Crystal Castles in Maquinaria 2011

Hi everyone!!!
today I'm commenting about a concert of one of my favorite bands!!
the name is Crystal Castles. Crystal Castles is a Canadian electronic experimental band formed in 2004 in Toronto consisting of producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass. The duo is known for their chaotic live shows and lo-fi melancholic homemade productions. They released many limited vinyl EPs between 2006 and 2007.
I could discover this group across the social networks (in a forum of electronic music) in the 2007; then I follow every video and disc that they announced. I really wish to see them in a live concert, but but it was difficult that they were coming to Chile to the being a band from Canada. Years after the page of a Blondie discotheque in on his web page they announced the live concert of CC in Chile (2010), I can't believe it was really filled with enthusiasm; the problem is that I could not go for personal motives and I was feeling really sad and in this minute I imagined that indeed nevermore to seeing them in life.
The some year later, checking the bands that might be in the "Maquinaria festival"(2011) I saw that again permission CC and indeed that this time i buy the ticket they were in Internet. The wait to enter this day was eternal, but, as soon as between and I could see the concert through, was an unforgettable experience. The music that does this duo does of that truth my body tremble and it fills it with energy. Now they came this year to the Lollapalooza (2013) not great and whenever they extract new songs, his style is advancing and Growing. I wait to be able to see them soon in another concert (and I expect to have the money hahaha!) thanks everyone to read my post about one of my favorite bands!

Vacation in Cartagena

Hi! I’m going to talk about this beach called Cartagena because I was invited by my girlfriend’s relatives for our vacation. This beach is located in the province of San Antonio, Valparaíso. My girlfriend goes almost every summer, but this was one of the few times I go there, but this time was special. She was already in Cartagena when I was invited, so we met in San Antonio with her family. We went to walk along the fairs where she likes to buy presents to her family, and then with her parents and sisters we went to have launch at a sea food restaurant. We had a really good time eating there; we laughed, talked and enjoyed a lot the time we spent there. It was very nice. After that, we walk along San Antonio, watched the sea wolfs, seagulls and the ships that were arriving to the port. Then we went to Cartagena, where we met with others relatives of her, and in that time we walked along the sand, watched the sea and what it surprised me the most was the “Wave-Breaker” (rompe olas). It’s a way long big wall that separates the hill from the high rocks and big waves. So, the attracting thing about this wave-breaker, is that everytime a wave hits the wall, the water crashes so hard that all the people standing there gets all wet but not accidentally, but because they want to get wet. So it’s really funny, especially when the wave it’s quite big. Late at night, we made a barbecue, with a lot of meat, wine and some oysters with cheese; those are so yummy we ate a lot. So we had a really nice time but at the next day it was time to say goodbye and go back to Santiago. Even if it was just one day and a half, I spend an awesome time with my girlfriend and her family, I got to know them better and they got to know me better. So that would be it, I hope you enjoyed reading this because It was a short but great vacation I had. Thanks for reading
