The always well-suited and somber Nacho Vegas has revealed several tracks from his forthcoming record La Zona Sucia . Despite being referred as one of this generation's most prolific songwriters, he is still a divisive character. Many argue he's too calm and monotonous; those are probably the same people that found Sofia Coppola's dazzling Somewhere boring. We like him so much we forgive him for making an album with Bunbury. The songs unveiled were premiered recently on a Spanish radio show, and you can listen to the radio extracts here . He may look [...]
It's pretty easy to get lost in your own national music scene. Sure, there's some international crossover, but it tends to follow pretty well-trodden, mostly linguistic, paths. American bands predominate, the British do quite well for themselves and Canadian nip at various heels. Throw in the odd Irish or Australian band, and you pretty much have the Top 50 covered in any English-speaking country. I think sometimes that gives us as English speakers some sense that ours is the only music out there. Okay, we recognise that things like Tuvan throat singing and Eastern European accordion music exist, [...]

EL GENERO BOBO, NACHO VEGAS Limbo Starr, Spain Rating: 73 By Carlos Reyes With every album, Nacho Vegas makes his fellow adult-rockers look bad. Seriously, we all should feel more proud of having him around; he's as passionate as Morrissey and as rational as Bruce Springsteen. But most of all, he is the answer to all of [...]
Fotos: Pablo Zamora Canciones Inexplicables se llama el compilado doble que el sello nacional Infanta Terrible lanzó este mes para resumir los 7 años de la carrera de Nacho Vegas . 23 piezas que sintetizan lo mejor de la discografía del asturiano, uno de los cantautores más prolíficos y lúcidos de su generación, y que en Chile logró notoriedad a través de los compilados de la revista Rock de Lux , donde ha sido portada en tres oportunidades. Con la excusa de [...]
1971, ELLE BELGA Acuarela Records, Spain Rating: 67 By Carlos Reyes If you know your Tarantino movies really well, you know there will be a moment where he will give up some of his adrenaline to embrace a moment of tranquility, usually after a victorious display of bloody exhibitionism or as a parody of tragedy, or vice versa. Spain's Elle Belga [...]
Nacho Vegas estará el 19 de septiembre en el Lunario del Auditorio Nacional de la Ciudad de México y lo hará acompañado de nada más y nada menos que de la guapa Christina Rosevinge , por lo que seguramente tocarán juntos varios temas de Verano Fatal . Después de dicha visita, Nacho Vegas lanzará un nuevo EP el próximo 5 de octubre que, contiene cinco canciones inéditas y cuya portada corre a cargo de Luis Díez. El nombre de la placa es El Género Bobo . Quizás [...]
Another installment of the madness of the mellows. Songs to pamper your heart rate. This time I am trying to reach out into different genres for mellow songs. We have some amazing chill trance thanks to Velvet Girl, a slow spanish rock by Nacho Vega, the interesting sounds of Rob Dougan, a remix with the one and only radiohead and soothing vocals from Landon Pigg and new music from Andrew Birds latest EP titled "Fitz & the Dizzyspells" The very song from the Tv Commercial Diamonds are Forever that appeared early last year from Landon Piggs. A slow [...]
Hellllllo Club Fono grama ! Recapping the first night of SXSW shows, the only term that I can think of to describe the experience would be "exhaustingly awesome." I mean, I don't want to complain about seeing a mess of bands that I've literally drooled about seeing for years in an intimate setting, but do you realize HOW MANY MILLER LITE'S WERE SPILLED ON MY SHIRT LAST NIGHT?!! I think my shirt absorbed an entire six-pack last night… No matter, cause otherwise, last night was very worthwhile. The first show [...]
I think I've said it a few times already, but it's frustrating to realize not too many people in this continent know who Nacho Vegas is. He will be part of this year's SXSW and to me, is one of the most exciting appearances to look for, but we'll have more news about South by Southwest coming soon. Nacho Vegas is highly celebrated in Spain, but has not made a huge impact in Latin America, unlike his dear friend Enrique Bunbury , who I find extremely overrated. It's very much like the Charly Garcia vs. Luis [...]
Con su nuevo trabajo bien caliente bajo el brazo, Nacho Vegas se lanza a girar por España en unas cuantas fechas invernales en labor de presentación. Parece que el nuevo disco "El manifiesto desastre" se vende bastante bien, y habrá que aprovecharlo para vender entradas. Las fechas son: Viernes 23 de enero, Valladolid, Auditorio Feria de Muestras. Sábado 24 de enero, Gijón,Teatro Jovellanos. Jueves 29 de enero, Barcelona, Auditori. Viernes 30 de enero, Zaragoza, La Casa del Loco. Sábado [...]
Así se llama el nuevo disco de Nacho Vegas , que es una maravilla. A mí me recuerda al Hunky Dory (RCA Records, 1971) de David Bowie en el sentido de que este también le rinde tributo a ciertos héroes personales: Marc Bolan en "Lole Y Bolan (Un Amor Teórico)" y José Alfredo Jiménez en "En Lugar Del Amor", por ejemplo. Para mí, las mejores canciones de El manifiesto desastre , además de las mencionadas, son "Dry Martini S.A." y "Crujidos". Mientras que la primera constituye el sencillo más predecible del álbum, la segunda ofrece un [...]
El nuevo disco de Nacho Vegas , El Manifiesto Desastre , se pondrá a la venta el próximo 1 de diciembre, y ya se ha dado a conocer uno de sus temas, Dry Martini S.A. , Por alguna extraña razón hay que oírlo en un myspace del disco , no en el habitual del cantante . La nueva canción no está mal, pero más de lo mismo. Desde el entusiasmo que me provocó su primer trabajo lo demás me ha dejado bastante indiferente, excepto quizás sus colaboraciones con Christina Rosenvinge [...]
A friend from Madrid promised me a package with the latest material by Christina Rosenvinge, who I've always loved but has been especially wonderful lately. I like her singing in Spanish; she is just much more emotional in it. The new CD is titled Tu Labio Superior and while I wait for it I'll leave the video of her first single "La Distancia Adecuada" which is sublime! , there are three different videos for it (all 3 are cinematically brilliant), all directed by the great Luis Cervero who directed my favorite video of 2007, also from Rosenvinge featuring [...]
Esta noche en el Auditori de Barcelona se realizará un concierto homenaje a uno de los grupos más importantes del Indie español, Los Planetas. El momento elegido se debe a los quince años transcurridos desde el nacimiento del primer EP del grupo, Medusa . Grupos del panorama nacional como Lori Meyers , Nacho Vegas , Enrique Morente , Tachenko , Manos de Topo , Fantasma #3 , Clovis o Pumuky reinterpretarán parte del repertorio del grupo granadino. [...]
(photo courtesy of wkrantz ) Hola people! Sorry we've been off the radar for the past few weeks -- late March was a killer. First off, we must thank everyone who came out to see us dj -- it was nice to see you! In case you didn't make it, here's some recaps, as well as some news about our two most favorite bands (that are still together), The Bellmer Dolls and Shearwater . Sidecar Bar is lovely, and the fried chicken is totally scrumptious. We can't speak for [...]
It could have been "Wish Fulfillment" as well, but I really only wanted three. Why can't I set the right angles together correctly today?
