Valencia, Capital New York (Tributo a Lou Reed / Recopilatorio 2014)

by Various Artists

about

This album was recorded at Loco Club Valencia on Lover's Day (14th Feb) in a tribute concert in which 12 bands of the Valencia scene from all genres and musical backgrounds participated to remember a common influence: Lou Reed and his music. We contributed to the show with acoustic versions as a duet and we played "Pale Blue Eyes" and "Nobody Like You". Available in the link below for download along with the whole album. Also both songs can be downloaded as a single with different artwork in our main download page.

Things always happen for a purpose. Talking about Valencia City something without precedent in the music scene of the town happened. Twelve of the best bands and music outfits gathered together in Loco Club to organize and orchestrate a tribute to Lou Reed to celebrate his passing to a better neighbourhood. Lou Reed died and unity, cooperation and a torrent of creativity took place by itself, well with the superb effort of Mariano (La Colina 45) La Gramola de Keith, Lorenzo and his team at Loco Club and all the musicians (over 40!) who made this event possible.

So far an excelent documentary has been produced with the participation of the bands and music and press personalities like Juan Vitoria (Amsterdam Records) and Remi Carreres (Glamour, Comite Cisne) among many others, you can enjoy it here...

So, ourselves? We have decided to record in our home studio the two songs that we performed live in Loco Club´s stage with the same instruments, just acoustic guitar, a dobro played with slide in Open A and the quiet heartbeat of a maracca...

We want to dedicate this work to Lou Reed for his inspiration and eternal legacy to the history of music, poetry and low life. And to all the young and old Punks, scum of society, kings and queens of the bars and street hustlers. With grace and peace.
