Chikita Violenta

Chikita Violenta is an indie rock band from Mexico City known for blending melodic guitar pop with lo-fi textures and an energetic sound that's influenced by classic college rock and shoegaze. They gained international attention with their third album, TRE3S, released in 2011 and produced by Dave Newfeld, best known for his work with Broken Social Scene. The band's association with the Canadian indie rock scene helped shape their sonic identity, blending catchy hooks with layered, atmospheric instrumentation.

Chikita Violenta’s music often carries a mix of English lyrics and a warm, fuzzed-out production style that draws comparisons to bands like Pavement and The Shins. With releases like Colapsomanía and its follow-up remixes, the band continues to evolve their sound while maintaining the heartfelt and raw sensibility that first won over fans. They're a standout example of Mexico's vibrant indie music scene making waves beyond its borders.
