Along with the summer atmosphere, such as allergies, there are music festivals, such as Rock, the other Fest, or any other Sound, there is no city, no association, no territory that does not organize such a festival. And the patateros, of course, will be no less. The Azkena Rock is there, OK, but everybody in the house is going to take any notice, right? This is how the Hala Bedi Rock festival emerged 9 years ago; and well, to give support to Hala Bedi Irratia.

Throughout these years, several groups have passed through the Gaztetxe of Vitoria-Gasteiz, and has not repeated any; a sign of the quarry's existence. Six groups, all of them Gasteiztarras, got back on the stage. Some still don't have a disk in their hands. Some gave as many concerts as one hand can count on and others had no more audience than the crew. A good option to take the pulse to what is called “scene”, to know what is at the premises.

By 18:00, on time, the Ziklone was onstage. Ziklone is a trio – quartet in a couple of songs – that runs through the rhythms and guitars riffs of the Bidasoa. Although some members of the group have already been experienced before – Kashbad, Trumbo – faced the performance with the illusion of beginners, and they did so very elegantly. We will follow them closely.

The second, an hour later, Begitruk brought the first punk rhythms, namely the punk of the Salvatierra area. They were eager for almost an hour alternating Euskera and Castilian, and they played some version – I live in that sleek Basque Country Pharaons car.

Then, and almost without breathing, it was Karma Xutra who took the witness. These also made it clear that punk was going to be the soundtrack of the night. More aggressive than the previous ones and with a more careful aesthetic, I was the ones that got the least attention at the festival, so I couldn't say much more. There can be nothing, I can assure you.

It was 21:00 – punctuality was rigorously taken care of – when they were among the youngest on the table. Red Iron Squad, for the time being, has only one published job, which is that they make a hard rock, with dyes from the South of the United States, with saxo. I saw them strong, wanting and attitude. Watch closely.

And the last trumpet came back. We will start with D-tox followed by Exkizophrenikos. The former have about three albums on the street and have played on several tables; the latter, which have not passed from the age of 18, are the oldest. Veterans make a strong punk rock, young people took us to the 1980s. He felt the experience, the technique, the patience and the bravery of others, the DIY philosophy and the nervousness. Despite that, on both occasions, the hearing, which was already warm, enjoyed the last beers until midnight, as it can not be played at the Gaztetxe in Vitoria-Gasteiz from midnight onwards. Yes, dance while they don't bother neighbors.
