Post Pastel

In the latest issue of Fader, they covered the music scene down in Mexico City. Of course, with my love for DF (Chilangolandia), I did some research and discovered that I love me some Post Pastel. Their music is spastic sugary pop reminiscent of vintage B-52’s and I had the pleasure of interviewing Llesi from the group.

PostPastel (postcake) is the result of eating delicious special cakes of all flavors and colors, junk food cakes, cupcakes, and Sanborns cakes!
Postcake is the state and effect of eating a cake, which creates a state of extraordinary lucidity and creativity (hard laughter and stupidity) postcake is the best!!!!

Best Place to play in Mexico City?

Mexcongo, El Patio de mi Casa but it was shut down…tho the best gig of Postpastel was its debut on the roof in downtown Mexico, there was a lot of people and everyone loved it, there was blood, and fights, people peeing, everything!!!
I’d also like to play in La Perla or Bombay (tropical music joints).
