New Buildings

The bassist of New Buildings (Gat) used to be seen in all the concerts that fell with eyedroppers by Barcelona. Impossible to imagine then that fate would keep them the possibility of commercial success, but a wise decision of the group would dismantle the illusion of less edifying business. A declaration of rebelliousness that would begin to take shape in the days of Basura, one of the first punk groups of Barcelona. 

That uprooting lasted a couple of years, the time that goes to discover The Sex Pistols in a bucket of an Andorran store to get the Gong or Incredible String Band records. The connection of these bands of lysergic folk with the work of Pau Riba was decisive. In a record time they went from officializing the punk in Catalonia to recognize in the most restless acoustics a new toy to continue growing. La Truita Perfecta -which was its name- had an ephemeral life. The news that came about Devo, Talking Heads and Joy Division gave another bump in the style of the group. They adopted a new name: Ultratruita. It lasted two and a half years, until certain tensions with the leader of the group (Panotxa) took to Gat to cut short and to continue moving card. He took with him Jeanette, the singer. They chose the name of New Buildings in honor of Einstürzende Neubauten (translated "collapsing new buildings"), that Berlin band that in 1982 shattered the paradigms of rock from a brutal atonality and the use of materials of industrial waste like a solid alternative to the conventional.
