2016 was an emotionally draining year. I didn't release a single track, album, comic, fanzine or whatever in this strange period until today the last day of the gregorian calendar. Love to all.

FRANK ZAPPA MEGA MIX by Manitas Nerviosas

This is not a Manitas Nerviosas song. Fue un esfuerzo colaborativo para reflejar la oscura realidad que vivimos desde el 2010

Juana Adcock: Words
Meme Martinez: Drums
Valis Ortiz: Guitar and bass

WE ARE NOW NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD IN THE INDUSTRY OF KIDNAPPING
I read in the papers but I've fled
por que no quiero saber, I don't want to hear,
que me quiten all the numbers - Knowledge

con only take place within cierto radius
que se extiende por mis limbs hasta mis toes and fingers
and to those within the reach of mis toes and fingers
of my dedos and dedos uncut
by gardening shears, unused for ransom
fingers I can drum
en la mesa while I gaze out the window onto my leafy street
wondering whether la razón
for my depression tal vez sea algo en mi dieta
or the weather perhaps

Y ya ni me acuerdo de how I walked down las escaleras del metro
and  I dodged a beggar making a pitiful scene of herself
kneeling onto broken glass and smearing
bloody broken glass on her arms and cheeks
and how I never used to notice que el bombardeo de tragedies have become 
so competitive

Ráscate en las calles

We are now number one in the world in the industry of kidnapping

A Love Supermeme

Experimental multi-instrumentalist Valis is a cult figure of Monterrey’s underground, thanks to her seminal work with beloved psych and noise bands like Bam Bam and XYX. Her solo project, Manitas Nerviosas, explores a long-held fascination with the darker corners of the human condition, framing her investigations on a ghostly canvas of warped synths and tape manipulation
