The Posies

A concert that fulfils the dreams of many musicians and fans: when a group of such prestige and quality resisted change, and in entirety followed the original style of another bands album. An album that had impressed them so much that they wish they had made it themselves.

The Posies have picked “A Catholic Education” by Teenage Fanclub. A morbid symbolic and rewarding union. Plus a very special gesture. The Posies and Teenage Fanclub are the two bands spearheading the 90’s power pop revival movement, competing with each other, the first from Seattle and the second from Glasgow, bringing bang up to date the British invasion and the guitar led pop of the likes of Big Star and Badfinger.

This debut album “A Catholic Education” by the Scots was published in 1990. In this year The Posies put out their second album “Dear 23” although it was their first multinational release. In both albums the combination of two factors stands out, on one hand the careless but smooth guitars and on the other extremely infectious melodies all of which would please the late Alex Chilton.

2010 marks 20 years of the Scots album and The Posies, with its indestructible founders Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer up front, reviving that vague landmark that brought us power pop, bringing it back throbbing with a new determination

Monster Ones, Mallorca

The Monster Ones (Mallorca)

The Monster Ones are: Cecile the beast (vocals), Carpi Malone (guitar and backing vocals), Bukake Kid (bass) and Josep Verdera “Mr.Self” (drums and backing vocals).
