LAST MINUTE HARDCORE SHOW!!!
La Armada is now on tour with Strung Out until Sunday when their leg of the tour ends in California...but then they have to get home to Chicago...and that's a long drive! let's help them out with a last minute show so they can at least get some gas!
++ LA ARMADA ++
During the early and mid-2000′s La Armada established themselves as one of the most influential bands in the Hardcore/Punk scene in their native Dominican Republic where they played countless shows and notched 2 releases under their belt. In 2007, after making a tough but groundbreaking decision to leave a land where even DIY culture is a commodity and very limited platforms existed to present their music, the band decided to relocate to Chicago.
After becoming immersed in the city’s infamous music scene and touring extensively around the country, the band became exposed to distinct subgenres including grindcore, powerviolence, crust-punk and traditional hardcore & metal sounds. These influences, fused with the band’s native tendencies towards the intricate percussion lines present in Latin music, have developed into their first proper release, a self-titled 11 song vinyl, which delivers crushing bursts of what the band has affectionately coined “Latino Hardcore Fury”. Released in late March 2012 on behalf of the Memphis, TN label Fat Sandwich Records this album successfully manages to possess the brutality and energy that bleeds out of their live shows night after night. Recorded, mixed and mastered by longtime friend and collaborator, Juan Carlos “Kanky” Lora (Marc Rizzo, Kingdom of Sorrow, Cavalera conspiracy, Jasta), the record will have you raising your eyebrows and fists with its aggressive riffs, intricate song structures, piercing vocals, and driving rhythm section.
Backing up their musical delivery are sharp witted lyrics that touch on a variety of pertinent social issues such as immigration rights, globalization, and class struggle in general, the band takes on a cynical perspective on governmental authority and phoney corporate “first world” activism. Along with many of their Chicago predecessors La Armada is unwilling to compromise their native Spanish language in their music; the band addresses this usually recognized linguistic barrier by taking their live set on the road. With an extensive touring background that has taken them to every corner of the US, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic; and now with an album that truly personifies the band’s sound, La Armada will now be touring full time visiting the rest of Latin America, Mexico, Canada and Europe.

++ LIVING VICTIM ++
Started out in 2008. Mike Huber and Earl Skow met at a show and discussed starting a band with Alex Loth from Eastern Turkish. They started a band called Proper Citizen that lasted a good month. They were terrible and pledge to never play a show as a band again. Mike and Earl were talking about starting a new band and went on to form Living Victim with drummer Nate Talarico and bassist Kyle Cappellano from The Stupid Cunts. It was a very rocky start, but ended up being a crowd favorite in Omaha, Nebraska. It all started to fall apart in 2010 due to complications with band members. So, they called it off.
In 2011, Earl contacted Mike to see if he wanted to start it again. He politely turned it down. So, Earl contacted Nate and Kyle to see if they wanted to start again. They both thought it was a great idea. Kyle moved to guitar and they grab Chance Arnold and threw him on bass. Then, for more sound, added Michael Manfroi on second guitar. Writing new songs and playing some old ones they are now going places they never did before. "Look out world, we're here to fuck shit up."
