HEALTH live at Todd P's MtyMx Fest.

With a corrupt bus service, band cancellations, and issues at the border Todd P's first edition of the MtyMx Festival proved to be far from perfect. But for those who actually made it to the mountains of Monterrey, Mexico, the festival turned out to be a true music experience with friendly people, good tacos and amazing bands.

Photographer Nick Helderman took the bus from Austin Texas to Monterrey MX to document the whole event. (Click on the pictures to read the captions.)

Driving through Christian Texas in a school bus with 'Satan' written on the windows was a total bonus.
