Today, it is difficult to find places, where you can listen to good music, or see the performance of bands that have much more to play than the normal rock n roll, which pleased everyone. If you see it in a sharp way, many people opt for the rock proposals, just as an additional way of entertainment and dancing. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with it, but rock n roll also has the gift of being experimental, risky and unconventional. Madrid has been traditionally a rocker city.

The groove scene showed so thirty years ago, and its great influence on the rock that later came, not only in Spain but also in Latin America. The history and the emergence of the Madrilenian groove scene, is very different from what is happening today in Spain in terms of rock. Back then, it was a context of dictatorship and the emergence of a herd of young punks, who sought to conquer the world. Today, the rock in Spain seems to be a sort of rest or dormancy, conquered by the frequencies of “indie” and “modern” still waiting, like so many corners of the world, that rock comes back to save us.

In Madrid there are many spaces for rock n roll today. There are bars, clubs and some discos, where you can listen to the best of classic garage rock. However, other trends such as the space rock and krautrock, are somehow limited. There is no city today, where the psych rock is really what dominates the public and rocker style: there is no “Space Rock Heaven”, at least not yet. Nevertheless, don’t let stop you in your search for new spaces for experimental music.

Thus, a space like La Boite has been presenting some of the most important bands of the psychedelic and experimental rock in recent years. Concert bands like: Mugstar, Acid Mothers Temple, Silver Apples, Bardo Pond, Guitar Wolf, among others, prove it. Despite all the abundance of sounds currently available on the Internet, the psychedelic rock remains as one of the last bastions of experimentation to which popular culture can still access.

Besides being a concert space, La Boite after midnight becomes one of the hottest places to dance and get lost in frenetic rhythms all night. La Boite has become one of the favorite spots for the international LGBT community in Madrid. In La Boite you hear the best sounds of the 80′s and 90′s, as well as the most amazing techno that will make you feel as jumping until dawn.
