Flamenco+Metallica = Gabriela y Rodrigo

Dana was back in town with Matt Pond (see below). Touring with Gomez and a never-heard-of mexican guitar duo as opening band. Little did I know the opening band would prove to be one of the most amazing acoustic guitar performances ever witnessed. Check it out on their website www.rodgab.com , or look at some videos on www.youtube.com. Gabriela manages to use a guitar as a full drumkit, while Rodrigo's fingers touch every fret on the guitar in between two beats of every normal tune. Amazing. Back in Seattle in December. But Dublin based, so Europe will hopefully be next.
