Good Dominican Rock/Alt music site or blog?

[rortiz79]

Hey everyone I am looking for a good source of finding out the latest bands that are coming from DR. Being in NJ/NYC I tend to get out of the loop once in a while.

Try the pages for "Rock Dominicano" or "anivelde.com" on Facebook. Both have really good info on upcoming gigs, Dominican bands and what they're up to.

My friend just told me about anivelde.com, looks pretty cool. I'm guessing their facebook is updated more than their site then?

Hi,

Those of you wanting to find out more about Dominican rock should really watch this 15 min short documentary which looks at the history of rock in The Dominican Republic.

Hope you like it!

YouTube - Dominican Rock: A Documentary (part I)

YouTube - Dominican Rock: A Documentary (part II)

Peace.

Yes Folks the Dominican rock scene is growing IN DR. I did watch the two you tube documentaries... That was cool. I think the rock scenes evolove mainly around Santo Domingo Santiago and La Vega.. With the last two cities being more pop rock/alternative... IN santo you can find more extreme stuff like black metal bands letheaus,amon,exsangunry throne,halcedama and others. Also in the capital a bunch of hardcore bands. Then you got your emo junk too. Even a punk record company I think two chung ho records and one other one,,Hope this new info helps,,Rockero....

where can you catch good (indie/alt rock) shows in santo domingo?

I think you can also check messengermag.com, damerock.com, uepa.com should have listings for shows. I'm sure 95% of bands have a myspace page, just do a search, and follow the links, most bands are friends with each other. If you want to see a show check cinema cafe. http://www.cinemacafe.com or quintana bar in the zona (its kinda small) and ocho puertas - i think it might go by la espiral now.
