Plus they're funny as shit, if you know Spanish, and even if you don't.

2. Some of their song titles: "La Petisita Culona" ("the hot little woman with the huge ass"), "Coger No Es Amor" ("to fuck is not to love", because the former is much better than the latter), "Shit Shit Money Money," "Porno Star."

Ditto El Grand Silencio.
Incidentally, do you think I'd like Los Aterciopelados?

Said ruff/rowdy stuff on the earlier albums before the mighty fine Gozo is quite good, methinks.

Any idea whether this favours their pretty/poppy side or their ruff/rowdy side?
It should probably go without saying that I'd prefer the latter!
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find a tracklist, so that isn't really a lot of help, is it?

*they remind me a helluva lot of peak-era Fishbone, what with that whole so-many-crazy-ideas-yet-somehow-it-all-works thing they got
*they do something which seems very rare to me as far as rock bands go: they manage to be humorous but not come off as boobs - they deftly balance between the roffle, the topical, and the emotional
*I could imagine them putting on one of the greatest live shows I would ever witness in my span of time on this Earth

here's a nice picture of Bersuit but it's not necessarily work-safe due to stuffed pantshttp://www.bsasinsomnio.com.ar/imagenes/bersuit/bersuit1.jpg

BTW, "seƱor cobranza" is, indeed, a cover version of "las manos de filippi", another trad-rebel-rock outfit, although with more street cred and less class-contradictions.

interesting that Cordera's overexposure is an impediment to you not liking his group's music. also interesting that you spell his name differently. is that an in-joke en espanol?
fortunately, I live in N.America so that stuff doesn't bother me one bit. I love this band, and they keep hitting #1 on the Argentine charts so apparently some of your countrymen do too.
what is the hip music down there for people who dislike Bersuit? I'm curious!
