LIGRE : A DIFFERENT FEELING
THAT STILL YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIMENTED
The kind listening of a LIGRE disc is a experience that does not
leave indifferent, like the feline del that takes their name,
are the result of a mixture, a crossing of influences that according
to same them goes from Lennon and McCartney to Belle & Sebastian,
happening through Brian Wilson, Byrds, Kinks, Neil Young, Love
or Blur and leaving to us the strictly musical thing, Gaudí,
Stanley Kubrick, Richard Lester, the Marx Brothers or even The
Muffets. To listen Ligre is..... a different feeling that still
you have not experimented.
A SHORT STORY
The band was formed in Elche (Spain) in September of 2000, the
two first years happen defining the formation that finishes being
a quartet, outlining a sound that it identifies to them, recording
several demos and acting with frequency.
On December 2002 and with the demo "Retorno a los bosques"
LIGRE they begin to call the attention of musical press as. Rock
of Lux, Toxicosmos and El Pais de las Tentaciones that catalogues
to them like one of the best new bands. "One of the perseverantes,
and so that no, better bands but of our only demo scene"
(moonplacefanzine.com)
With the next one "Tu Voz Cansada", press keep on being
encouraging: "Average dozen of beautiful songs that, delicately
fixed, adhere to the listener thanks to addictive melodies and
to a pompous and distinguished instrumentation" (monocromo.org).
During 2003 they are finalists of the constest Villa de Bilbao
and 3º place of the Ampli of Barcelona, they play with the
Californian band The Tyde in Valencia, and with The Sunday Drivers
and Fangoria among others.
“Ligre is a group indie with letters in Spanish that you
cannot be lost. They come near to the pop one of the 60’s
without letting of side the most acid rock neither forget the
fragility and the English romanticism the more new wave "(La
Furgoneta Azul).
