Los Cripis from Buenos Aires, Argentina embody the DIY punk ethos. They play simple and primitive psychedelic new-wave punk, saturated in energy and freshness. Pedals and effects are banned. Albums are recorded in a single take in their basic home studio to capture the spontaneity of the moment. Their music is free to download from their own record label Fariscal Records or website. After an intensive European tour last year they’re hitting the road again, bringing their ramshackle charm to Manchester. Support comes from Sex Hands (Manchester), Sissy Hex (Leeds) and Dogs Legs (London).
