The band Rodriguez from Carinthia in Austria plays garage-punk with a big
Rawk N Roll influence since the summer of 1999. Being inspired by bands like
The Stooges, New Bomb Turks or Zeke, their songs will serve your ears with
an extra portion of roughness and uncompromising garage energy!
Summer 2001, they released their first 7 inch on a Vienna no-budget label
called Angry-Funghi Records. In spring 2003 they put out their first
full-length album on Swindlebra Records (Ulm/Germany). It was recorded
directly live in the rehearsal room. Its a low-fi garage bastard with raw
live energy and without any overdubs. Their thirteen killer track debut
album became a lot of positive critics from many important zines.
With three new hard-hitting tunes, the guys hit the streets again with a 7
inch called "Trip Fontaine" and was released on Varmint Records
(Munich/Germany). As time goes by, Rodriguez became a name in the European
Rock-Sub-Scene. After many shows with such great bands like The Deadly
Snakes (usa), Turbo ACs (usa), Zeke (usa), The Little Killers (usa), Tokyo
Sex Destruction (esp) or The Bellrays (usa) they began to develop more
detailed songs, but still keeping nevertheless their Rod-sound. In the
summer of 2005 they recorded their next chttp and Relax-O-Matic Vibrator
Records (Marseille/France) released in the cold days of autumn a hot slice
of a 10 inch, which is called Black Finger Tips. Rodriguez eventually toured
with this album in the months of October and November in France. Because the french audience love their music, they repeated a Tour de France in autumn 2006...www.rodriguez.at
