Bestia Bebé + Banani
By Kit Macdonald
Consistently one of the most vital Spanish-language indie-rock bands out there for the past decade and change, Bestia Bebé were formed in Buenos Aires in 2011 by four close friends: Tom Quintans (guitar, vocals, keys), Chicho Guisolfi (bass), Polaco Ocorso (drums), and Topo Topino (guitar). They were determined to channel the spirit and sound of bands such as The Strokes and Guided By Voices through a Spanish-language lens, and they've been tremendously successful in doing so, releasing six albums to date and touring the world.
Expect a goodtime mix of memorable riffs, distorted guitars and intimate, catchy lyrics on everyday themes such as football and friendship, and all at a fraction of the price of a ticket to the Oasis reunion gigs. Support from Banani, who are onstage at 8.30pm, while the headliners are on at 9.45pm.
