The Pantano Boas

After a previous experience as Orgullo de España, part of its components, Fina Román (bass and voice) and Pepín Carcelero (drums), along with Ignacio Vidal (guitar and voice) -who had played in some bars in the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona alone with his guitar and eventually with the rockers Dinkremea- formed this band. Showing a more arid and distorted music than the practiced before, The Pantano Boas bet on a cross between Detroit and The Velvet Underground that gave unbeatable results on their own songs and covers. Their first full-length was 'Full Blood Crash', recorded for Tres Cipreses in 1987. In 1988 they recorded a MiniAlbum for DRO entitled 'Motorbeast'. The following year, and again with Tres Cipreses, they released 'Raw Tapes', a compilation album comprising several live covers of other artists. [SOURCE: GRUPOS NACIONALES NUEVA OLA 80]
