La Prohibida

Bambino cantaba aquello de "soy lo prohibido". Ella es La Prohibida. Y además, canta. Emperatriz de las noches más locas, musa de los tugurios y la presencia escénica más brillante del underground español. Quizá la hayas visto presentando a Fangoria o incluso actuar con ellos. A lo mejor la has visto en algún cortometraje de culto y puede que hayas oído hablar de esas fiestas, las de "En plan travesti", que ella misma ideó y que hoy causan furor en Madrid y demás ciudades españolas por las que pasan.

Nacho Vegas

Self-described as a rock-singer-songwriter, Nacho Vegas blends the polyhedric language of rock and the most stark lyricism into an intense whole. His lyrics are painful and celebratory, pathetic and grand, brutally lucid and of an intimate beauty; a desperate philosophy of survival shines with a wicked sense of humour and a longing for the divine. Nacho Vegas has been a prominent figure in the Spanish 'indie' scene since his work with Eliminator Jr, Manta Ray; bands influenced by Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and other similar avant-rock acts of the early 90's.
