Alcalá Norte brought their full six-piece presence to Bilbao’s Iglesia de la Encarnación for a Live on KEXP session recorded in partnership with BIME, and the setting couldn’t be more fitting. The Spanish outfit moved through five tracks including “La Sangre del Pobre,” “420N,” “La Calle Elfo,” “Westminster,” and “La Vida Cañón,” with Álvaro Rivas on vocals, Jaime Barbosa on drums, Carlos Elías and René del Hoyo on guitars, Pablo Prieto on bass, and Laura de Diego on keys delivering a performance that showcases exactly why this band commands attention. Intimate, precise, and loaded with atmosphere, it’s the kind of session KEXP does better than anyone.
