To close out the night the incredible Chilean rock band Lucybell performed an electrifying set of almost two hours where they played a great repertoire of past productions like “Lumina” and their newest and almost incendiary album “Comiendo Fuego”. Claudio Valenzuela, Eduardo Caces & Cote Fonseca blew our minds with the strength of a band that knows how to play and transmit their music with a contagious intensity.
The concert was covered by channel 52 and 22 in their nightly newscast which included an interview with Lucybell and clips from their live performance. Telemundo also interviewed Mr. Gabriel Torres, Sprint’s Vice President for Southern California, where he introduced the Sprint Battle of Bands 2006, produced by Corona Jones Entertainment
