So because I’m definitely not stalking Argentina‘s Los Natas on MySpace or anything like that, I just happened upon the page for Sergio Chotsourian side-project Santoro not too long ago. Those of the remembering type will recall their self-titled album put out by People Like You Records in 2001. I picked it up a while back, and since as anyone who’s checked this site more than once since it’s been up knows I’ve been on something of a Los Natas kick lately, I was interested to see what the Santoro dudes were up to nowadays.

Turns out Santoro vocalist Topo Armetta and Chotsourian have a new band going called Venosidad. Their MySpace page only has two songs up, and Armetta plays bass in addition to singing, but from what I can tell it’s a bit more metal than what Santoro was doing — something like desert rock meets Neurosis. Bluesy post-metal. Just thought I’d point them out in case I wasn’t the only one interested. Hopefully we’ll get a full demo from them sooner than later.
