Canseco

I was just reading that a rock band I have really enjoyed listening to for quite some years now is no longer together anymore.

Canseco, which I picked up somewhere on the internet, was an indie rock band from Mexico. And although I'm just hearing of their breakup, the band broke up some months ago.

Canseco was a four-piece band and they were very good too. I remember when I first heard their album "El Tiempo Y La Ciudad" I was very surprised by its quality and musical textures - it was very modern, fresh and exciting! Their sound was very much like the music being played on alternative rock stations all over California than and now. They were pretty successful too. Canseco even played along side American rock band Nada Surf in Mexico City.

As part of their goodbye, Canseco is giving away free copies of their first album and EP as downloads off their website. I think it's a really nice parting gift!
