It was a welcome home fiesta for Manic Hispanic on Sunday night at Alex's Bar in Long Beach, as they returned from the Western leg of their US tour and played a tight set of punk rock classics for a full house of their SoCal homies. The pit was utter chaos with bodies and liquids being tossed around like it was 1977 all over again. Los Mysteriosos, with Alex's Bar's namesake on bass, served up some of their own brand of Mariachi-Punk as a side platter after Orange County's The Crime opened the festivities.
