The original and popular Mexican band, Mexrissey, will be performing in the UK (Glasgow, Brighton, Manchester, London, and Birmingham), as part of their international tour to promote their new album “No Manchester”. Morrissey (The Smiths) has always been a prophet with honour in Mexico. His songs of love, loss and longing, with powerful imagery and metaphors, have found a huge audience in our country. |

Now the love has returned, with a band from Mexico City reinventing Morrissey’s and The Smiths’ songs. Camilo Lara, the force inside Mexican Institute of Sound, has put together in Mexrrissey, a team of musical gunslingers from Mexico’s finest bands. The band has had an incredible journey since 2015 with a sold out mainstage debut at the Barbican in The La Linea Festival in London, a UK tour (including a moving sold out Manchester gig) and a triumphant show at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) in New York and The Regent in Los Angeles. The band’s debut album, “No Manchester”, released in March 2016, was recorded in Mexico City and Tucson, Arizona. The album was produced by Camilo Lara and mixed by Jack Lahana, winner of multiple Grammys for his work with Phoenix and Daft Punk. “No Manchester” is a Mexican slang phrase meaning “No Way” or “Are you kidding me?” but more than that, it means that these songs, born in Manchester, have grown up, changed their hair and clothes, and are now living in Mexico under a new identity.
