MEDIABANDA - BOMBAS EN EL AIRE

• MediaBanda: Bombas En El Aire
      (2017, cd, Chile, cht müsik)

Between 2004 and 2021, MediaBanda released five albums.
Not all of these are easy to find. At least, not when you're living on the Yuripean mainland.

I did get my hands on a copy of "Bombas En El Aire", the band's 2017 album.

Progressive rock, jazz, RIO,... take your pick.
Complex music, strong vocals.
This is superb.

The title track, performed live :

MEDIABANDA - DINERO Y TERMINACION NERIOSA

• MediaBanda: Dinero Y Terminación Nerviosa
      (2007, 2cd, Chile, private release)

Chilean band MediaBanda released their second album in 2007.

I was pretty impressed by MediaBanda's first release but this 2 CD set follow-up blew me away.
Beautiful music, highlighted by vocalist Arlette Jequier (Fulano !).

Here are the first two tracks from the album:

The album got re-released in 2012 by the CHT Müsik record label.

THE STUDIO DAN UPDATE

After the Easter holidays, we would like to draw your attention to our next project. Eight world premieres, outstanding composers (Ralph Mothwurf, Flora Geißelbrecht, Daniel Riegler, Ursula Winterauer, Matthäus Pircher), and excellent filmmakers (Fekry Helal, Claudia Larcher, Celine Pham, Hans Richter, Thomas Renoldner, Anna Vasof), at the Mozart Hall of the Vienna Konzerthaus. The whole program will also be presented in Viktring. Special thanks go to Thomas Renoldner (BAAF – Best Austrian Animation Festival) for selecting the films.

Attentive observers may have already noticed: our YOU BETTER LISTEN! series will return to the MuTh Concert Hall in the upcoming season. Once again, four concerts are on the program—evenings that live up to our own high standards: this is something you can only hear in Vienna with Studio Dan.

A MESSAGE FROM THE FURIOUS BONGOS

Hey y'all! The brand spankin' new release, Third Room Live, is out now!

https://thefuriousbongos.bandcamp.com/album/third-room-live

The album is one show from top to bottom, recorded last November at Third Room in Asheville, NC. It's one of the best performances we've ever pulled off, and we're thrilled to be able to share it. As always, it's a free download - you can pay if you want, but we've covered the licensing fees up front to make sure the Zappa legacy gets its piece. A double-CD package is also available through the Bandcamp page, and we'll have 'em with us at upcoming shows.

And don’t forget: our spring tour is coming up in May! We hope to see a bunch of y’all out there.
