Latino electronica faves Kinky bring the beat to Seattle’s Bumbershoot.

Select tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

A new video for Barracuda’s first single, “Hasta Quemarnos,” directed by Emiliano Cruz and filmed in the streets of Los Angeles, showcases the band’s spirited style that’s been keeping crowds on their feet.

“This video is about dancing,” guitarist Carlos Chairez said. “No matter what your style is, the song speaks about doing it until you burn … even if that takes hours and sleepless nights in search of places to keep the music going.”

The album drops Feb. 24.
