OK SO HERE'S THE DEAL, IT RECENTLY BECAME CLEAR TO US THAT THE CONTEMPORARY MUSIC SCENE IN BOTH THE MAINSTREAM AND THE UNDERGROUND SENSE WAS LACKING. NOTHING SEEMED TO SPEAK TO US, LYRICALLY AND MUSICALLY THINGS SEEMED SO VACUOUS AND VAGUE. MUSIC SEEMS TO BE CONCERNED WITH PREPARATION FOR ADVERTS/ DAYIME RADIO OR EVEN (WORSE STILL) FOR KNOWINGLY COOL STATEMENTS TO BE CASUALLY SPAT OUT FOR THE HIP THINGS WHO DOMINATE THE GRASS ROOTS SCENE. THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING... WHERE WE GIVE UP OUR MODERATE SUCCESS SO FAR TO OFFER SOMETHING WITH PASSION, ANGER, WITHOUT COMPROMISE... SOMETHING WHICH HOPEFULLY CAN RELATE TO YOU, SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN, SOMETHING WHERE WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO TAKE THE PISS OUT OF THE WORLD AROUND US... AND OURSELVES! LETS KICK OUT THE SAME OLD SHIT...
An Awesome cocktail of the sour flavours of '80s post punkers like Pil and Pere Ubu decorated with glace cherries of grunge-pop - NME

Cool man, hope you like! We're pretty happy with it so we just want people to hear. Sorry we've been so slack in sorting out shows, it's just hard at the moment cause none of us seem to be in the same place for long enough to sort anything out. Hopefully we're gonna be doing a 7" soon so we'll be looking to do some dates to go along with that. We'll be in touch.

*Su nombre lo dice, es un “buffet de beats“, un mashup de sonidos y remixes en vivo, una nueva forma de llegar a la gente a través del uso de elementos electrónicos y medios acústicos. Son un proyecto que busca trascender el concepto del DJ para así crear música en vivo para bailar, haciendo uso de la creatividad y las herramientas de nuestra generación, con un sonido nuevo y alegre que se ha venido desenvolviendo a lo largo de varios años de trabajo en las pistas de baile de la Ciudad de México.
THE PLAYGROUND presents Filthy Electro Trash on Saturday 14th Novmber. Come along and celebrate with:

We are finally getting the first issue of our 'zine sorted and have setup a forum to go with it's impending release in December.
Both the 'zine and the forum are for more than just music (although that is a big part of what we're about), we will be covering art, film, books, in fact pretty much anything and everything that is underground or alternative.
Have a look at the forum, sign up, start promoting your projects, band, writing, etc and join in the discussions.
Hey guys, thanks for being our friend and we hope you like our music.
We are currently writing new songs and they are coming along nicely, they are a bit different to what we have up now.
We will keep you updated with everything thats going on with us.
