Miguel Aviña: “We were opening for the Spanish singer Bebe. We arrived for load-in and started setting up. Bebe’s manager came to us and told us that their backline had not arrived and that we could literally save the show if we let them use our gear. Of course we agreed. At the time we didn’t have the best gear, but we made it work. We had to make some calls to find the extra gear they asked for, which included percussion and turntables.

“We made it back to the venue just in time for Bebe to do a quick soundcheck before doors. The show went off without a hitch. Bebe and her entourage thanked us by inviting us to their after-party, a night out on the town, after-hours clubs — the works. They showed us how to party like rock stars. Downright one of the wildest and most memorable nights we have ever experienced as a band.”
