RIP KC

About Me

.."Obvious and Bleeding" is the RIP KC fourth album. Formed in 1994 when members were 14 and 12 years old. In ten years they have not stop playing and their sound has evolved from hard punk such as GBH in the first album, until his actual and unique style, based in a mixure of many different influences such as Black Sabbath, progressive 70's bands, late 60's psychedelic, easy listening, jazzy riffs, even bossa nova and funk grooves, etc, but never forgotten their primitive roots: punk minded, dark and deep sounds and spanish tradition. Once recorded thier second reference (7'' single called "8,000 rpm" for Speed Rcds) in Montpellier/France, they began an european tour (France, Belgium and Germany) during the spring of 2000. "The truth is out there" (their third album) was considered one of the best rock albums in many years in Spain by specialized press, in the new one "Obvious and Bleeding" they show themselves as a power trio, and the band has make a giant step in their own sound and musical universe, comparations with any other bands are now so difficult because they now sound as themselves. This fact makes their live shows so punk, so hippie, so heavy, so dark and so atmospheric, and even so techno sometimes (!!), with a great sense of humor which almost no one of rock stars bands have.....all of this has leaded the band been the revelation group at most important rock international and national festivals such as ViñaRock2005 and Festimad 2005. They have been playing during 2004 and 2005 in Punkrock parties, Psychedelic fests, Arty Rock gigs and so many different musical events because they are not into a determinated music scene as said before they sound as themselves. Have shared rock nights with bands like Gluecifer, GBH, Alice Cooper, Sonny Vincent, Sepultura, and most of the "top" rock spanish bands such as the spanish underground jewls (Reznik, Novak, The Bukles, No level oN) which are the best most of the times.DISCOGRAFÏA:-"RIP KC" CD/K7 (Potecial Hardcore) 1997-"8000 RPM" EP (Speed records/Lola Product) 1999"THE BATTLE AGAINST INNER SPIRITS" CD/LP (Punch records) 2001"THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE" CD (Lengua Armada) 2002"OBVIOUS & BLEEDING" CD (Lengua Armada/Influx) 2004 LP (Influx/Munster/Alone) 2006
