Musicians REACT to The Warning: Soundcheck, UDEM April 2016

[@newport8124]

It is admirable to see DPA so young and yet serious about their music; this shows how dedication and professionalism pays off, also seeing Luis and Moni supporting them not only as parents but also part of the team this is memorable, thank you for putting this up guys.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

It's nice to have this record of their early performances to compare to where they are today. They may be the best-documented Rock band in history. It's also remarkable how similar their singing voices were back then.

[@Chuckles..]

This serves to remind how much work the entire family has put in. Their mom and Dani both making sure little Ale is ok, aww.

[@spidernose]

Mama loving on Ale. So sweet.

[@fredhinckley8630]

As I recall the story, someone next to them at this event was spray painting, or something. The fumes drifted over to them and Ale was feeling a little nauseous. That is why Mom came over to give her a hug at the beginning of the video. Looks like it worked. Fun Fact: Eighteen months later they were opening for Def Leppard in Mexico City.

[@solarvanlife8177]

And Ale grew about a foot in the year after that show with Def Leppard...:)

[@oregonlt3]

Ok, I’m counting that as an Ale bass (& vocal) solo 🤣. Looked like the tech was balancing levels between the bass effects at the cab or something. Hit a pedal & adjust a knob on the amp. But it’s all voodoo to me. Also might have been an early Ale trick with the vocals, sing it higher for sound check so for the show she is quieter in the mix😉 Now (in one Japan video anyway) she just cups her hands around the mic😂. The life of an introvert😊

[@MrSudeepdas]

The tech guy is Jake Carmona - the producer of Escape The Mind & XXI Century Blood.

[@oregonlt3]

@@MrSudeepdas nice! I’d only seen him some years later when they recorded ‘Narcisista’

[@scottinokc]

This is awesome, such a time capsule for the band. Exterminated is my favorite The Warning song, it was fun to see them play around with it in soundcheck.

[@paramisony618]

Great! Great reaction! Recuerdo vivamente a Ale cantando en esta prueba de sonido, pero muy poco del resto. Tan profesionales y enfocadas! Mónica haciendo cosas de mamá me da mucha ternura. En el minuto 8:56 Daniela le pregunta a sus hermanas (por indicación de un técnico) si quieren escuchar su voz, Pau y Ale dicen que no, "No, no quieren" dice sonriendo Dany. Gracias por compartir este material y por sus pensamientos. Me uno al deseo de ver su reacción al show de Agua Fría. Thanks Glenn and Adrian!

This concert has been misidentifed for years. It was sponsored by the Center for Solidarity and Philanthropy of the University de Monterrey (UDEM) but it was held in their home town of San Pedro Garza Garcia, in front of the San Pedro Auditorium. They were playing an after-event concert for the 1000+ Juniors from local high schools who were attending a meeting that warned them about the dangers of gangs and drugs, and provided them with training and education consultants. For sceptics, the event is reported in detail in the 2016-04-08 online edition of El Norte, author Félix Barrón, title "Participan jóvenes en #YoloVivo". In this video the auditorium comes into view at 2:30 and 7:50, and it can easily be identifed with Google Street View. The green sign between two heads shows an out-of-focus "Yo Lo Vivo". Also, the sound-tech guy in dark green T-shirt is Jake Carmona, the sound engineer who recorded their EP and first two albums.

[@mexicanopolis9390]

It's worth mentioning for non-mexicans that San Pedro Garza García, while a different municipality, it's part of Monterrey metro area. Part of the metropolitan zone but politically and administratively independent.

[@solarvanlife8177]

Fun Facts. Thanks.

[@MaddogJones]

Poor little Ale got sick from the fumes of a paint booth near by and was get Rock Star cuddles from mom... The dedication and professionalism of this band at such a young age is testament that they will be around for a very long time and be very successful.

[@SDsailor7]

Another gem from the vault. Thank you Glenn and Adrian.

[@MrSudeepdas]

The large guy in orange shirt is Luis Villareal. The bespectacled guy helping the girls with pedal boards is Jake Carmona - the producer of Escape the Mind & XXI Century Blood. Looks like that this was one of those few occasions where Pablo Gonzales wasn't around. Pau said in 2017 TEDx that they took a long time to make their 1st LP. So 2016 was their year of composing XXI Century Blood. They did play some songs including the eponymous title track at this show before releasing these in 2017.

[@mexicanopolis9390]

You can also see their grandad photobombing the video at 2:24 😂

[@javierornelas3558]

This is such a time capsule gem of DPA. You can tell that at this early stage in there career Luis and Moni must've been reaching out to as many local and community resources to give the girls as much exposure. Not sure if Moni or Luis studied at Universidad de Monterrey, but l am sure they had a lot of supporters that did. Fan fact Monterrey has some of the best Universities and Technology institutions in México.

[@MrSudeepdas]

@@javierornelas3558 True. Time capsule indeed. There is another one during the launch of Indian motorbikes (from USA) in Monterrey. Luis, Mony, Pablo & Jake must have explored every available channel to get exposure for the girls. Apparently getting permission for little Ale to play in bars & night clubs used to be a problem in those early days.

[@mt4design2]

Amazing. When Dany starts belting acapella and Ale and Pau get their levels correct I always wonder if they hear a reference note. If they don’t, yet still sing on pitch with such incredible unison it demonstrates just how connected they are not just to each other but to the music. That is astounding.

[@clarkditter5975]

Thanks for the reaction. It was interesting to see their parent's involvement with soundchecks in those early days. I was really impressed with how nice Ale's voice sounded when it was amplified a bit more.

[@MrSudeepdas]

Once again I will urge you to react to their storytelling concert at Agua Fria in 2018. Nobody has reacted to this show which is a wealth of information. The girls talked about their journey in between playing songs from the 1st album. Hate received, approaches from big houses, story behind some of the songs, etc. It was also the show where Ale sang in public for the 1st time. The Warning Army KZbin channel has this concert as a playlist including their practice session the day before and a Q&A session in the end. They have also put in English captions for non-Spanish speaking fans like us.

[@glennandadriansrocktalk]

We have a reaction recorded for one song from Agua Fria and we'll be releasing it soon! You make a good case for us to look at the whole concert. - G

[@MrSudeepdas]

@glennandadriansrocktalk Already looking forward to you reacting to Agua Fria, song by song. Do switch on captions while reacting.

[@CraigCholar]

I think this is the Agua Fria playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLGr8fallFVeYhMCHRwdQy1wmk25bMldAw

[@MrSudeepdas]

@@CraigCholar Yes. I didn't post it because KZbin had blocked my links randomly in earlier posts in other threads. In this playlist we can see their practice session in the beginning and the Q&A in the end. The songs are of varying durations, depending on how much they talked before playing.

[@CraigCholar]

@MrSudeepdas The same sometimes happens to me, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try since I had nothing else in my comment but the link.

Two things always stand out to me in these older videos of them. The first is the cuteness factor, especially with ALE. The second is PAU's level of talent. She was already on a different level.

Fabulous to watch the young prodigies at work. "Rivers Soul" was a really good early composition from the girls, still love that one. Thanks guys, another Gem you have unearthed.. You must have a backhoe Glenn with what you are digging up lately....😂😂😁😁

[@glennandadriansrocktalk]

Appreciate it Carl!

[@MrSudeepdas]

So far Glenn has been digging within a standard area. His next should be going through recordings posted by OG fans who had followed the band from 2013. In the comments I left a reference to a storytelling concert from 2018 that no reactor has covered till now. Its a wealth of information. The girls talked about their journey in between playing songs from the 1st album. Hate received, approaches from big houses, story behind some of the songs, etc. It was also the show where Ale sang in public for the 1st time

Yes, the guy in the orange shirt is Luis and the one photobombing the video at 2:24 is his dad. Therefore DPA's grandad. 👴🏼

[@thontor]

Paint booth nearby? I think Dany mentioned this in the Chef en proceso video.

[@SDsailor7]

Back in the day when their dad had hair😊

[@don-music]

Ale sounds like she’s in the same key to me. Let me back up and check. Double checked… she didn’t sing it a semi tone low… it’s perfect. Maybe you heard something else that confused you?

[@Chuckles..]

Yea that's probably her lower harmony

[@glennandadriansrocktalk]

Try it with a keyboard!

[@JulioHernandez-jl9qk]

Can still hear a little accent in Ale's English singing. She has lost it these days. Dany still has it at times here too. Can't detect it in Pau really

[@genboyer]

Look at Luis with a head of hair!! At 4:40...is that Monica helping Pau with her headset and hair? Or someone else?

Most of the world writes April the 8th as 8.04 or 8/04. Only the Americans do it the other way.

And the only country that still uses the Imperial system instead of the metric system. I have always found quite troublesome converting feet/inches to meters, pounds to kilos, gallons to liters, mph to kmh, Fahrenheit to centigrades, and so on and so forth. Too cumbersome. 😵
