If you don't know Bajofondo, they are an Argentinian/Uruguayan band that plays (what I like to call) techno-tango. You can hear them on their MySpace page.They played at the 9:30 Club. It's a good space, but the trick is to get there early and stake out a spot on the balcony. We got held up at Ben's and arrived late, hence the picture from afar.
They were good, a little too good even. Being electronic, they sample a lot of stuff. It felt like the instrumental equivalent of lip synching. Still, they were worth seeing, even if I spent the whole time wishing I hadn't quit doing drugs.
The crowd was waaaaaay yuppie (picture striped button down shirts under cable knit sweaters). Also, who knew there were so many Argentinians here in DC?
