The first audience looked back on her career and accompanied her in the first decade of her career, in the middle of the founding phase of the so-called “Argentinian sound rock”with hits like D’generation, Malón, Holy Skater, Viva Satana, His Stag, Six Barefoot Virgins And Shamelessall with videos in wide distribution in the age of cable channels such as MTV Latino, Music21 and Much Music.

And although their appeal never waned, they continued to tour Latin America and score truly massive hits. The next breakthrough in his career was his albums before and after the pandemic.: Questionable (with topics like The question And ingredient) And Trench (Bye-bye, The Left of the Night, Mimos are mimes).
So today they have an audience of teenagers and twenty-somethings who are joining in Millennials 2000 and old Baby Boomers who saw them play at legendary venues like Die Schule and Cemento. They all helped fill two dates at Ferro Stadium for the band’s almost traditional New Year’s Eve show, which now also coincides with the recent album release Body, Vol. 1.

The show started at 9:15 p.m. with the new single, warningwhere the band stood in a row with a huge video screen behind them. Adrián Dárgelos wore a kind of boa with large golden fringes, almost a Christmas tree on stage. addicted to Mimes are pantomimes And paradoxwhere she took off her glitter and wore a jacket with embroidery and sequins.

After Nordic lie And ingredient arrive the first surprise: Your deeran old hit from their third album, with rock energy and riffs from the best Black Sabbath. They kept rocking along without my devil (red lights on stage and pogo on the field) and Folk festival (Fan images on the screen).
The pause and climate change went hand in hand Private and the brand new one time out, and then attack with that Power from Laugh, free, position And They are called, from the period 2001-2004.
Laconic par excellence, Dárgelos repeated “Thank you very much!” and added, “What do you want from me?” between smiles. An hour of concert had passed and there were still anthology moments like vampire (where it was added Carca to the applause of the fans), The fool, the spear, goodbye And How things were.
That wasn’t all: they followed none other than And (even the audience stood up), Charismatic, mare, whore And Shameless. but not before he had said, “They look prettier up close,” because he had gotten between the audience in the front rows and the fences.
