Dirty Karma

Dirty Karma was an indie rock band from Mexico City, Mexico. Performing in Spanish and English, they were active from 2005 to 2011. In 2005, the band was formed by lead singer and guitarist Mauricio "Mau" García, drummer Hugo Barreto, bassist Gerardo Gabilondo, and guitarist Rodrigo Blanco. In 2008, they recorded a self-titled, 5-song EP in TOPETITUD Studios that was mastered by Chris Geringer. Considered blues and psychedelic rock, their influences included Devendra Banhart's "Inaniel", Mescalito, Aliados, and The Mars Volta's "Wax Simulacra". In 2009, the band were invited to the Vive Latino festival, an annual rock music festival held in Mexico City. They played in the blue section with Mongol Gol Gol, Enjambre, Monocordio, and Ximena Sariñana. During the year's activism for higher education reform, they also played at the "Rock por la Educación" festival, held by the Alianza Joven por la Democracia Participativa A.C., alongside other small bands. In 2010, Gerardo Gabilondo left Dirty Karma to join The Y's. The same year, Dirty Karma released their debut album Four Elephants, recorded in Tornillo, Texas at Sonic Ranch Studios.
