Los Maricas

About

Los Maricas detonate a Molotov cocktail of punk fury and glam rock swagger, spitting out visceral anthems of queer rage and liberation. Hailing from Madrid, the duo—comprising the enigmatic Domi and Álex—inject a healthy dose of irony and camp into their sonic blitzkrieg. Think The Stooges crash-landing in a John Waters film, fueled by cheap wine and righteous indignation. Their sound, a raw blend of garage punk, proto-punk, and a dash of early industrial noise, is a direct assault on complacency, both within and outside the LGBTQ+ community. Since their formation, Los Maricas have carved out a reputation for explosive live shows and uncompromising lyrics that tackle themes of social injustice, homophobia, and the absurdity of modern life. While their discography includes blistering EPs and singles, their live performances are where their energy truly ignites. They've toured extensively throughout Spain and Europe, leaving a trail of ecstatic fans and bewildered security guards in their wake. Their recent work continues to refine their sound, incorporating more nuanced arrangements without sacrificing the raw, untamed spirit that defines them. Los Maricas aren't just a band; they're a statement.
