SXSW 2012

CANDY is an independent Mexican Post-punk New-wave band that was formed in 2005. They are 3 multi-national musicians that were born and raised in various parts of the planet, before meeting in Mexico where they have known each other and played together since their teens. CANDY wants to surprise, awake, make people dance inside and outside themselves to their sometimes quirky, playful, noisy, other times elegant, intense and dark music and lyrics. Their always varying inspiration sources are Psychoanalysis, Scandinavian films, German literature and Mexican lifestyle.
They have released an LP Stranger (2009) and have an upcoming second LP Control to be released in February 2012, which was produced by Café Tacvba’s Joselo Rangel and Liquits’ Ro Velázquez.
