Meat Locker at NRMAL Festival in Monterrey for Savvy

NRMAL was founded in 2008 by Pablo Martínez and Lucas Cantú; conceived as an insurrection against stagnant booking practices that heavily favored regional music and (typically male) rock en español stalwarts. The two used Monterrey’s proximity to the U.S. border to tap the stream of international talent regularly pouring into Austin, Texas for its annual South By Southwest festival; and subsequently launched their own event in March 2010, hosted at the city’s French Alliance and boasting Anglophone indie acts like Yacht, Nite Jewel and The Death Set.
