narcotic psych rock with occaisional alien visitations
The Misteriosos debut CD is here! An hour of sounds, verging from guitar-fuzzed, organ swirled rock n roll to narcotic, trance inducing numbers. You can purchase it on CD Baby, or for digital download on iTunes. Here's what the critics are saying:
The Misteriosos are like paisley underground drifting toward Venus.. The Village Voice (NYC)
"...a blend of guitar freakouts, ethereal female vocals, stompin' garage and dreamy shoe gazing...the band's confidence and precision make it work." - Shindig! Magazine(London, Jon 'Mojo' Mills)
"Quite amazing!.. I really hope the band makes it over to Europe! Very impressed." Lowcut Magazine (Denmark)
"Bursts of psychedelic pop..badass riffs, manic drums, and groovy keys..Tracks like '7 Years' pack a lot of promise." The Montreal Mirror (Montreal)
"Impressive...trippy and unpredictable." Scram Magazine (Los Angeles)
"Upon a first listen comparisons to various Psych/Garage bands could be observed; however, this unit is much more complex..Prepare to visit the serpents lair and let the snake charmers woo you into their perpetual state of dream." Sugarbuzz Magazine (Toronto)
MORE ABOUT THE BAND...
The Misteriosos are really a bunch of freaks who finally get to play the music they always wanted to, which is some kind of psychedelic rock n roll. With influences like early Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, Opal, and The Butthole Surfers, the band managed to play their first show as finalists in The Little Steven Contest in Boston. Relieved that they did not win the contest, since the reality that the band only knew two songs at the time would have been exposed, the band fled to Philadelphia. They released their debut album (12 songs) to great reviews, and have been playing regulary around the east coast, sharing the stage with notable and diverse bands such as The Blue Van, Soledad Brothers, Soft Explosions, Le Nombre, Diamond Nights, and SSM. They have found a large following playing New York City regularly.
The Misteriosos music is played on many college, national, and international stations, including KCRW and Sirius Satelite Radio. The band has played played live studio sets at WFMU, WPRB, and WKDU, and their new release was included on two Top 10 Albums of The Year lists on WORT (college radio).
The single "West of Nowhere" is included on Get Outta Philly (Tick Tick Tick Records). "7 Years" is included in the documentary film "Greeting From Asbury Park, now airing on PBS, and will be included on the film's forthcoming soundtrack. In addtion, The Misteriosos cover of The Fuzztones "Shes Wicked" is included on the Fuzztones tribute CD (Sin Records).
