Margaritas Podridas at the Roxy: Mexico-based shoegaze/grunge/punk rockers Margaritas Podridas signed to Hopeless Records last month, and swiftly released the “Tortilla” single.

“The quartet, fronted by Carolina Enriquez, has been steadily rising to punk rock stardom, grabbing attention left and right with their raucous anthems of rebellion and statement-making stage presence,” reads a recent press release. “The Hermosillo, Mexico-based quartet Margaritas Podridas was born out of admiration for the underground rock landscape of the ‘90s, culling from the distortion-laden songwriting of the grunge scene, the scuzz-coated pop of shoegaze, and the noisy sojourns of that decade’s college rock’s guitar icons.”

"Sonics aside, there’s a political streak and DIY ethic in Margaritas Podridas that recalls the confrontational idealism of their musical forebearers, evidenced in their underage scene building efforts in their hometown, their negation of the English language despite their growing international fanbase, and their penchant for giving the middle finger to sexism in both the music industry and the broader world," it continues.

There aren’t a ton of shows this week, but this lot at the Roxy will be a treat. Glixen, Alex Vile, and Quinn the Brain also perform.

Margaritas Podridas at the Roxy: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Friday, December 22 at the Roxy Theatre.
