About Me

In the suburbs of Barcelona a band started to rehearse... a guy who claimed to be "L - Prictoe" made some tunes that he thought could get into other people..s lives and fuse with it. At first, the only person he could convince was his wife, but after a while he could also get an infamous drummer from Belvitge, the brother of a rising Barcelonian saxophonist called Alfons Mu..oz. And then they were 3, but the sheet music written by the L guy asked for an electric bass player, so after looking around, Mr. Prictoe turned to a friend, the guitarrist of an emerging Nu Jazz-Rock Band called "elSintoma". So an individual that people around the block called "Director Willkins" or "Director Lopez" (who happened to play the bass in other groups before) entered the band as the electric bass player. This person brought with him a friend, so small that could be carried in his pocket at all times, whose name is Walt. Walt is some kind of oracle of the obvious, reveals the revealed, sometimes giving unimagined enlightment.___________________________________________

Sounds Like: French fries cooked with kerosene in a heavy frying pan with bells hanging on the edges and a huge old fan making a steady continous danceable pulse. With a tender high scream on the back with suggestive wispered sprechgesang parlament, and a catchy tune playing on the radio right beside of it all, easy listening strategies and cliches soften the charged atmosphere.
