¡¡ESTE AÑO SI! Otra banda a la que le sobran las presentaciones. Hay quienes cantan con falda y hay quienes cantan con pantalones. Llevábamos varias ediciones queriendo contar con la presencia de estos monstruos Granainos del Soul en el Gambeat W.. Solo hay algo mejor que estar con ellos de fiesta y es estar de fiesta, con ellos en el escenario... ¡¡VIVA!! + info en gambeatweekend AL SUPERSONIC & THE TEENAGERS The Teenagers, as they are known on the soul circuit, play soul music with a visceral attitude; authentic and credible in a world where image is more often than not valued higher than music. Their 2008 debut release, Waiting for the First Bus in the Morning, on 7″, has been followed by the 7″ Keep on walking – Unique Records, giving a shot of their first LP, recorded in Madrid under the auspices of Carlo Coupé for Unique Records in 2010, “NOT TOO YOUNG” and has been considered the 10th best album by the prestigious musical Route 66 spanish magazine and the 5th best album of the year by the Mondo Sonoro Southern Edition. In 2009, a 7″ with the Jamaican singer Roy Ellis was released: Roy Ellis & The Teenagers – Let me take you higher – Liquidator Music. Their last 7″ Paint Yourself in the Corner more in the Funk-Soul style has been making people dance in different allnigthers around the world. They have backed in concert such legendary figures of soul as Tommy Hunt, Dean Parrish and P.P Arnold. They have been recently awarded with the UFI (Independent Phonographic Union of Spain) AWARD to the best Urban Music Album released on 2010 for NOT TOO YOUNG and in 2010 won the POPEYE AWARD to the best black music band of Spain. Their songs are the product of years of passion, dancing to and pouring over the music they love, choruses and arrangements imbued with the true spirit of soul. Smart and with street attitude, they understand the language of the music. They are better experienced live, where the forcefulness and presence of Al’s gritty vocal is supplemented by the sumptuous presence of Vanesa Spin’s brilliant Hammond, honesthorns and the classy rhythm section of Javi Frias and Gustavo Fernandez. Since their formation in a borstal in Granada (Spain) many years ago, they had a clear idea of their influences and the musical spirit they wish to impart, with 60s and 70s Afro-American Soul foremost in their minds. Their musical tastes are varied, incorporating Jamaican music and the roots of soul and rhythm and blues, as well as the subsequent development of black American music. Above all they love Northern Soul: the music and the culture. The Teenagers have soul music in their veins; when asked they say that they are not soul, nor do they make soul; rather soul makes them. Al Supersonic and The Teenagers paid their dues in difficult circumstances, buying Stax, Trojan and Kent records as an initiation ritual and combining this with an enduring passion for the best in youth culture. They revive the essence of Motown, Atlantic and rare soul, while bringing to the table the spirit of groups with related histories, such as, amongst many others, The Housemartins and kids like them, who live for the best music in the world. The Teenagers are ready to take on all-comers
