who would’ve thought accordion could be so freeking cool? San Anto’s own Pinata Protest & singer Alvaro Salas (you can also catch him protesting T. Don Hutto on many occasions, even more than me, sadly) rock punk like no one’s business with an onslaught of solo accordion stylings set to hi-jinxed punk riffs.
Pinata Protest does classic punk well by double-timing old standards like La Cuckracha (that’s right), but add an accordion to the mix & all hell breaks lose as fans fight for the chance to jump on stage and push & bend that accordion every which way….
Salas is the nicest guy ever (you can usually find him hanging at Bar America, where Lone Star is always $1, so buy him a couple rounds) & when you start talking to him about old-school accordion music, you might just be surprised at how knowledgeable he is for such a young hipster. very cool indeed. so without further ado:
