“Freakout was the first American festival to open its doors, not only to us but also to a lot of other Latin American bands that otherwise would not have the opportunity to play for an American audience…They also gave us the means and opportunities to make our participation in the festival an incredible experience without it becoming a huge expense for our band to be able to go play in another country.

We love Freakout because it nurtures the music industry by creating exposure opportunities for new and diverse bands and by supporting smaller venues, whose existence has been in jeopardy since the pandemic, and without which, it would be impossible to find a stage for new artists.”

“Freakout was our first experience in the Seattle music community. Coming from Mexico it was very important for us and it was perfect.

We felt welcomed, they gave us a very good schedule and everybody came to see us. It’s always exciting to see who’s playing next because they always bring outstanding talents from outside and the best local bands. It’s like SXSW but in Seattle.”
