Persiana Americana by Soda Stereo

Biografie van de kunstenaar Soda Stereo

Soda Stereo Was A Rock Power Trio Formed In Buenos Aires Argentina In 1982. Consisting Of Guitarist And Vocalist Gustavo Cerati Bassist Zeta Bosio And Drummer Charly Alberti The Band Established What Would Become The Template For Many Other Popular Spanish-Speaking Pop And Rock Music Groups Clever Often Mysterious Lyrics Pleasing Musical Arrangements And An Elaborate And Glamorous Aesthetic Image. Though Nominally Thought Of As A New Wave Or Alternative Rock Group They Also Experimented With Several Different Styles Throughout Their Career Including Ska Post-Punk Power Pop Shoegazing Neo-Psychedelia Dream Pop And Electronic Rock. The Band's Sound Was Heavily Influenced At The Beginning Of Their Career By British And American New Wave And Post-Punk Groups Including The Police XTC Talking Heads And Squeeze. In 1997 After A Farewell Tour Through Various Countries And Finally Argentina The Band Disbanded. Personal And Creative Differences Brought Them To This Decision. On September 20 1997 Soda Stereo Played Their Last Show In Front Of 75 000 People At The Estadio Monumental Or River Plate Stadium In Buenos Aires. A Final Comeback Tour In Late 2007 The "Me Verás Volver" Tour Was Scheduled And Gave Their Fanbase One Final Opportunity To See Them Perform Live. The Large Audiences That Attended Confirmed Once Again Soda Stereo's Capacity To Sell Tickets Record Numbers Throughout Latin America And The US. With The Release Of Albums Such As "Signos" "Doble Vida" "Canción Animal" And "Dynamo" Soda Stereo Became One Of The Most Critically Acclaimed Argentinean Rock Bands Being The First One To Tour Through All Of Latin America And Achieving A Degree Of Success That No Other Local Rock Band Had Accomplished Before. Bio In 1982 Cerati Bosio And Alberti Recorded Some Demos And Started To Play Regularly In A Buenos Aires Bar Called "Zero". After Performing Several Shows A CBS Producer Decided To Give The Band A Chance. In 1984 Their Eponymous Debut Album Soda Stereo Was Released. Produced By Federico Moura Lead Singer Of The Band Virus It Proved Successful. In October 1984 The Band Played At The Buenos Aires Rock & Pop Festival With INXS Nina Hagen And Charly García. Their Second Album Nada Personal Was Released In 1985 And Re-Affirmed The Popularity Of The Band. Instant Classics Such As "Nada Personal" And "Cuando Pase El Temblor" Made The Album A Big Seller And Increased The Band's Notoriety Especially In Neighbouring Country Chile. The Video For The Single "Cuando Pase El Temblor" Was Nominated In As Best Rock Video On The 12th Edition Of The Video And TV World Festival. Released In 1986 Their Third LP Signos Represented The International Breakthrough From Argentina To The Rest Of Latin America This Was The First Argentinean Rock Album To Be Re-Released Post Vinyl On Compact Disc -However Soda's First Original Release In CD Was 1988's "Doble Vida". "Signos" Made The Band Tour From 1986 To 1987 And Contained Songs As "Persiana Americana" The Self-Tiled "Signos" And "Prófugos". The Album Was Number One In Several Countries And Gave The Band The Chance To Conquer Much Wider Audiences. "Sodamanía" Closely Resembling Beatlemania Was Now Widespread. Soda Stereo Embarked In An Extensive Tour Through Latin America To Promote The Album They Gave An Unprecedented 22 Concerts In 17 Different Cities. A Live Album Called Ruido Blanco Was Recorded And Contained Most Of The Songs Played On The "Signos" Tour. After Over A Year Without Recording New Material The Band Travelled To New York City To Start Work On Doble Vida Which Was Released In 1988. The Album Produced By David Bowie's Guitarist Carlos Alomar Was Recorded And Mixed In A State Of The Arts Console And Was Soda's Most Ambitious Project So Far. The First Three Songs On The Album Were Released As Singles "Picnic En El 4ºB" "En La Ciudad De La Furia" And "Lo Que Sangra La Cúpula " Which Became Massive Hits. The EP Languis Followed. Released A Year Later It Contaided Mixes From Doble Vida And One New Track "Mundo De Quimeras". It Was Their Seventh Album Canción Animal Released In 1990 The One That Represented The Band's Creative And Commercial Peak. The Songs Are Amongst The Band's Strongest And Most Popular To Date. It Was Recorded In Miami And Buenos Aires. "Canción Animal" Contained The Instant Classic "de Música Ligera" The Single "Un Millón De Años Luz" The Intimate Short Piece "Té Para Tres" And The Anthemic Tracks " En El Séptimo Día" And "Hombre Al Agua". Overall The Album Is Considered By Some Critics As The Most Consistent Work By The Band Along With "Signos". On December 14 1991 They Performed The Majority Of The Album On The 9 De Julio Avenue In Buenos Aires At A Free Concert. An Unprecedented 250 000 People Were In Attendance. This Success Brought Them To Perform 14 Continuous Sold-Out Shows At Buenos Aires's Gran Rex Theater. From These Shows Emerged The Live/Mixes EP Rex Mix. In Late 1992 Soda Stereo Released Dynamo. This Album Although Now Regarded As A Highlight In The History Of Argentinean Rock Was Initially Soda's Most Underrated And With The Passing Of Time Has Achieved Increased And Significant Recognition. It Was Soda's Most Ambitious And Experimental Work So Far And Was Recorded Entirely At The Band's Now Self Owned Studio "Supersónico" In Buenos Aires. The Album Delved In Electronic Shoegazy And Dance-Ethereal Sophisticated Compositions. The Band Presented The Highly Experimental Record In Its Entirety In A Local Talk-Show "Fax". This Was The First Stereophonic TV Transmission In Argentina. The Band Toured Europe And Did TV Shows And Concerts In Spain And Later Again In South America. Shortly After The Tour Bassist Zeta Bosio Suffered The Loss Of His Son In A Car Accident. This Unfortunate Incident Forced The Band To Stop Touring And Promoting The Album And Sent The Trio Into A Hiatus During Which Singer Gustavo Cerati Started His Solo Career And Released His Debut Solo Album Amor Amarillo. To Add To The Confusion Dynamo Was Not Being Promoted By CBS Well And The Band Decided To Change Labels Moving To BMG. This Clearly Affected The Sales Of Dynamo As There Was No Sufficient Promotion Held By Any Of The Parts Involved. The Band's Last Studio Album Sueño Stereo Was Recorded In London And Buenos Aires And Was Released In 1995. Three Singles Became Significant Hits "Ella Usó Mi Cabeza Como Un Revolver" "Paseando Por Roma" And "Zoom" Which Samples The Guitar Lick In "Back In The New York Groove". "Sueño Stereo" Reached Platinum Disc Only 15 Days After Its Release. MTV Unplugged's Comfort Y Música Para Volar Was Released In 1996 And Contained Not Only Unplugged And Plugged Songs But Some Out-Takes From Sueño Stereo As Well. On May 1st 1997 Personal Problems Between The Members And Different Artistic Criteria Led The Band To Announce Its End And Started The Final Tour On July 1997. Their Last Concert Given On September 20th At The River Plate Stadium Was Recorded And Released In Two CD's "El Último Concierto - A & B". Comeback During 2007 After 10 Years Of The Original Split Rumours Stated That Soda Stereo Would Tour South America Before The End Of The Year. A Reunion Tour Was Finally Announced On June 9 2007 As The "Me Verás Volver" Tour "You'll See Me Return" Referring To Lyrics On Doble Vida's "En La Ciudad De La Furia" . The Tour Started At The River Plate Stadium On October 19 2007 Where They Played "El Último Concierto" In 1997. It Ended In The Same Venue On December 21 2007. Initially The Band Announced Two Concerts At River But 90.000 Tickets Were Sold In Only 24 Hours. The Band Added One More Show To The Schedule And After Three Days The Tickets For The First Three Shows Were Also Sold Out Forcing The Band To Add Two More Shows In Argentina To Complete The Local Tour. The Surprising Amount Of Fans Attending The Five Shows More Than 300 000 Made Soda Stereo's Return One Of The Most Watched Public Events In Argentina. The Situation Would Be Mirrored In All Latin America As Well. As Of 20 October 2007 22 Shows Were Confirmed Including One Show In Santiago - Chile Another In Bogotá - Colombia And Later Others In Ecuador Venezuela Perú And Panamá. Also Three Shows Were Confirmed In The United States One In The Home Depot Center In Los Angeles CA And Two In The American Airlines Arena In Miami FL. Later More Shows Were Added In Mexico And Argentina. Soda Stereo Became Then The Only Band To Have Performed More Than Five Times To A Sellout Crowd At Buenos Aires's Estadio Monumental De River In A Single Tour. "Gira Me Verás Volver" -The Supporting 2CD Album Featured Live Performances Of The Songs In All The Different Countries Of Latin America Where The Tour Went And The U.S. Together With The New Comeback Tour A Compilation Album Was Released Entitled Me Verás Volver Hits & .
