Rockinvasion!

"I'm so happy American labels are starting to invest in Latin rock, because I find it more interesting right now than anything going on in American rock," says Kike Posada. "Forget the language. It is a rich, healthy music, coming from so many sources. There is rock being made all over this world -- it's a universal thing, the music of the Twentieth Century. What about French rock, German rock, Italian and Japanese rock. Why think about where it's made?"

Rockinvasion! takes place tonight, July 3, at the James L. Knight Center, 400 SE 2nd Ave, 372-0920, featuring Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Maldita Vecindad y los Hijos del Quinto Patio, Aterciopelados, La Union, and Pepe Alva y Alma Raymi. Showtime is 7:00 p.m. Tickets cost $40.
