They’ve burned their fingertips on buckets of records searching for the Crypt Records logo. They’ve left their necks headbanging in the front row of every garage-punk concert they can attend. And they’ve also taken to the stage to celebrate the fact that fierce rock ‘n’ roll is a music and an attitude, yes, but it’s also a way of understanding life and even a profane religion. They are Los Chicos, the emblem of Dionysian rock ‘n’ roll, the survival of rat hole punk, the pride of our “rock tavern” (translate and adapt pub rock as you wish). Rafa Suñén, the twins Gerardo and Antonio Urchaga, Guillermo Casanova, and Ral García have eight albums and toured all over the world, spreading the word of rock and roll also letting themselves be loved by country, gospel and soul.
They were on the Funtastic Stage at the first edition and will be back for the 20th anniversary, because they’ve been rocking all this time. And because we love them, damn it!
