Hola Amiguitos y Fans,

Thanks to your votes and support, Contramano won the Myspace Latino
Get Your Band Sponsored in New York City.

You gave us your votes and we got to be in the top 4 bands along with
Sevet, Boom Box Repair Kit and Tato Torres and Yerba Buena.
Myspace Latino decided that Contramano was the winner, something that
we honestly didn't expect since we saw such much talent that night.
But, we take it, and we are honored and thankful for such achievement.

Muchas Gracias to each of you that spent time voting and believing in us.

Thanks also to Aubrey and Tanya from Myspace Latino for helping the
Rock en Español scene to grow.

Congratulations to the winners in the other cities, Afrobeta, Los
Hollywood, La
conquista y Ceci Bastida.

Also, save the date for our Argentina night at Joe's Pub on July 23
along with Coral and UlisesPal.

FINALLY, FINALLY!!!
Our EPK is here.

After 2 years of being a member of Sonicbids, we decided to finish our EPK.
For a long time we refused to do it since we though that EPKs are kind of cheesy… but, well, we needed one.
While making it, we realized how many things we've done. It seems that 10 minutes is not enough time to show it all.
We thought that we didn't have enough material, but now we can say that we are very proud of all we've done so far.
And there'll be more to come.

The trip to LA is being postponed till the end of March due to studio lease problems. We'll be announcing soon the details.

Love to all for the support and we hope to see you soon
