I don't know many rooms like Hell Dorado. It is a temple dedicated to rock, which looks at all corners of the style, last weekend, since 2001. Autochthonous and foreign. On that cold night, they came very close and very far from Andalusia.
From Mondragón, Screamers and Sinners. They were in this same room just over a year ago, and then I found out about them. In a year, their performance has not changed much, except for battery switching. Nervous rock, fast. They make the punk heir faster and in its versions they also make it more of a gesture (Ramones, RIP…). For the start of the night, perfect.
From Ubeda (Andalusia), Guadalupe Plata. Fortunately, they look nothing like Joaquín Sabina, Sabina’s compatriot. “Underground narcotic blues wrapped up,” I would define if I had to write it for Rock de Luxe magazine. There are three: the one who gives the guitar and sings, the one who plays the battery and the one who does bass.
Peter of God, more than playing, gives the guitar. Masterfully expresses Fender Telecaster. It creates sounds and melodies that almost nobody (perhaps Joseba Irazoki) would take out, and in addition to playing the same song, it is also dedicated to creating atmospheres. She sings like she's underground, with the help of a special microphone. Well, more than songs, yours are gemidas, as if someone shouted on the ground.
In the battery, Carlos Jimena puts a solid rhythmic base, but it is also evident that he has the hands and dolls ideal for atmospheres. His style is close to jazz. It's a way to touch a narcotic touch.
And doing the bass player, Paco Luis Martos. And I say purposely “doing low,” because it doesn’t touch any instrument we know as low. Sometimes it makes the base harmonious with a guitar, and other times with a single string instrument that in Wikipedia they call "smuggling." This last instrument is worth explaining: a cube on the ground, a stick and a string tied to it to tighten the rope pulling from the palette, and it's already there. Of the most basic. And yet, it produces an elegant contraband sound.
In the beginning and in the end, the Jiennenses performed a very elegant performance. They played the songs of their five works for over an hour and a half, and when the listeners got out on stage for the second time, by surprise, they played the song by Jake Holmes Dazed and Confused, almost with more class than themselves, Led Zeppelin.
At the best concerts, the liturgy of Hell Dorado promises that his major abbot, Juan Uriarte, will take the Mexican txapela to his colleagues. Peter of God dismissed himself as a champion.
