Berri Txarrak Farewell Tour
Attention Basque Rock Fans! One of the Basque Country's premiere Basque Rock bands - Berri Txarrak - will be in the U.S. later in May on their farewell tour, “2019 Ikusi Arte”.

Their sound can be described as a combination of punk, metal, fuzz with a bit of indie rock influence creating good, catchy melodies, with well-crafted smart lyrics. They first played in the U.S. in 2005, in San Francisco, Reno and Boise as part of a NABO Cultural Tour event and have come back to perform in California and the greater United States on several occasions.
