Diles Que No Me Maten is a rock band from Mexico City – their name, translated as “tell them not to kill me,” comes from a 1950s Mexican short story. Their latest album is called Escrito en Agua (“written in water”), and has moments where they almost sound like a chamber music ensemble, since the band members play flute, clarinet and sax in addition to the usual guitars, bass and drums. The five-piece Mexico City band have always operated on a first-thought, best-thought basis, drawing on a jam-based, krautrock philosophy to craft intricate constructions of wiry art rock spiked with bluesy balladry and poetic mysticism. They play at National Sawdust on Nov. 12.
