Sounds Like
French fries cooked with kerosene in a heavy frying pan with bells hanging on the edges and a huge old fan making a steady continous danceable pulse. Also a tender high scream on the back and suggestive wispered sprechgesang parlament on the front, a catchy tune playing on the radio right beside of it all; easy listening strategies and cliches soften the charged atmosphere.
All in all it sounds like something an inquisitive person (like the one who might be reading this) may like.
And now... make way for Le Grand Odd!
Here our very own Director López-Wilkins in one of his occult dadaist astrological trances exposes a mysterious relationship between two extremely popular songs...
ENGLISH VERSION
The Oddvisers is an odd Pop band that usually intertwines dadaist performance with rock songs, creating an atmosphere of extreme excitement and bizarre humor. They usually alter the minds of their expectators to the point of creating wild generalized crazyness or raw euphoria, reminding people not to get caught in their point of view; everything is possible and nothing is fixed.
It all started in the year 2007 in the suburbs of Barcelona when a band started to rehearse... a guy who claimed to be "L - Prictoe" made some tunes that he thought could get into other peoples lives and fuse with it. At first, the only person he could convince was his wife, but after a while he could also get an infamous drummer from Belvitge, the brother of a rising Barcelonian saxophonist called Don Malfon. And then they were 3, but the sheet music written by the L guy asked for an electric bass player, so after looking around, Mr. Prictoe turned to a friend, the guitarrist of an emerging Nu Jazz-Rock Band called "elSintoma". So an individual that people around the block called "Director Wilkins" or "Director Lopez" or a blend of both (who happened to play the bass in other groups before) entered the band as the electric bass player. This person brought with him a friend whose name is Walt, and he's so small that could be carried even in the tiny pockets of Wilkins ultra-strech pants. Walt is an Odd oracle of the obvious, reveals the revealed, sometimes giving unimagined enlightment; he resembles Wilkins in every possible way (he even moves in sync with him!), but he has purple skin and his orange shirt shows his own name.
Later the impressive Submarine joined the group creating odd videos and odd pictures, complementing the show in a variety of creative ways.
In the summer of 2008 another member joined the vicious odd band, a writer-poet-freak-provoker called Patillas Black, and made his debut in the now legendary Big Bang Show, held in the The Big Bang Bar where none of the odds can show their face again. Although he now resides in Alaska he is still a member of the group, writing the incredible mythology of odd and helping with oddvices every now and then, also contributing with lyrics and special appearances in concerts.
In the summer of 2009 drummer Johnny Garlic left the group for a grand adventure on the road and Vasco "Thriller" Trilla (a member of Planeta Imaginario and The Filthy Habits Ensemble) joined the Oddvisers to infiltrate in a famous Dj festival where they whipped a delirous show.
The Oddvisers first concept album will be ready to infiltrate in your house in the beginnings of 2010, you've been oddviced.

desmontando cerebros con ruido y sudor: OJALA ESTË MI BICI Y ANTEOJOS BOOKING presentan con un poco de susto y puntualidad británica Este VIERNES 17 de Abril, a las 20:30h en el Kasal de Roquetes de Barcelona a 3 bandas que nos licuarán los encéfalos y nos los sacaran por la nariz:
THAT FUCKING TANK(Leeds, UK) Duo batería/guitarra reconvertido a trío gracias a otro tipo que hace cosas raras y que desmontan estructuras, hacen ruiditos rarunos y nos llevan, traen, mecen y enriquecen sin necesidad de hacerse los interesantes. Si te gustó Lighting Bolt no vengas porqué estos son bastante mejores y no dejaras de preguntarte porqué repámpanos te gastaste 12 euros aquel dia. http://www.myspace.com/landsandbody
(LO:MUÊSO)(Premià) Además de los 3 discacos que se llevan hasta el momento, han estado en sitios, han tocado con gentes y se les ha visto por lugares, y todo porqué su directo es intenso, eléctrico y atrapante como pocos. Marañas guitarrosas y solidez no comparable: lujaco! http://www.myspace.com/lomueso
THE AUGMENTINE TRIO(BdnBcn) Estos tres tipos son más altos que los de muchos otros grupos y suenan más personales, auténticos y anticlónicos que la mayoría: no repiten patrones ajenos porqué tienen los suyos propios. Vistan de naranja y háganse fanes ya mismo. http://www.myspace.com/augmentine
Todo esto por ¡¡¡5 borcs!!!,que viene a ser tan barato que no se ni porqué tengo que aclararlo, la verdad.
Kasal Joves de Roquetes, Vidal i Guasch 16, L3 Roquetes, salida Tres Torres, que solo hay que rodar un poco cuesta abajo y ya está. _______________________
