Reflecting on past deeds; some well intentioned while others, not. The ways we had been wronged or the choice to see it that way because sometimes that's easier than the truth. 

The prose and cons of having thin skin to protect a thick heart, put "in letter form" perhaps? A love letter? An anti love letter? Hate mail? A photograph? A song? An exclamation of the joy of life? A suicide note? 

All of the above; In Letter Form.

In Letter Form is
Eric Miranda (vocals, keyboards, guitars) 
James Levis (guitars, production, engineering, programming)
Peter Dosanjh (bass)
Andres Lopez (drums, percussion)

MOMPOX se forma en Buenos Aires en el verano de 2008 con una propuesta en mente: crear una banda conformada por varios cantantes-compositores en la que conviva la búsqueda compositiva y arreglística del pop norteamericano de los 50’s y la psicodelia de los 60’s junto a la experimentación sonora actual. En el verano de 2009, luego de componer una veintena de temas,  comienzan a grabar su primer disco en distintos estudios de Buenos Aires (Panda, El Pie, Mandarina) con la participación de más de veinte músicos invitados. “Mompox & The Big Umbrella”, el resultado de esas sesiones de grabación, se edita en enero de 2010 de forma independiente. El disco cruza y amalgama múltiples sonoridades e influencias. Así se llegan a interpretar géneros como rock y psicodelia, folk, pop orquestal, rockabilly, bolero... Durante 2010 el disco es presentado en vivo en Buenos Aires y la primera edición de mil copias se agota en diciembre. Ese mismo mes estrenan en Muchmusic el video-clip del primer corte de difusión, “So mad”, dirigido por Federico Lamas, que estuvo en rotación durante el verano de 2011. 
En mayo de 2011 MOMPOX entra en los míticos estudios ION de Buenos Aires a grabar el sucesor de “The Big Umbrella”. En noviembre del mismo año sale a la luz ▲.  En este nuevo lanzamiento, Mompox presenta un trabajo compacto y complejo a base de synth rock, con buenas dosis de pop y psicodelia bailable. Nos encontramos con una banda que deja de lado el formato predominantemente acústico de su primer álbum para explorar el mundo de los  sintetizadores y las viejas máquinas de ritmos. En esta búsqueda, logran desarrollar su costado más eléctrico y electrónico. 
“Perfect Service”, primer corte de difusión de ▲, comienza a rotar por las radios en Diciembre. El video-clip del tema (estrenado en MuchMusic en febrero de 2012) es dirigido por Dr. Sepian y producido por Wunderka y traslada al plano visual la psicodelia sonora que Mompox propone en su nuevo disco. 
Grabado en ION y en La Siesta del Fauno, el estudio de Ernesto Romeo (Klauss), ▲ contiene trece  canciones donde la banda sigue desarrollando un particular estilo que mixtura la música pop y rock de los 50's y 60's con un revestimiento sonoro moderno. Una estética que podría sugerir la improbable cruza entre Buddy Holly y Kraftwerk, Donovan y Gorillaz o Roy Orbison y el primer New Order. 
En su corta pero intensa trayectoria, MOMPOX ha tocado en Buenos Aires en Niceto Club, La Trastienda, Ciudad Cultural Konex, Groove, Crobar, Roxy, Teatro Margarita Xirgu, Salón Real, Café Vinilo, entre otros, y ha compartido escenario con bandas como The Ting Tings (UK) (con quienes encabezaron el Buenos Aires Sounds Fest), Astro (CHL), Nairobi, Morbo y Mambo, Las Kellies, Cosmo y Betty Confetti, entre otros. En mayo de 2012 emprenden su primera gira por México de la mano de Forastero Producciones, participando del Festival Marvin 2012, donde tocan con bandas como Atlas Sound (US), Crocodiles (US) y Nortec Collective (MEX). Entre mayo y principios de junio realizan diez shows en las ciudades de Toluca, D.F., Cholula, Satélite y Guadalajara, tocando en lugares como Pasagüero, Foro 246, Caradura, Pata Negra, Film Club Café y Foro Landó, entre otros. Luego de la gira, son fichados por el sello Discos Intolerancia.
De vuelta en Buenos Aires, participan en junio del Festival Ciudad Emergente 2012, compartiendo escenario con Bomba Estéreo (COL), Dorian (ESP) y Daniel Melero, entre otros, y son elegidos para abrir el show de la banda australiana Tame Impala el 18 de agosto en Niceto Club. 
En marzo de 2013 viajan a Estados Unidos para participar del festival SXSW en Austin, Texas, presentándose primero junto a Franny Glass (Uruguay) y Emicida (Brasil) en The Whiskey Room y luego junto a sus compatriotas de Él Mató a Un Policía Motorizado y Les Mentettes en el showcase oficial del MICA, “Sounds from Argentina”. Luego viajan a México por segunda vez para participar del festival Vive Latino, donde comparten fecha con Blur y Tame Impala, entre otros, y realizar una serie de shows en D.F. y alrededores con motivo de promocionar la edición mexicana de ▲, lanzado en marzo a través de Discos Intolerancia.

MOMPOX begins in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the summer of 2008 with an objective in mind: to create a band of several singer-songwriters in which 50's American pop and 60's psychedelic composition and arrangement styles mix with modern sound experimentation. In the summer of 2009, they begin to record their first album in various studios of Buenos Aires (Panda, El Pie, Mandarina) with the participation of over twenty guest musicians. "Mompox & The Big Umbrella" is released in January 2010 independently.  The album crosses and amalgam multiple sounds and influences. We can hear styles like psychedelic rock, folk, orchestral pop, rockabilly… During 2010, the album is performed live in Buenos Aires and the first edition of a thousand copies is sold out in December. That same month, the video clip for the first single, "So mad," directed by Federico Lamas, premiers on Muchmusic and is continuously aired during the summer of 2011.

In May 2011, MOMPOX enters the mythical ION studio of Buenos Aires with the aim of recording the successor to "The Big Umbrella". In November, ▲ is released through PBK Music. The band consolidates its sound with a compact and complex synth-based rock sound, with a good dose of psychedelic and danceable pop. In this new record, Mompox leaves aside the predominantly acoustic format of their first album to explore the world of analog synths and old drum machines, developing the most electric and electronic side of the band.

Recorded in ION and La Siesta del Fauno, the studio of Ernesto Romeo (Klauss), ▲ includes thirteen songs in which the band continues to develop a unique style that mixes pop music from the 50's and 60's with hi-fi and experimental modern sounds. An aesthetic that could suggest an unlikely cross between Buddy Holly and Kraftwerk, Gorillaz and Donovan or Roy Orbison and the first New Order.

In its short but intense career, MOMPOX has played in various venues of Buenos Aires such as Niceto Club, La Trastienda, Ciudad Cultural Konex, Groove, Crobar, Roxy, Margarita Xirgu Theatre, Salón Real and Café Vinilo, among others. They have played with bands like Tame Impala, The Ting Tings (U.K.) (headlining the Buenos Aires Sounds Fest 2012), Astro (CHL), Él Mató a Un Policía Motorizado, Nairobi, Morbo y Mambo, Las Kellies, Les Mentettes, Michael Mike, Cosmo and Yataians.

In May 2012 they participate in Marvin Festival 2012, one of the most important music festivals in Mexico, sharing the stage with bands like Atlas Sound (U.S.), Nortec Collective (MX), Crocodiles (U.S.), Silverio (MX) and The Boxer Rebellion (U.K.). After the success of the tour, they’re signed by indie record label Discos Intolerancia. The Mexican edition of ▲ was released and presented in March 2013, during the second international tour of the band, that included a show in Vive Latino Festival in México City, two gigs in SXSW Festival (Austin, Texas) and more than 10 shows in D.F. and in the cities of Toluca, Cholula and Satélite.

Bethany Saint-Smith & The Pretty Ruins, a garage/rockabilly/blues band in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Mongrel State is a four-piece band from Dublin with a sound that incorporates a wide sonic palette - from Rockabilly to Rock, Latin-American grooves and Cinematic Western Scores. ASIDEfrom their unique songwriting, what really sets them apart is the fire, commitment and energy that GOES into their live performances.
The members come from all over (hence inspiring the “Mongrel” of their title): Claudio Mercante – guitarist and vocals, from Italy; Darren Flynn – bassist and vocals, from Ireland, Sebastian Jezzi – drummer, percussionist and vocals, from Argentina and Guillermo González Rodríguez – pianist and vocals, from Spain. They have been drawn together, almost as if by fate, each BRINGING with them their own individual sound, to make up a whole which is definitely more than the sum of its parts.
They are currently putting the finishing touches to their latest album, working with producer Gavin GLASS on what is turning out to be an amazing record.

Originally starting off in 2010 under the name “Moo”, the band has been gigging solidly for the last 5 years, CONTINUING to write, evolve and develop their sound into the complex tapestry it has become. This culminated in their decision to change name completely early in 2015 to reflect their newer sound.

As Moo, they released two records – Wanted (2011) and Tall Tales (2013) – both available on iTunes, and had several other notable highlights in 2014 – touring the UK, headlining the Trailer Park STAGE at the Electric Picnic, playing at Life Festival, Fortstock, Carlow Arts Festival, and Light Colour Sound to name but a few, along with touring extensively all over the country.

Andrea Alvarez is an artist popular and avant-garde. Avant-garde because she was the first woman recognized as a percussionist and drummer, almost the only one who participated with great continuity and national prominence in the rock scene. Popular, because she featured as a professional musician in major events with great artists in national and international stages.  
Charly Garcia, Divididos (both as a drummer and percussionist alternate) and Soda Stereo (as a percussionist for three years, including endless tours and recording three of their albums) are some of these names, and beyond rock: Celia Cruz, Tito Puente and Alex Acuña.  Andrea started her solo career in 2001, having released three impressive full length albums since then ("Andrea Alvarez" 2001, "Dormis?" 2006, and "Doble A" 2008), and having performed heavily, delivering energetic and original live shows every time. 

"Doble A", her latest work, was brought to life by powerful producer Jim Diamond (White Stripes), and the album has received unanimous outstanding reviews by the music media in Argentina.  After a 10 year solo career, Andrea is now launching her latest production. For the first time in Argentina, an artist makes a high quality DVD to be distributed freely through out the world, to be downloaded from her web site, thus, adapting to the most current ways of communication and global diffusion, with the intention of breaking barriers as well as sharing her music throughout the world.  The musicians joining Andrea during the complete show is bassist, Lonnie Hillyer from New York City (Maggie's Dream, Robi Draco Rosa and Gordon Gano of Violent Femmes, among others), and the young Argentinian guitarist, León Peirone.  The complete material of "DOBLE  A - EN VIVO EN ESTUDIO ION" is now available and can be downloaded free of charge from the official website of Andrea Alvarez:   www.andreaalvarez.com 
Her new record is "Y Lo Dejamos venir"
