Eight Gigs: Penny Pacheco y Los Cora
Fri., Oct. 7, 8 p.m., Cafe Colonial, $10
Mexico-based Penny Pacheco y Los Cora’s Facebook bio makes the assertion that “Girls invented punk rock, not England.” With a mixture of punk-rock chants and garage-rock riffs, it certainly does encapsulate the spirit of the genre. Frontwoman Penny Pacheco has a high-energy stage presence; she struts all over the stage, gesturing wildly and stretching her eyes wide open into an intense stare. There is a slight dramatic and kooky flair to the band (for instance, most songs include a singing saw and a theremin) with rambunctious, staccato-infused yelps and grumblings. 3520 Stockton Boulevard, www.pennypacheco.com.
