Agrimensor K

Agrimensor K was a band from San Sebastian formed in 1981 by Nacho Goberna (guitar and voices), Ignacio Valencia (voice and bass), José Manuel Gandásegui (drums) and Juan José Mourlanch (keyboards). Their name came after the influence of the novels "The Process", "The Castle" and "America" ​​by Franz Kafka. They played dark and sinister music that culminated in their first disc, a single that DRO released in 1982, 'Principio y Fin / El Castillo', only selling 300 copies. In 1982, his song "Resurreccion Blanca" appeared in the compilation 'Navidades Radioactivas' with other bands such Siniestro Total, Derribos Arias, TNT, Glutamato Ye-yé or Seguridad Social, among others. As for shows offered, their highlight was the one starred in Rock-Ola, along with Servando Carballar's Los Iniciados and the synth-pop band from Alicante Todo Todo. After this performance, drummer José Manuel left the band and he was subtituted by a drum machine. It is already in 1983 when they recorded their second and last single, '¿Juegas al Escondite? / La Pira', again for DRO. Their music, still considered very dense today, was very far from what they would later became La Dama Se Esconde, with much more success and, consequently, popularity.
