“A cathartic evening that turns the tired old concept of traditional karaoke on its head, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind event in which Rachel Arieff acts as mistress of ceremonies and performs a wide array of sketches, alternating with enthusiastic spectators that check their self-consciousness at the door. Everything goes in this show, and the more extreme and outrageous the performances, the better”.
-El Periódico

"'I thought it would be empty, but there are about 200 people here,' says David, a 27-year-old designer. It's his first Monday at the Barcelona Sidecar Club's Anti-Karaoke. 'No, I'm not going to sing,' says Rosa, a 22-year-old student. A half hour and three beers later, she's onstage singing Push It by Salt 'n' Pepa... An American living in Barcelona, Rachel Arieff is now a classic of the local alternative weekend scene. Every Monday at Sidecar, she presents Anti-Karaoke, an underground celebration of the great Japanese invention.” -El País

"Normally Mondays are a drag. The weekend respite ends and, no matter how brief the pause, it's always hard to get back into the swing of the work week. But what if there were one special event with the capacity to alter this dynamic? Ladies and gentlemen, the remedy is called Anti-Karaoke, a dream come true for the dreary weeknight..." -La Vanguardia "Arriving to Madrid is one of the wildest parties that Barcelona has given us this past last year: Anti-Karaoke." -Shanguide

"One year, 50 personalities. On Madrid celebrates its anniversary by blowing out the candles with the movers and shakers that have defined the nightlife in this increasingly modern, dynamic and cosmopolitan city..."
-El País ("On Madrid")
