Retired Punk's Neon Resurrection
In a bizarre cultural mutation that would make any cultural anthropologist sweat with excitement, the frontman of Caribbean fusion outfit Babandí is preparing to unleash his dormant alter ego 'Gallo' – a supposedly 'retired' Caribbean punk persona that's about to stage a comeback with square-eyed flair. The local Jupiter Bar will serve as the laboratory for this strange experiment, with Thursday's free-admission 'Planetarium' event promising to be a perfect petri dish for musical mayhem.
Square-Eyed Transformation
The most twisted aspect of this impending performance isn't just the resurrection of a dormant punk character – it's the infection of said character with what the musician describes as a "nounish style." The announcement comes dripping with cryptic enthusiasm: "I will be giving away stickers of the character and playing for the first time with my nOGs." These 'nOGs' – the blocky, square spectacles that transform ordinary humans into cartoon-like entities – represent the final metamorphosis in this cultural mutation.
Extraterrestrial Encounter
There's a certain cosmic madness to the venue choice – a place called Jupiter Bar hosting an event dubbed 'Planetarium' with the tagline "encuentro de mundos sonoros" (encounter of sound worlds). This isn't just a musical performance; it's an interplanetary collision scheduled for precisely 7:07 PM, where sonic dimensions will fold into each other under the watchful gaze of square-eyed observers.
The psychedelic promotional flyer for the 'Planetarium' event features an orange cosmic orb floating against an electric blue background, each element framed by a peach-colored border that gives the whole affair the appearance of some mystical portal. It promises not just music but an 'encuentro de mundos sonoros' – an encounter of sound worlds – as if Jupiter Bar will temporarily become a wormhole connecting multiple sonic dimensions.
The strangest incantation in the announcement sounds like a religious benediction for cartoon eyeball deities: "May the nounish spirit be with you 🫠💚♻️." What does this nounish spirit entail? Is it a contagion? A blessing? A curse? By Thursday night, the walls of Jupiter Bar will know.
As the Caribbean fusion veteran's psyche splits into multiple personas – musician, promoter, retired punk, and square-eyed evangelist – one has to wonder what strange sounds will emerge from this fragmented consciousness. What exotic cacophony awaits those brave enough to attend this free cosmic encounter? And what sort of character stickers will be distributed to the unsuspecting masses? By Friday morning, a new batch of square-eyed devotees may be walking the streets, their vision permanently altered by their encounter with 'Gallo' and his nOGs.
Post-Mortem of Square-Eyed Mayhem
We now have photographic evidence of the bizarre cosmic collision that occurred at Jupiter Bar. The images show what appears to be the successful transmutation of Caribbean fusion musicians into square-eyed evangelists through the ritualistic donning of blocky red spectacles. The frontman—presumably the 'Gallo' character in his full nounish manifestation—stands center stage clutching an acoustic guitar, flanked by his similarly transformed bandmates. One sports the enormous crimson pixel-frames while gripping a microphone, another wielding a bass guitar with a technicolor strap that seems almost psychedelically appropriate for the occasion.
The scene unfolded against an exposed brick archway bathed in pink light, with a keyboard on a stand and television displaying colorful graphics creating a properly deranged backdrop for this musical alchemy. As the performance concluded, the band documented their metamorphosis with photographic evidence captioned: "With this photo we said goodbye to Babandí's music presentation 💚♻️🤘a very nounish night where everyone enjoyed!"
This savage experiment in cultural fusion appears to have been successfully completed, with multiple attendees captured in the visual evidence. The ritual seems to have extended beyond the stage, as several audience members were also spotted wearing the distinctive square eyewear, suggesting the nounish contagion successfully spread beyond the performers themselves.
Audience Contamination Complete
The numbers are in, and the bizarre cultural experiment at Jupiter Bar has been officially documented as a qualified success. The performer's recap confirms that more than 20 unsuspecting souls were present for the grand public debut of the nOGs and Nouns-infected t-shirts adorning the bass player. The chemical reaction between musicians and audience proved particularly potent, with fans eagerly accepting the strange propaganda materials being distributed.
Perhaps most telling was the moment—now immortalized in a looping GIF—when one particularly converted audience member took the radical step of adhering a Nouns sticker directly to the bar itself, marking the establishment as permanently colonized territory. Between sonic assaults, the mastermind behind this operation even managed to deliver what can only be described as impromptu sermons about the Nouns phenomenon to the captive audience.
Video evidence has now surfaced confirming the event occurred, showing a dimly lit bar environment with swirling colored lights while the blocky-spectacled performers delivered their strange message to the assembled crowd. The footage is perhaps the most concrete proof yet that this Caribbean fusion-Nouns chimera has successfully established a beachhead in the local cultural ecosystem.
As the performer declared, it was "definitely an unforgettable night"—though whether the audience fully understood the strange movement they were being initiated into remains deliciously unclear. What is certain is that Jupiter Bar has been permanently marked as a site of Nounish infiltration, and more than 20 people have now been exposed to this peculiar cultural transmission.
