In concert news: Mexican rock band Molotov will be playing in San Antonio on Wednesday December 6, 2023 at The Espee (1174 E Commerce St. San Antonio, TX).
After more than three decades rocking stages worldwide, iconic alt-rock innovators, Molotov has earned the reputation as the most powerful band in Mexico, and international recognition as one of the pillars of rock-en-español. The band, who recently changed management teams and was nominated for Best Rock Album at the Latin Grammy’s ‘23, will be playing at San Antonio’s The Espee on December 6. Tickets are available HERE. The band is working on new music and a massive global tour for ’24. (CSW Publicity, 2023)
Founded in Mexico City in 1995, Molotov has built a career on striking at the heart of the corrupt political establishment and the ruling classes with, what the media have called, “poison-dart lyrics” and a unique sound that combines a potent mix of punk, rap, hip-hop, post-grunge alternative rock, and traditional Mexican music. Composed of multi-instrumentalist musicians Ismael “Tito” Fuentes de Garay, Miguel Ángel “Miky” Huidobro Preciado, Juan Francisco “Paco” Ayala González, and Randy Ebright, Molotov’s hard-hitting lyrics, sung by all four band members, resonate with millions of fans throughout the Americas and the world. Their singular, insurgent, biting, and powerful style has marked a before and after in the international alt-rock scene, catapulting Molotov to the top of the record charts in Latin America, Spain, and the US.
Molotov is a rock-en-español powerhouse: from playing to 55000 fans at Foro Sol earlier this year to sold-out shows throughout the Americas and Europe, the band continues marking a definitive presence in pop-culture. Their hit-single “Apocalypshit” served as soundtrack for the seminal scene of the pilot of the hit TV-series Breaking Bad and in 2023, the band released their newest studio album, Solo Delira and followed-up with an extensive tour which once again has kept Molotov at the forefront of alternative Latin music.
