MESA COSA "INFERNAL CAKEWALK" CD

'Mesa Cosa are proud to be releasing their much lauded 'Infernal Cakewak' record via Off The Hip Records.

Recorded in their dingy Brunswick living room by Nao Anzai (Rat vs. Possum/Nunchukka Superfly) and packaged in a lush sleeve designed by CM Ruiz (Dead Ghosts, Davila 666, Tacocat). The Infernal Cakewalk EP captures Mesa Cosa’s “the Stooges walk into a Tequila bar” live attitude in a “hey, we put out a record!” kind of way.

With three additional tracks plus re-mastering by Mikey Young this is the definitive version of one of this years most raucous standout releases. 'A formidable debut' said Beat magazine. The Infernal Cakewalk EP offers ten of Mesa Cosa’s enigmatic fist-pumping garage songs from their huge ouvre. Featuring the sing-a-long garage anthemShoplifter, noise punk orgy Los Perros (The Dogs) and the 6(66) minute opus of fuzz, demonic chants and free saxophone bedlam boogie Diablo.

Mesa Cosa are a six piece from everywhere between Mexico City and Melbourne, Australia, that play an aggressive blend of noisy punk, garage rock and Mexican folk tunes. Led by a diminutive chilango from Mexico City, singing in both Spanish and English, Mesa Cosa mix their un-dying love of Mexican celebrations and dark symbols with their un-ashamed love for garage music and experimental noise.Mesa Cosa (only) play fun, energetic shows filled with dancing, mayhem, things breaking, people fall- ing down, glasses smashing, amps failing and tambourine sacrifices to the party gods.

Having the honor of playing with some of Melbournes most amazing bands in Melbournes most ritualized venues. Mesa Cosa have earned a cult following second only to Allah and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Soon to be playing with some of the best bands the US and Japan have to offer, this is a band to watch and this is a record to quickly add to your collection.

"Every thousand years or so, the Devil throws a party, as you well know, I'm never invited. But I hear this time around Mesa Cosa played. and. they. destroyed. EVERYTHING! Then.. every body got laid."

-God
