Niña Coyote eta Chico Tornado West Coast Tour

Niña Coyote eta Chico Tornado, a desert rock power duo formed by Ursula Strong (Drums) and Koldo Soret (Guitar and vocals) will tour the West Coast in late July and Early August. Formed in Donostia back in 2011, it was not until 2013 when, with the presentation of their first LP “Niña Coyote eta Chico Tornado,” they started playing live. Since then they have performed almost 400 concerts in a practically uninterrupted tour that has taken them to different parts of the planet such as Mexico, Chile, Argentina, United States, Japan, Russia, France, Belgium, Spain and to the most important international festivals. In 2014 they recorded their EP album in San Francisco and named it Lainoland (land of fog) - a tribute to this city that has marked this band so much. They have shared the stage with bands such as Metallica, QOTSA and Depeche Mode. Here are the details of the tour:
