Furnish Time

After the brief adventure as Forats Naturals and before the convocation of the City Council of Palma for the I Pop-Rock Competition, Pere Plá and Mané Capilla would unite again with Biel Pons (as with the Forats Negres of 1981), to form one of the most influential bands of Mallorcan Pop-Rock: Furnish Time. In the initial formation were Pere Plá (voice and guitar), Biel Pons (bass and keyboards), Mane Capilla (drums), Pep Vilariño (guitar) and Juan Ga (synthesizer). In November of 1983 they entered the Maller studios under the production of Toni Fernández to record 'The Joy Of The Others', their three songs EP that they would present in February 1984 with the cover of their friend and collaborator Rafel Juan and edited by the Blau label.

This first disc was presented live as a trio since Juan Ga and Pep Vilariño left the band after the recording. In 1985 they are hired by the Madrid City Council to perform at the San Isidro festivities with The Smiths. The concert had the presence of TVE cameras to record the concert for the "Edad de Oro" show. It was their great opportunity and there they were on May 18, 1985 before a crowd that flooded the Paseo de Camoens de Madrid (200,000-300,000 people according to sources). "La Edad de Oro" would broadcast after the live concert of The Smiths an interview with Pere Pla and the last 2 songs they played that night. 

Their second record was edited by Producciones Twins label at the beginning of 1986. The album, with a cover by Miquel Barceló, had to be largely self-financed and had a very limited circulation and a poor distribution. Although they were at their best and had reached maturity as musicians, circumstances did not accompany them and they did not have the promotion they deserved. Furnish Time ended up dissolving at the end of 1987. [SOURCE: GRUPOS NACIONALES NUEVA OLA 80]
