Earlier this month we hooked you up with the latest video from our friends in the Mexico City based indie pop group Chikita Violenta. They were easily some of the nicest dudes that we met here in Austin last March, and the acoustic set they performed for us (which you will get to see very soon) was mighty amazing. Fortunately, even more of you will now have an opportunity to catch them live, as they have officially announced a short run of US tour dates. This is their first time to play the west coast, so you won’t want to miss ‘em! You can also pick up some free Chikita Violenta MP3s over at RCRD LBL.
