TanStuPids
April 29th, 2011, just before opening for Els Amics de les Arts,
three boys from Castellón decide that the world will be
known as "TanStuPids" precisely as it is called one
of his songs.
"At first, -stupid-it was a stupid derogatory adjective spoke
of the man who is surprised and ecstatic at the wonderful things
of this world, then amazed and thought that showing feelings was
not good for man and the word fell into derogatory meaning we
like, because it reflects the passivity and stupidity of society
to the problems we create a few".
DON’T LOOK FOR GUITARS... THERE’S
HAVEN’T
TanStuPids confess to having contacted through social networks,
even if you knew the music scene in Castellón. JOAN VILLALONGA
(piano, keyboards & vocals), DIEGO BARBERÀ (bass and
vocals) and TICO PORCAR (drums, vocals), who came from previous
experience, joined "to a different kind of music we had done
and minds open for everyone to contribute what you seem more appropriate".
The group has no objection to be defined as "ALTERNATIVE
POP WITHOUT GUITARS".
How could it be otherwise in these times, again internetcontacted
TanStuPids with Flor y Nata Records, and the connection was instantaneous.
The result is the debut album also called "TanStuPids".
An EP-CD and first release of five songs.
The album is a team which can listen to powerful bass lines,
sometimes clean and other distorted vocals and piano games that
pass the delicacy to uncontrolled controlled, solid battery but
rich in nuances and compositions that go through many styles that
are difficult to define.
And, if the band is called TanStuPids and TanStuPids is the name
of the album, the first hit single is called ...as too "Tan
Stúpids", a song that satirizes about consum society
and where the three components sing the verses of the song. A
hymn against more rampant consumerism.
