Show review here of our 05/16/13 show at Antone’s in Austin, TX by Kevin Curtin of the Austin Chronicle:
“Even after witnessing accordion legends Celso Piña and Flaco Jiménez earlier this month at Pachanga, I was still impressed by the furious squeeze-box stylings of Pinata Protest’s Alvaro Del Norte. His Latino punk band brought their high energy, road-tested live show to the new Antone’s Thursday night, celebrating sophomore full-length El Valiante, produced locally by Chris “Frenchie” Smith and branded onto Hickoids head-honcho Jeff Smith’s San Antonio imprint Saustex Media.
Just as Flogging Molly found success mixing Irish music with punk rock and Gogol Bordello turned non-believers on to Eastern European dance music, the San Antonio quartet delivered a supercharged take on traditional Tex-Mex styles Thursday, covering “La Cucaracha” and “Volver Volver” without sounding cheesy. Considering their growing fan base, all of whom are willing to circle-pit to rancheras, Pinata Protest could be next to change the trad-punk game.”
