Austin TV

Austin TV play wearing masks and costumes and almost never speak on stage, leaving the music and the visuals to carry the set. Their debut, La ola que quería ser chica, became a reference point for Mexican instrumental rock, and later records such as Fontanarrosa widened the arrangements. Songs move from delicate interlocking guitar patterns to heavy, distorted climaxes, and keyboards and electronics fill out the quieter stretches. The band went on hiatus for several years before returning to the stage.
