If the grandchildren had…
The meeting point of La Banda del Abuelo is the rare avis in many ways: when they were quite old they met to form the group, and when nobody gave anything in their favor, the Mondragonese began courageously to do concerts by breaking moulds and auditory holes, among them their own. These people, raised in punk, gaztetxe and counterinformation in catacombs, have always demonstrated the attitude and punk character in their valley as no one else, and the sound that approaches the ‘rock’ attempt. Different words, read, with many laps and, of course, very (cars) critical in what is industry, envy and ambition.
For a long time, her practice was to record songs on the premises, make copies and distribute them among friends. This and the testing machines they've done on Sundays with the excuse of learning almost from scratch the instruments and their use. Five or six years ago, however, they published the CD-book Rock and roll is a hammer, with a careful presentation and eight representative accounts of Josu Arteaga, member and letrist of the group.Over these years they have been very quiet performing very few concerts, selected in the darkest holes, in which they have become even
more rabid of the dirty pandemic (we did not expect otherwise! ). In fact, they have recorded on their own and elegant eight new songs on the site under the direction of the guitarist, and they have collected it in a work produced by the Mondragonese artist Xabier Atxa.
The most important change is that Ane has left the group for the time being and for this time they have been joined by the harmonic veteran Jaime Lizaranzu. On the other hand, they have achieved, compared to the past, a more defined sound, and although they remain at the impossible border between the punk rock and the P. Original rock, D. José is now closer to the records of Lemmy and Xabi Garre that has always been present. A nuanced result, simple but difficult to chain: pointed guitars, almost tribal rhythms, raw rock and roll and approach to psychodelia.
