Mexico-based band COSMOPOLiTAN ends 2012 with their music video for “Just Give Me Bichola” in MTV’s popular video hits list Raizonica. “Give Me Bichola” was filmed at The Conga Room in Los Angeles and was successfully widespread throughout Mexico and South America upon release. This year COSMOPOLiTAN has already been considered for the Indie Music Awards because of their punk, rock and psychedelic influence. Their music is now being distributed throughout America and Europe, and is also available on iTunes Japan through SourPop Records.

COSMOPOLiTAN is an electro-rock trio from Hermosillo, Sonora. They are known for wearing a mask and sunglasses to hide their identity.This way people will focus more on what the music is about rather than on who the musicians are. Their EP Machine, produced by Diego Solozano, was released through SourPop Records in 2011. EP Machine features popular hits “Hands Stereo Disco” and “Miss HTML.” In 2012, COSMOPOLiTAN was part of SourPop Records’ Las 12 Primaveras, an album containing new musical proposals from rock, punk, funk bands and more. COSMOPOLiTAN has performed all over the world and the U.S., including South By Southwest in 2009, gaining new fans and opening new doors.

Their identity is irrelevant while music is the main focus for COSMOPOLiTAN, a trio in matching outfits who hides behind sunglasses and facemasks. The band has been spreading their electro-rock beats from Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico to the U.S., to Japan and they have even earned first place on Puerto Rico’s list of Top 10 en Radio Indi. COSMOPOLiTAN is composed of Edgar Lizárraga, Ramiro Iglesias and Abraham Bustamante or better known as their alter ego’s Mr. Vox, Mr. Lee and Mr. Doc, respectively, who can start a dance party with their energetic beats full of industrial sounds, rock and electro-punk.

Though the trio conceals their identity from their fans, they sure don’t hold anything else back in their music. The band is simply straightforward and the song “Just Give Me Bichola” off their EP Machine proves it. Besides the raunchy track name, the band recently released a music video that shows exactly what they mean. Partly shot at the Conga Room in Los Angeles and directed by Jordi Ortega, the trio transforms a boring accountant into a womanizer after an electrifying and intoxicating night out with them.
