Lovers of contemporary sounds can not miss the date proposed by the Murcia Auditorium tomorrow, Thursday 11 March.
Veterans Yo La I have, key contemporary rock group, will perform tomorrow in the programming of other music.
Murcia reaches one of the legendary American groups, inspiring grunge and reference group.
A unique opportunity to discover the sound of one of the great independent music that comes to present his latest Popular songs.
Tickets cost 20 Euros.
Yo La I have a trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew, the first two (husband and wife) founded the band in 1984.
This peculiar name for a New York band comes from a baseball story of Ira and his beloved NY Mets: When a ball soar guarded by the Venezuelan baseball player Elio Chacon and his American colleague Richie Ashburn, the collision between them was imminent as shouted one I have it!
while another cried out so loudly "I've got it!".
Until Ashburn learned to say in a precarious Spanish "I have it, the Mets saw their solution to cultural problems and the best noise pop band that Hoboken has been born, was baptized.
Although based on the 80, was until 1992 that the band found its ideal alignment, due to the entry of James McNew.
Commence one year after the affair with Matador Records, New York, which covered these peculiar outsiders from that year to date.
Painful (1993), Electr-O-Pura (1995) and I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One (1997) marked a steady progress in the band.
It is on these disks where I get an identity I have sound through a single formula: punk shoegaze + noise + electronic + folk ÷ = Yo La I have.
From Painful, the band has worked closely with Roger Moutenot (was produced Lou Reed, Caetano Veloso and Sleater Kinney), who could be considered as the fourth member of the band.
Each release of Yo La I have surprised by their evolving capacities.
Unlike many of his contemporaries who have not aged all that well, the group has managed to keep ringing current and relevant, without the need to sound a Botox injection.
The band has been on the lists of the best of the year with each album that are used as the extraordinary And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out in 2000, Summer Sun in 2003 and I Am Not Afraid of You, and I Will Beat Your Ass in 2006 (which led to present a couple of times in our country).
Thanks to constant touring and the unconditional support of the criticism the band has certainly managed to get the label of a "cult band.
Popular Songs, the album that come to present to Murcia, was recorded earlier this year in Hoboken (New Jersey) and in Nashville, his hometown aforementioned header producer, Roger Moutenot.
In this new album, the trio performs a deep scan of a large number of genres: there are many tracks that seem to come from a time machine that transports us to the 60's.
The first song "Here To Fall" with a very trippy and absorbing introduction, welcomes us to a sound buffet where gluttony is not a mortal sin.
Later we get the spectacular "Periodically Double or Triple" with its rock & roll groove cincuentero, complete with organ solo included.
In "If It's True" violins lead us to a sad graduation rates in the twee pop is present in a bittersweet, but just when one begins to tilt his head from side to side, Yo La I have removed a noisy as the sleeve of his suit Chamberlain and we have more than 20 minutes of melodious noise.
Yo La I have always carried the baton, and the listener always led.
The Hoboken trio was one of the essential groups last May at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, which showed that they are in top form and that this collection of folk songs is definitely the most bold statement to the band's musical now.
Now come to Murcia on one of its longest tours in Spain.
