The incisive indie band will open the curtain at the Alcalá de Henares / Community of Madrid film festival on November 7 at the Teatro Salón Cervantes with a musical and visual show that celebrates their passion for the seventh art
The indie band Los Punsetes, which celebrates its two decades of experience in 2024, will open the 53rd edition of ALCINE, the Alcalá de Henares / Community of Madrid film festival, on November 7. He will do so with a musical and visual spectacle that reveals his cinephilia, reflected in many of his songs. It will be from 8:30 p.m. at the Teatro Salón Cervantes in Alcalá de Henares.
Cronenberg, Kubrick, Malick, Bresson, Godard or the pataphysics of Fernando Arrabal will mix with the songs of Los Punsetes live with a special projection designed by the band itself to create a unique multisensory experience. A special film format that the acerbic band from Madrid has offered on only one occasion so far, last summer, at Matadero Madrid. It is also their last concert until April 2025, when they will begin their 20th Anniversary Tour.
Formed in 2004, the indie group has completed two decades of experience as a proud representative of Spanish independent rock. Hymns such as 'A suspicious person', 'Opinion of shit' or the most recent 'Madrid attacks me' have helped consolidate a career in which they have known how to move skillfully along the thin line that separates irony, provocation and honesty. brutal. Los Punsetes combine all this with a performative staging in which the charisma of their singer, Ariadna, and the rest of the band always shines.
Tickets for ALCINE's inaugural concert are now on sale on the Culturalcalá website, at prices ranging from €6 to €16.
