VIRGIN PANCAKES ON THEIR WAY TO THE U.S. WARPED TOUR
February 11, 2009
Virginia Da Cunha and her band, Virgin Pancakes, met with Ambassador Wayne on February 11 to present their new album in pendrive/USB format to him. The band was accompanied by Mr. Jose Piccardo, president of VANS Argentina. VANS is the official sponsor of the U.S. Warped Tour and they have selected Virgin Pancakes as the Argentine representative in the tour and Virginia Da Cunha as the face of their latest publicity campaign.
The Ambassador and the band members talked about the U.S. bands that inspired them to form Virgin Pancakes, such as Blink 182, Ataris, Green Day, Offspring and other representatives of the Californian alternative rock scene. Virginia Da Cunha also told the Ambassador that each band member practices an extreme sport, which made them a perfect match for VANS’ sponsorship.
“Music is one of the best ways to communicate between different cultures,” said the Ambassador, who invited the band to participate in the outreach events that the Embassy organizes with U.S. bands visiting Argentina.
