The Misfits

Trendenz is completely addicted to the British TV series The Misfits. Our favourite is Simon, played the the Welsh actor Iwan Rheon, the boy with a great music taste and that Joy Division look resembling that band's singer Ian Curtis. He had that capacity to become invisible in the first two series and later became a true parcours hero, climbing up walls to save our souls.
Check out here the profiles of these heroes here:

Alaska live at The Brandery - Barcelona

She is a true icon and a symbol of that rebel, wild, irreverent and free Spain. After many years performing as just Alaska or Alaska Dinarama she has teamed up with Nacho Canut and formed the electro pop band Fangoria. Trendenz saw this band live at Sónar Barcelona four years ago and was pleased to see them live again in this true celebration, a great glittering, camp and pop performance.
