THIS IS NO COMMERCIAL SHIT!!
EL OJO OJETE / THE EVIL EYE
TUTTI FRUTTI 15 Years later By Rogelio Garza
In 1985 an earthquake shook the city of Mexico and the epicentre was in Lindavista neighborhood, at 5130 National Polytechnic Avenue. There in the loft of an innocent restaurant of coal meat and cheese called the Apache 14, was a bar without a name. Because there was not any sign that would indicates its existence and in fact the access was a black hold door that every time it opened up to swallow somebody it squeaked heavily. This bar would become a nursery of subterranean culture, known as The Tutti Frutti (the popular song that gave Little Richard his first gold disk). Something was noticed upon entering that dark place, the society was changing in all forms and it would never be the same again.
PRICE LIST IN THE 80´S In a time when your head was being filled with rock in your language (spanish) and boring nights because there was no where to go, except for the discos and the videobars where the best attractions were the simians chained to the entrance, the Tutti was a rock cave where all entered without concern for physical, mental, or moral condition. This made the small bar an area free to goths, punks, rastafarians, skinheads, dealers, soldiers, fugitives, body modificated and vagabonds; people of all kind that every weekend arrived to listen to records of unknown bands in Mexico. The idea and the service was in the charge of Danny, Brisa and a contingent of freaks looking more like squaters than the production team. Their formula was simple: explosive and hallucinated rock + very cold beers + drinks whose recipes you could only find in witchcraft manuals - impossible people = to dive in a thick, particularly psycho atmosphere, where any thing could happen.
La Terrible, Brigitte, El Biafra and Danny This was where national groups that would soon rise to the fame performed, as Caifanes, Maldita Vecindad, Santa Sabina, Café Tacuba and Bon and Los Enemigos del Silencio, but overall ferocious groups, unaware of the dictatorship of the commercial music, like Masacre 68, Atoxxico, The Ultra 5, Monomen and Bayou Pigs. More than an entertainment alternative, the Tutti was a small liberal corner where information ran into the most interesting marginal moves of the moment. The ideal place for potencial subversives and transgressors.
Party time, Bob and Fernando Seven years later and an endless memory of weird anecdotes to be told, the Tutti was the object of family problems and finally it lived its last nights in 1992, before becoming a mutant concept able to move at the same time in different ways. Like a rolling concept without a physical place to establish it, the Tutti was still open, organizing wild and unforgettable parties with bands such as the Tommyknockers, Hellbillys, and other kinds of celebrations in bars like the LUCC, the Club X, the Ritual del Perro and the Iguana Azul. But also, in this new stage, with his partner´s/journalist´s support Karem Martínez, Danny Wakantanka transferred the Tutti to the radio, with garage emissions in national radio stations as Stereo Joven and WFM. To the fanzines and magazines like Picahielo and Rockamérica. To conferences in universities about underground rock and to the international tattoo and piercing conventions. To television. To the edition of books. And now, fifteen years later, the Tutti is also on the internet.

PRODUCTION L.P.
.. 14 songs form what is for me, one of best discs of garage in direct. It is recorded in Mexico. The sound is excellent. The disc begins with "House of fun" (almost all the songs are of them, of Bob Urh mainly). This song comes preceded from the pertinent presentation of the concert. After this one, grandísima "It's to long way home". Of this face, I would have left in addition with "Fun". Also Jenny and the Rascals make a version of "You told me to lie". This face finalizes with "Rock'n'roll doll". that it is a charge of fuzz and farfisa that can leave you more dry. The expensive B, begins with "She is the girl". They do not lack the versions in the way of "midley" witha "Wild thing / I want you" form "The Troggs" and with "Blues theme/Last ride" of Curb. The disc finalizes with "Ím not like everybody else", a good end, without a doubt. It is a disc highly recommended. It exists in vinyl of several colors. The guilty ones: Bob Urh, Ariane Root, Tara Mcmunn y Ken Anderson www.ipunk.com
