Mars Volta meets Cafe Tacvba!

For those of you who love the Mars Volta... but also appreciate the subtle harmonies of Cafe Tacvba, please meet Austin TV one of the newest bands coming from the DF (as in Mexico, DF). It is a very beautiful melodic rock sound that is sure to captivate anyone. I saw them for the first time a couple of months ago opening for Cafe Tacvba at the 9:30 Club in DC.

I was completely tuned in to their sound after just a few seconds of listening to their extremely mellow but powerful melodies. I also noticed they are all wearing masks, very intrinsic green masks (look like goblins) which they never took off throughout the show and as they explain: "We thought that we wanted to give not only an audio show but an audiovisual show, and try to make a different experience each time, and when possible get more conceptual in every show and stuff around it. About the masks: We think that people is worth by itself and his physical appearances doesn't always say the real thing.. Your face is not important the truth is inside!"

Without further .... Please enjoy!

This is the live version of their first single (Marduk) from their newest album, Fontana Bella:
