"I was born and raised in Laredo," emails the group's Grammy-winning sonic architect Beto Martinez."I grew up in pretty much a constant scorcher. Laredo always seemed way hotter than anywhere else in Texas. Once as a kid, totally obsessed with break dancing and the breaking movies, I went outside in a hoodie in the middle of summer and tried to break-dance on the corner with a boombox.
Warmup acts here certainly raise temps: Dallas, Texan Jason Bobadilla's Latinx remix of trad Mexican revelry in Ariel & the Culture and San Antonian-by-way-of-Laredo masked alt-rapper Vermin the Villain. If her step-in set at this spring's Two Step Inn is any indication, Kathryn Legendre's ready to launch from local honky-tonks to bigger stages.
