Last year, the Primavera Sound Festival organizers proposed to the standard of your forum -with a view to publishing in 2011 - began to suggest names of groups that would like to see in a hypothetical scenario that they would decide the schedule. While the idea subsequently failed to materialize according to those exact coordinates (no scenario forero ), the organization did everything possible to ensure that they were present most of the proposals that had received the most votes. Among them appeared a shy, curious to see Nosoträsh-disk not published since 2005 - playing in full what is considered his most personal work and achieved, Popemas (2002). Might seem somewhat random in times do not look back we are living, but the fact is that the idea stalled and eventually materialized in May at the Forum.
generational Companions at the time in which they arose, fellow Asturian, were Undershakers . Review this ep they published in 1997, I roamed the mind this morning when I wake up, and I found it inevitable to get into the festival forum and read what someone said in the thread Nosoträsh: "For another year we ask the Undershakers" , silly coincidence to me very funny indeed. The fact is that the group that made the sisters Mar (guitar, vocals) and Alicia Alvarez (bass, vocals), Sandra Bacon (vocals), Cristina Gutiérrez (drums) and Lara Gonzalez ( keyboard) may not reach the style debugging today it is claimed his comrades as perpetrators of one of the key jobs of pop English for the past decade, but it is also true that there was no time: by the time they separated in 2000 and had given priority to the songs in Castilian, and momentum was turning garagero slowly and with good lyrics in pop immediacy and we'll never know how much further might have arrived. Mar y Alicia, major composers as well, patching followed thereafter subtleties in his excellent project Pauline at the Beach, which is that the end of the Undershakers institution was its unabashed and shameless (I still remember his concert Current festival in Logroño in 1998 I recorded on cassette tape: fun and, as Sandra said when they played the oversensitive 'A Friend' as a guitar tuned, "mariconas the just" ).
Sola presents them in what I personally think its best: great progress in the field of composition and production on his debut (very bad time has passed for the sound level Nightshow ) and, simultaneously, displaying a rawness that was darkened with cosmetics on her second album, Voodoo , published in 1998. Here begins to glimpse the perfect pop hook married to his taste for the garage, and is the premiere writing in our language: one of his best decisions. The two original songs in Castilian are proof of the perfidy and sarcasm so natural that made them so special: the speech and comic self 'Sola' may well be the best example we found in his discography that, and the euphoria of ' Upside-Down '( "Painting black on the floor and then walk him / Becoming partly up the wall / and your heart beats fast and perhaps on the contrary" ) is so short and funny that causes the need for a second immediate listening. Complete half of the ep in Castilian version of ye-ye 'A Tu Vera', which had already contributed to the disc English Film Songs (1986-1996) . Besides, a review of a Shocking Blue classic feel to them like a glove and used to be favorite at their concerts ("Send Me a Postcard '; Sandra vocal display, what walk by now?) Taps and scrolls dark psychedelic 'Big Dog' (one of those pieces uncovering sexual mockingly from time to time) and another of his songs to remember, 'Reflections', tense and anxious in a sad but firm.
Perhaps no one would take seriously someone who says that misses Undershakers, perhaps few people consider their jobs as momentous to claim the need for a do not look back because of its ease and fun character who had said before, it identifies a lot with this idea . But the playful (and do not want to reduce it, if I explain it) is just as important in our lives. With the memories I have of them, I do: I miss seeing the girls together.
