When Paulina leaves the drum kit in the hands of someone else and comes up front to sing she brings her drummer energy with her. There are three or four videos of this performance, all amateur with less-than-ideal audio, but it’s a treat to see her perform one of her Spanish language signature songs. I’ll take the short skirt as a bit of a bonus. You’ll notice that the girls as a rule don’t show off their bodies the way other female performers do (and bear in mind they are latinas and in that world of entertainment female performers are almost expected to sell themselves that way).
Here’s another amateur video with poor audio where she’s unencumbered by her drum kit. It’s a jam session, basically, with the Argentinian alt-rock trio, Eruca Sativa, on the Nirvana song Breed.
Now, after seeing her in this performance, try to imagine her high on cocaine.
BTW, Eruca Sativa is fronted by females on guitar and bass with a male drummer.

Here’s a brand new video of the girls performing live in Mexico. The video is good (for amateur) but the audio is plagued by the fact that the camera picks up the sound of the audience singing along better than the band itself. Still, it’s fun to watch because the video is that good.
BTW, they have a new song that’s really different from their other work. It’s called “More” (title subject to change, apparently) and it’s at 36:26.

WTF? Read the blurb below the video.
If you go here, you’ll find an entire playlist of many of their tunes played in Dia de los Muertes (Day of the Dead) costume and makeup. Excellent video and sound, as you can see. Lots of fun.
Yes, good find Unseen. The band are actual musicians that play real instruments and can sing. It is good to find happy musicians as their music cheers you up. Check out Andrea Ra for a few minutes.
That was good. Latino punk? or Italian?
BTW, “dipuenzs” is Mexican/Chicano slang. a gangsta term, expressing an apology, or remorse, like the phrase “my bad”. From the dictionary of Urban Slang.
While they are quite good, the obsession with The Warning involves much more than just their musical competence. It’s also their backstory as a band that’s been together, honing their skills, since they were children Ale, the bassist, and youngest was eight in the band’s first iteration as an actual band. Dany, the oldest was only thirteen.
And then there’s the English thing. While they are now doing a few songs in Spanish, most of their material and all of their earliest material is in English. They speak colloquial English. And through the lack of a language we can observe them offstage and in interviews revealing their personalities.
Also, through getting to know them in more everyday life situations, we discover that they are adorable girls any healthy-minded human might want to be around. They are humble and not spoiled by their success. Finally, there is the obvious love they have for each other.
Unfortunatly for Andrea Ra, there isn’t a whole lot about them out there by which I might discover if they have an equally interesting backstory.
