State your name what bands do you play for???
-My name is Cesar and I play drums & vox in Malandro, Fuming and xCAPSULExCORPx
How are you doing???
-Hanging in there man! Finishing school and trying to write some new stuff.
How did you get into punk??
-I grew up listening to lots of Thrash from my dad and New Wave because of my mom, but I knew I wanted something else, but I didn’t know what it was. When I was in 6th grade, my old neighbor Alex (who lived in the same street as me when I lived in Mexicali) introduced me to things like Black Flag, Youth of Today and some Charles Bronson. He introduced me to the rawness of punk that I was missing in my childhood.
How did Fuming start as a band???
-It’s a long story from my part hahaha. Fuming started back in early 2019. I moved to Sac from San Diego the summer of 2018 to go to school. The first weekend that I had in a new city, I decided to look on Facebook to find some fast music around the bay. The first thing that popped up was a show in Sac that Savage was playing. I was so stoked, but what got my attention was Juan’s old band HugoxSanchez(rip), which Juan played bass for. The tone that he had in his bass was just as noisy as Godstomper and I knew right there I wanted to make a band with him. I introduced myself that day and told him how sick his band was. We talked every show that he threw but wouldn’t say we were friends yet. By the beginning of the year, our homie Jake(Dopemess) saw me playing blast on an Instagram live that I did and he’s pretty much why Fuming started.
What's the line up???
-Fuming is in a Hiatus or broken up? I’m not sure, but the lineup consists of:
Juan: Bass & Vox
Duncan: Bass (Previously guitar and at one-point vox)
Me: Drums & Vox
How did you guys get the name from???
-I got the name from a Punch song named “Fuming” which talks about pollution. I thought it was ideal and also because of the consumption of dabs hahahahaha
what are you guys influences?
-Personally, I have too many. Some that I can think of right away are No Comply, Agents of Satan, Godstomper, Punch, Despise You, MPG, Horrible Pain, Plutocracy, Obacha, Sordo, No Comment, Crossed Out, Chalino Sanchez and many more
then you started MALANDRO??
-Malandro was a band on the works for the longest time, while playing in Fuming, that Juan and I had planned, but never really happened until now.
How did that band get started??
- The pandemic made it happen. We always wanted to do a Drum & Bass band that was fully Mexican minority and all lyrics in Spanish. We wanted to talk about our experiences that both of us have seen in Mexico like drug cartels, the classism, and corruption which I think it’s our biggest inspiration. We also wanted to write about how we both moved to the US and how similar our experience was, but different at the same time.
did you grow up listening to Paquita,Yonics?
-I sure did! My grandparents are obsessed with Paquita. How can you not be obsessed with her when she’s talking how much she despise men who have hurt her in the past. Los Yonics was definitely a band that was in repeat by my family. Same with Los Tigres del Norte since they lived a few blocks away from my house in Mexico and my mom went to school with one of the youngest ones from the band.
what's the line up???
-Juan: Bass/vox
-Me: Drums/Vox
its really dope
-Thanks man! We just do what we like and hang out hahaha.
cool was there any awesome shows you played or tour??
-Malandro has never played a show since it started during the pandemic and Fuming was supposed to tour, but the pandemic cancelled it. I have played in the same show with many fucking bands I fucking love and with homies I have made through them. I think I have played two that have stand out which are the time Fuming played a battle set against Human Obliteration at a warehouse that our homie Bob threw for his birthday. There was a mini ramp that I skated all day and missed all the bands and drank for free hahaha. The other one was the battle set between Heckdorlan and Family Vacation at Corehouse. Heckdorlan asked if I could do vocals for them that day. That shit was tight and made friends with Family Vacation which is a band I truly admire.
Any releases coming out ??
-We have a tape of the demo coming out soon and maybe some splits in the future.
Any shoutout you want to give??
-My homie Derrick(rip) who played in a band called Swine//Overthrow. I owe him my life and he’s the reason I still play drums. Hector(rip)(HugoxSanchez), Yasmeen(my partner for being supportive), El Crusty Cristo homies, Charlie and Annie, Sick Burn, The Colony, Zest Bay, West Bay Koalition, Godstomper, Haggus, Crudo, Julian(buddy), Grandpa(Morgan), Danni and Natalia, Eddie and Areli, Dopemess, Heckdorlan, Temptation 87, World Peace, Livid, Family Vacation, all the homies and the scene in Mexicali, NoxWorries, Stockton, Raymond, Fernando, Carl, Christian and everyone in HKFY, Corehouse, Bolton and Jacoby, Che Café, all the bands I have met and play with, and all the people who have supported El Crusty through the time. I’m probably missing some, but you know who you are.
