CARDIEL is a rock band under the influence of stoner, the psy- chedelia and dub. Natives of Valencia, Venezuela, CARDIEL formed in Mexico City in the middle of 2010 by Samantha Ambrosio (drums/vocals) and Miguel Fraino (guitar/vocals). The whole idea when the band started was to make music for skateboarding videos, achieving the combination between the fast and aggressive to a psychedelic dub. The discography of the band consists of 2 EP’s, Sheriff Her- nandez (2011), Preveral en el Coping (2013) and a full-length album titled Local Solo (2014), which have been released com- pletely independent as well as being part of important compila- tion albums like Prueba Esto Vol. 3 released on Mula Terca Records and the Light and Noise Fall/Winter 2013. From its beginnings, CARDIEL has performed live in important venues of the local music scene in Mexico like Multiforo Alicia, Imperial Club, Caradura, Foro 246, and Bahía Bar. During the last years, the band has participated in various festivals such as the Festival Internacional Palafoxiano (2011) in Puebla, and the Monterreal International Longboard Fest (2013 and 2014) in Coahuila, and in many skateparks events across the country. Also, they have shared the stage with several bands including Bad Shit (Jake Phelps/Editor in chief of Thrasher Magazine ́s band) and Trash Talk in the Thrasher Magazine 30-Year Anni- versary party in Mexico City. Furthermore, CARDIEL opened the show for Green Jelly at Pasagüero in Mexico City. They were part of the Piel Concreto Tour (2011) where they visited several cities of Mexico to promote and spread the cul- ture of the skateboarding through the documentary “Piel Con- creto”. Up to this moment, the band has done four international tours, two in the United States (Vato Loco Tour 2010 and Alliga- tor Tour 2012) where they had the opportunity to play in different cities of California, Texas and Florida. In February 2013, they went to Venezuela, and their last and most recent tour was Pura Vida Tour 2013 where they visited Costa Rica and Panama. CARDIEL means indulging yourself, to be persistent and to walk although they dictate that you cannot do it anymore. It is a universal word.
