Dead Capo

Deceased Capo is among the most first Spanish rings, treading a no-man’s property between jazz, rock and roll, and listener-friendly avant-garde while defying easy categorization. Produced in Madrid in 1999, Deceased Capo surfaced from Insecto’s break up. Since then, associates Javier Díez-Ena (dual bass), Javíer Advertisementán (electric guitar), and Javier Gallego (drums) strived to mix an countless amalgam of affects which range from soundtrack music (Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, John Barry, Nino Rota), to funk, browse, blues, rockabilly, jazz (Don Ellis, Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy) and New York’s downtown picture (John Zorn, the Lounge Lizards/John Lurie, Marc Ribot), among numerous others. In 2000, the music group created their very own label, Pueblo Information, and released their first record, Díscolo, a fantastic display of their iconoclastic personality using additional musicians such as for example Nacho Mastretta and Markus Breuss. Nevertheless, it is within their concert events that Deceased Capo’s talents emerge towards the fullest, with high-energy shows that encompass their very own material aswell as nods to respected composers like Bernard Hermann and John Zorn. A few of their concert events are the Experimentaclub celebration in La Casa Encendida (2003) and Celebration de Otoño (2005) in the Círculo de Bellas Artes, both in Madrid, or world-class celebrations like Benic? ssim and Injuve 2003. In 2006, Argentine filmmaker Miguel Ángel Cárcano decided to go with some of Deceased Capo’s music for his full-length film Interior (Noche), elected for this year’s edition from the Celebration de Cine de San Sebastián.
