Concert Review: Mujeres Podridas, August 6, Toronto Style

Posted on

Immediately after Mujeres Podridas had finished their set at Toronto Style on Sunday night, it was no surprise that the crowd started calling out for an encore. For a moment though, it appeared that they might be done for the evening as they began to put down their instruments. Happily, the band relented and did in fact opt for an encore, but not before someone in the crowd shouted out, “You assholes!”

A weird choice if you’re trying to entice a band to stick around a little longer, but luckily that didn’t deter the band from playing a couple more tunes to end out the evening. However, right before they started up again, guitarist Dexter Garza did pause to ask one of his bandmates for clarification.

“Did they just call us assholes?”

“Who’s the asshole now?” came the reply.

And with that, the band launched into their encore, a finale that matched the energy of the crowd (I spotted at least one person doing a cartwheel in the pit) and closed out a fun, high energy set of hard and fast punk tunes from the Austinites, who, I might add, do not appear in any way to be assholes.

Not bad for a Sunday night.

Check out the video below for “OVNI,” taken off Mujere Podridas’ 2020 full length Muerte en Paraíso.
