GABITO ROCKS YOUR HEART!

About Me


Photo by Cuauhtemoc Escarcega
Gaby de la O is / was/ will always be a some kind of artist. My biography in Spanish can be consulted here .
Instead of filling this myspace with bands, books, heroes, movies I like, animated gifs and other glittering crap, I have nothing more pleasant to introduce myself with everything I’ve done and what I feel proud of.
So we shall get started…
*MUSIC*
DAGGER Founder and only active original member. Vocals, guitars and bass. Dagger was born in 2004 as an alternative all-girl metal band in Mexico. Cult band for some few, two demos and 1 EP titled “The Mean Machine” (2008). Dagger was recently featured in the Indie-O Music Awards, and several festivals, interviews, books and lots and lots of drama. Listen here!
OCCULTA Co-founder with Las Ultrasónicas’ drummer Jenny Bombo and photographer Daniela Rossell, Occulta was the first all-girl stoner rock band in Mexico. We released a demo recorded by Aldo of Maldita Vecindad in 2006. You can listen to my musical skills at their myspace clicking here .
LOS FERNANDUCCIS Band project created with Pablo Petrova, Jose de la O and “El Jarocho”. Los Fernanduccis is an ongoing project that involves Californian stoner rock and true balls-to-the-wall music. Please visit Fucked Up Cat Records in order to listen to some songs.
LSD Spicy Go-Go duet with Jessica Herreman.
More info soon to come.
TITAN / AUX RAUS I toured with Nuevos Ricos’ Titan (guitar, vocals) on 2005 and lent my voice to Dutch band Aux Raus album same year.

*WRITTEN WORK*
INVASION!
Co-founder and editor with Alejandra Espino of INVASION! Fanzine in 2002. We published 6 limited edition issues and two mini-editions. Influenced by Román Gubern and Umberto Eco’s semiology approach, INVASION! focused on well written texts embracing pop culture subjects such as comics, cult films, science fiction, videogames and literature. Some collaborators who have perfumed our publication include celebrated artists Abraham Cruzvillegas and Daniel Guzmán, photographer Alejandro Voorduin, designers Benjamin Estrada and Maricela García, among others. The fanzine is currently out of print but some say every found edition has reached a considerable price. The “Japanishu” issue is extremely rare to acquire and maybe the most celebrated for geeky fans. We still have very few copies of #666. If you’re interested to have this precious edition in your hands or bathroom magazine rack, feel free to contact me.
Some other written work I’ve published includes articles about art history. Having a BA in Art History, I have easily collaborated with Silabario (AZ newspaper), artte.com, esmas.com, and most recently with R&R magazine in Mexico City. Yes, I’m the author of those album and concert reviews you crave for every month.
