RAÚL BASTIDA & ALBERTO ÁLVAREZ

Nietzsche said, “From chaos comes order”. Johnny Rotten said, “Get pissed…destroy!”. Jesus said, “Ye must be born again”. David Bowie said, “When you rock and roll with me, there’s no one else I’d rather be.”

“Let’s start a new band where there are absolutely no rules”, said the two spaniards Raúl and Alberto, both emigré residents of Berlin, Germany. Raúl, born in Barcelona, and Alberto, son of spanish emigrants, have met only months ago by accident (very probably not by accident!) And this they have, the product of their musical mind-meld, is still an infant at this stage, still learning to focus its gaze and use its hands. But its mission and its message are clear, crystal clear: The old methods, the old structures no longer apply. The slate is clean, the playing field is level, the game is on and the rules will be made up as they go along, only to be discarded again when they in turn no longer apply. The primary musical components are sweat, tube amplifiers, deep convictions, weird noises, instinct, irony, irreverence, risk, rainy-gray melancholy, plug-ins, humor and sex, melody-dissonance-volume, blistered hands and blistered hearts.

Viva!
