ZERNÍAS

Zernías, that's the name of this new band born in Avilés, whose sound moves within the progressive and psychedelic rock of the 70s, combining careful and delicate melodies with instrumental power and subtlety, thus creating its own atmosphere and sound.

With lyrics born from the concerns, dreams and experiences of the members; deep, mystical and full of references to both their own experiences and to reference bands (Pink Floyd, Triana, Led Zeppelin or Muse).

This band was born from the musical evolution of several of its members: Paula Lozano, Miguel Vega and Alejandro Vega, who initially met in the band Wolffather, a tribute to Wolfmother, where they shared the stage and experience performing the repertoire of the Australian group.

Over time, the desire to create their own music arose, and it was Álex who suggested taking the step towards original composition. From that moment on, a new stage of lyrical and musical composition began between Paula and Álex, resulting in the first songs and laying the foundations of the project. Later, Miguel Vega joined on bass and Hugo Toro on drums, a friend of Álex's since high school and a collaborator on other musical projects, thus solidifying the current lineup.

The band's name refers to "Cernías," a village in western Asturias, the home of Miguel and Alex, and which is referenced in several of their songs, playing with the folkloric and mysterious atmosphere that surrounds these villages frozen in time and lost "to the hands of God.".

RITUAL (TRIBUTE TO GHOST)

THE BORDER

The story of La Frontera is a rock 'n' roll journey through the landscapes of Spanish music. That journey began in 1985 with their self-titled album, "La Frontera," and the legendary song that won them first prize at the Madrid Rock Festival, "Duelo al Sol" (Duel in the Sun). Their next stop on their recording journey came in 1986 with "Si el whisky no te ruinas, las mujeres lo hará" (If Whiskey Doesn't Ruin You, Women Will), an album that featured standout tracks like "La ciudad" (The City), "Volverán los buenos tiempos" (The Good Times Will Return), "Judas el Miserable" (Judas the Miserable), and, fortunately for lovers of good rock, included "Cielo del Sur" (Southern Sky), a song that continues to give fans of this legendary band the energy to keep traveling with them. In 1987, they decided to change course and take a "Midnight Train," though their hitherto inseparable Toti Árboles didn't board. He rejoined the band for "Rosa de los Vientos," La Frontera's 1989 album, which cemented their status as one of the most solid Spanish pop-rock bands of the 1980s. This fourth album finally brought them public recognition with tracks like the well-known "El límite," "Nacido para volar," and "Juan Antonio Cortés." Then came "Palabras de Fuego" in 1991 and "Capturados Vivos" in 1992, a compilation of the band's hits. Here, the power of vocalist Javier Andreu combined with the reflection and mysticism of a heart-wrenching melody in songs like "Lluvia" and "Aunque el tiempo nos separe," while also reminding us that "El límite" and "Judas sigue siendo un Miserable"...

NINE BELLOW ZERO

(UK)

Founded at the height of punk-rock in England, Nine Below Zero He took a different musical direction, drawing inspiration from the Chicago blues and with influences from big names like John Mayall, The Kinks and The Who.

Feltham is also an internationally renowned session musician, having collaborated with legends such as Rory Gallagher, participating in virtually all of their recordings and tours. Their list of collaborations is impressive, including names like Roger Daltrey (The Who), Oasis, The Alarm, New Model Army and Manfred Mann, among others.
