The other night I went to see Le Plebe, a local S.F. punk band. Although, the phrase 'local S.F. punk band' is so boring to me anymore. So I'll redefine them as the Latin Rancid (Rancid is a famous local band). Le Plebe has fast punk rock songs with a lot of horns and a dancy swagger. Best of all its en Espanol. The vibe of the shows are never too cool, scary, or lame- like some punk rock shows I have been to in recent years. Plus, the band members are all extremely nice, down-to-earth and grateful that you came out to see them. In fact, I realized that at least one of the band members attends SFSU. The band tours all over the globe and particularily countries in eastern Europe like Bulgaria. They love it there and are sensitive to issues that surround the people of the reigons. This is a show to just let loose and relax.

yeah I can totally relate to your experience. I first saw La Plebe almost three years ago. I've met them before after thier concerts and agree they are down to earth. Some friends also saw them perform at the CSU in Monterey. But totally unaware they also went to Europe.
I have this CD with tons of good Ska-bands with some Latino origin. i'll have to get back to you about it.
