Maquina. A three piece from Lisbon Portugal. They remind me of some very good times.

Hello fellow olds.

I recently discovered Maquina, a three-piece from Lisbon on KEXP. Went to their show here in Barcelona and met them beforehand for photos. Now I'm obsessed and thought I would share because so much of their music, while still sounding fresh, has so many classic 80s/90s vibes. Sonic Youth guitar effects, Peter Hook bass lines and... HAIR. So much hair. Krautrock meets dance meets heavy riffs.

But best of all is the DGAF energy. The show was incredible. Small club, barely any merch... no entourage. I felt 21 again. Then my knees started to hurt as it was way past my bedtime.

This may not be your jam. But if it is, I hope you dig it.

The kids are alright.

This video has their former bass player Tomás.
