El Intruso : banda sonora

Today I´d like to share a bit about my band El Intruso. Even though the band has its own blog, here I´ll say what I want about it, the way I want to:-)

First, we have a show tomorrow at LaPieza:
























El Intruso is kicking off a series of CDrs for sale at our pal and collaborator Tomoto´s art gallery LaPieza here in Madrid. Each month we´ll release a cdr with 5 or 6 tracks from our ever-expanding catalog of work.... These cdrs will function as compilations of our music, an outlet for new and old tracks as well as collaborations with other artists in Madrid. Each cd will feature collaborative efforts with different poets and perhaps a track or two with different sound artists, as well as tracks featuring the core Intruso lineup culled both from our breaking improv sessions each weekend and dusty back-catalog gems that refuse to be forgotten. Hand-numbered limited edition, with individual art-work by Tomoto.

We´ll be presenting the series tomorrow, Thursday February 24th, at LaPieza with a live music session, starting at 21:00. I don´t think there will be any guest musicians or poets with us tomorrow, so it´s a good chance to see what the band itself is about. Entry is free! Stop by and pick up a copy of the first CDr, on sale for 8 euros! You can also order one through our website, and downloads are available via Bandcamp:



You can take a listen to CD01 HERE on last.fm too.

Periodically I´ll be posting stuff from our sessions here too, so I thought I´d start with a megajam from a couple of weeks ago, featuring Bratt (of Cañaman, Mad Sensi, Chalice Soundsystem, who runs Okoumé Studios where our practice space is) on guitar for the second half of the session. Unfortunately the bass didn´t get recorded for some reason, but I´ve tried to mix the tracks so that you don´t miss it too much. Javi may try to overdub some bass... dunno.


Enjoy. (art for the set and individual tracks pilfered from various blogs i frequent and the internet)
