrodyke (a “autopiracy” cover of former collaborator Afrodite), and as the lead singer of our favorite queer cumbia punk band, the Kumbia Queers. If you like Ali Gua Gua’s later work, or if you just like tough-ass chicks with guitars, come see Ultrasonicas play their hits in a queer venue.

Ultrasonicas; Thursday, April 7, 2011, 11pm; Cabaretito Fusion, 77 Londres, Zona Rosa; 5511 1613, no cover for women

Now, DJ Guagüis is reviving Kumbia Knights, for one night only (at least for the time being…). This Wednesday, November 11, she joins invited guest Bootlegumachine at El Imperial  in the Colonia Condesa. I’m guessing this is a mixed (gay/straight) event, but ladies get in free between 9 and 11 pm (after that it’s 50 pesos), so gather up a group of machas and dance your asses off to some fierce kumbia spun by DJ Guagüis. She’s one of our favorite macha personalities in all of Mexico City.
