Stonerrock.gr: Hello .There not so many
info in the Internet about your band so
tell us about a small biography and line up;
A
stoner rock duo ; we know many punk rock
bands with only two members but stoner not
many ,how become El Camino EP (..de nada )
recording , the first live gig ;
El Camino:
We
start at
august 2008. We wanted to play stoner
and talk about skateboarding, weed and weird
paradises. We decided to be a two piece
band (bass and drums), both of us love bands
like Om and Big Bussines... by the other
way, nobody wants to play with us...
We
were thinking in stay together just for this
summer, but we haven't anything better to
do, so here we are.
We record this first EP on a friend's
studio (was horrible but great) and the
result is "finissimo" and also he has a
swimming pool.
Our first show was in a pub under our
house in Talavera, where the drummer
works like a barman. We're just
starting, and now is when we can start
to play outside. We've the chance to
arrive to a lot of people through
internet.
Stonerrock.gr: First release (..de nada)
are available for free , there are plans to
contact with labels for the releasing in
physical format ;Have you ever have an idea
to
recording in acoustic style like , Los Natas
( toba trance ,
Ararat ) , the songs in the Ep are
quite heavy , do you add instruments in the
recording mixing ;
Tell
us the favorite sound 's records for this
summer ;
El Camino:Well,
we actually do have physical copies of
our first release, which we swap with
other bands for free. We haven’t any
plans to contact with any label, we
belong to a collective called
“Monasterio de Cultura” (Monastery of
Culture) which tries to swap and share
music as freely as we can. Our release
was paid out of our own pocket and we
try to have returns just to publish more
copies.
Recording in acoustic
style is in our future plans -right now
we are finishing our second EP, which
will be pretty much like the first one.
We record very quickly and time is
always an issue, so we really can’t
focus on little details like recording
one song in acoustic.
In our first EP we
only recorded the bass guitar with a BIG
MUFF and the drums. We included a
baglama in “Excalibur” and some other
stuff we found somewhere.
This summer we have
discovered BLACK PYRAMID, which we
loved, and there is this other band
called ELDER that’s definitely a must…
And we haven’t stopped listening to
Stoner/Doom classics…
Stonerrock.gr: Sure independent
record labels helps in these directions .Would you like to tell us ,
if audience / readers / collectors possible to order the Ep cd ;
We glad that we have news for new
album , hope to listen it soon
.There bands in Spain that you might
suggest to us , check out in these
Stoner rock scene ? and
international there are some
ambition s to perform El Camino in
some event like Road Burn ?
El Camino: Yes,
it’s possible to order the EP CD. In
www.monasteriodecultura.com
the web admins will tell people how to
place the order.
In
Spain there is a very rich Stoner
scene and it’s constantly growing. In
our opinion, one of the bands with a lot
of character and experience is MOHO,
from
Madrid. Desert Icons is another
band that’s starting and that has a
bright future ahead. In terms of Sludge,
we have CRUDO, a band we are lucky to
share our band practice space.
El Camino is available and really wants
to play in any event; Road Burn would be
really great for us, it’s something we
would like to do, to seize any
possibility to share the stage with
bands from the Stoner scene. It’s
something that we are really looking
forward to (and we would play anywhere).
Thank you very much and congratulations
for your website, we really like to know
that there are people interested in this
in an altruistic way....
Stonerrock.gr: Thanks ,we glad to
discover bands well promising like El Camino in Spain
and World wide ,and have soon news from
the new full album .
