friends, my family since then, were a group of diverse cultures. Classmates, the school, were those who sold tickets pijitos Pacha on Saturday afternoon to take off the paste and leave travel. Well, it went on a trip, and when I came across a gift that they would have to endure for many years myself.
My first official outing with them, went to a concert Gabinete Caligari at the disco bubble Ribarroja. I honestly do not remember anything from that performance, only that I was alternating with them and with their friends at the time, guess who was behind and some who know the ecosystem where it should move thereafter. At first as I said, I found them all very pijitos, with Gus, that was the one who loved music, records and was able to organize it all, as leader. Manuel, who was very funny and the thinnest guy I had met in my entire life, John Joseph, who was a Galician in Galicia who would soon become the biggest fan of Dire Straits Northern Hemisphere Javi, to which all called "wolf" and that was an awkward child and a little tiresome that ended up becoming a great guy, funny and wise ... and Gabriel, Gaby, a quiet guy and looking child, who knew all the songs from The Smiths and had the most beautiful and expressive eyes I've ever met. From day one I knew was that look in my room, even a wrong place as impossible. The first time I saw Gaby out of school, came with George to buy a disc. A single Impossible Worse, "Whispering" , which was very fashionable and loved me too.

The truth is that we were very different but we had many things in common. They were colleagues from George, and loved him. And George I opened the door, just when I needed it most. I could not fall into the best group, or have a better sponsor.
did with them hundreds of miles to see dozens of memorable concerts, and they shared my obsession with the songs and albums.
That began a long period in which almost every Saturday afternoon concert had Pasha, and the bands of a highly institutionalized and move, marched through the stage with discretion and perseverance.
few years, packed with organized trips to Madrid or Barcelona, \u200b\u200bto see old legends and leading figures, who never thought to step Valencia.
A time filled with miles and miles, listening to the same tape Dire Straits, over and over again .... until finally he picked up a baby and everything. And that when they took our cars, because until then I took a train to get to a club where he played someone who we could not lose, and then dying a few hours we waited at the station until the first train back.

was the summer of 85. Alzira again celebrating their festivals and as always, threw the house through the window in case of concerts. That night Gabinete Caligari, and the Troglodytes Loquillo, and Ye-Ye Glutamate, pooled forces on stage at the football field. And last but not least the Orquesta Mondragón stood in Alzira to present his "Rock & Roll Circus" . The four bands were at their best, and we could not miss. So I grabbed a train in the evening and we planted in the festival (because today no doubt, a sign like that would be called a festival). Glutamate
By then Ye-Ye had just launched "beautiful" a minielepé who edited with Ariola and contained "Alice" , which was an issue that drove me crazy every time he sounded in the club. It was the only show I saw of the band Iñaki Fernández, who hosts the night ended with the audience in the front rows. It seems somehow rebuked him, otherwise he said, and ended up getting off the stage and getting involved to slap ... Very punk, yes. Iñaki
offenders was one of my favorites, he copied me about the horn on his head. I mean, one day, to the delight of my mother decided to cut my hair. Gone are the large carded and hydrogen peroxide. Although not quite, because in case, kept a long tuft at the height of the fringe that looked for a while with a carding erect that caused a sensation. And no, I have said many times ... I have no photos.

More professional did not matter and the Troglodytes Loquillo. And had seen several times, but this was the first I realized that they were a rock band truly immeasurable. presented "The Mafia Dance" , the first of three round discs of the Catalan band. Automatically all of us surrender to his feet. Loquillo our particular history, had only just begun. Gabinete Caligari
With I had a problem: to me that the rock cañí and English blood, as it seemed very very tacky facade. And surely it was very front and very tacky, but their albums were great, and "Al Calor del Amor in a Bar" , was then the perfect album. Shortly end my love affair with the band Jaime Urrutia, and there will be occasion to tell how it was that disagreement.
However, the three groups were the most interesting move, and seeing them together meant an event. But it was the Orquesta Mondragón , the most successful group was then. Beyond his sense of humor, surreal and descocado, band Jaime Stinus had become the paradigm of classic rock and good. And both Popotxo , as especially Javier Gurruchaga were real showmen on stage.
really enjoyed that performance, and those fantastic versions of "Rock 'n' Roll" Lou Reed of and "Stand By Me" Ben E. of King , where the bride was dressed Gurruchaga delusional and possessed, many years before their own monster engulfed him via the media. Times were different.
