Sonic Youth
Post-Punk/Experimental/Rock

Lenguas Largas
Punk/Pop/Electro
Tucson, AZ USA

For Fans Of: King Khan, NoBunny, Shark Pants
Another Tucson band, tearin’ it up. If your main staple music is Punk, then Lenguas Largas is for you. If instead you enjoy ambient, experimental, electro pop, well, then Lenguas Largas is for you too.
Check out “No Me Gust La Pepsi” for some [...]
