LA BANDA TRAPERA DEL RÍO - Guante De Guillotina 1993

Solid Rock stuff from Barcelona now, and this slab features nine songs with much virtuoso guitar solos. A bit info: "The band's second album also suffered release delays, as did their debut, La Banda Trapera Del Río. The situation was even more serious with 'Guante De Guillotina', as suicidal and perhaps unfortunate reactions and decisions ruined the possibility of releasing it first on CBS, then on a person willing to fund it, but never made. Finally, a decade later, after the band had broken up, a reunion was held to reissue the first album, and in 1993 the record was finally released by Okay Records." (source: lafonoteca) - Okay folks, I'm a little shaky and don't feel like writing, you'll find reviews and more information about the album/band in the digital web, I want to get in shape for the important semi-final tonight in Stuttgart. May the force be with the SGE!

V/A - La Repera 1996

Ah Fuck, unfortunately nothing with the DFB Cup yesterday and thus also next year not internationally present, after all a very good game of the SGE and congratulations to the black-yellows. Let's go to what's more pleasurable, talk about Get Baque Records. A private amateurish 'label' which specializes in rare stuff, mainly from Europe, and all music is ripped from original vinyls and it's 100% D.I.Y. and pressed in a limited edition. I think someone has digitized his record collection and shares this in form of CD-R with us, simple artwork to that and finished is a small musical highlight. I'm sure this is a lot work and takes toil and time but the result is worth the effort. This is the first GBR compilation with twenty Spanish rarities 1978-1983. Well, whether I would sell them is another story. So, thirty degrees today, time for sun.

LA BANDA TRAPERA DEL RÍO - s/t LP 1979

Let's join the end Seventies and we visit Catalonia to a) immerse in warmer climate, and b) to meet this interesting band: La Banda Trapera Del Río is a Spanish rock band which were founded in the neighborhood of San Ildefonso in Cornella de Llobregat (Barcelona). Having emerged almost simultaneously with pop punk (1976), they are regarded as precursors in Spain, although members of the group were not considered punks. In fact, although their music draws like that, actually more in attitudes (especially "Morfi", the singer and showman), he was an urban and gritty garage rocker. Keep in mind that members who shaped the final sound of the band (Juan Pulido (drums) and "Uncle Modes" (guitars)) came from groups of symphonic or progressive rock. In 1978 they received several offers to release an album, finally chose Belter. But first that year appeared their first 7Inch "Rule/Rock Cloaca" on Monster Records, considered one of the foundation stones of punk in Spain. The publication of the debut album La Banda Trapera

Del Río was delayed almost a year, despite being already recorded. In addition the band always complained that Belter deceived them with sales figures and did not pay them royalties. They were active from 1976 to 1982. In 1992, on the occasion of the reissue of their first two albums, the group came back together. They recorded two more albums and again separated in 1996.

In 2009 (and despite the death of guitarist "Uncle Modes" on November 1, 2004) the band reconvened until his farewell concert of 25 March 2010 on the Ramblas in Barcelona. This last concert became a tribute to John "Raf" Pulido, admitted to hospital the day before (his last performance on March 23) because of the disease he died on April 13, 2010.

Well, their debut is a healthy mix of good rock'n'roll with hardrockin' guitars/solos (most songs with a length of more than 3:00 minutes!!) and a nice touch of punky, sometimes chaotic moments. As I said: interesting band
