The Braided Janes are one of the best Latin alternative bands in  Chicago. Their song “Mi Canto” was written during one of the band’s many  improv sessions and mixes eclectic global sounds with Rodriguez’s  powerful vocals and a sexy electronica beat. It’s a bold and  genre-bending statement.

"A highlight was a thrilling performance by The Braided Janes which started a wild dance melee with a set of older songs from their debut Despierta and a hearty helping of the just released Renacer CD. "

"Con una propuesta musical que va del post-punk al rock latino y pasando  por muchas influencias y combinaciones, la banda local The Braided Janes va abriéndose camino más allá de la escena local “underground”.... "Siguiendo la línea del espíritu contestatario del punk y rock, The Braided Janes tiene en sus temas una fuerte carga de contenido crítico, su visión de la necesidad de un cambio social y por supuesto, un gran  toque feminista."
