Most of you are too young to remember some programs from the disco era, especially those from European channels, where, thanks to what was then the "new technology", The videos were edited by some color abusers, who printed each scene of the product with a catastrophic tendency.

Many years later, a band originally from Beccar (Buenos Aires), called Chinese Bandits, presents his first clip, I was never there y He uses this aesthetic of exaggeration to tell the story of a pair of thieves. They drive through the streets of the Argentine capital, seeking to satisfy their need for excitement and violence. Bandalos' music, close to electropop, combines interestingly with the graphic design, managing to recover old textures for new dramatic nightmares. It may be time to celebrate visual abuse.
