MMXI by ChUPACONChA, the Italian duo based in Barcelona with the unmistakable lineup of just trumpet and drums, had been a fresh revelation of the alternative Spanish circuit. Juice revolutionizes in the true sense of the word his electric trumpet through a dazzling series of effects, getting freak and kaleidoscopic sounds that blend with the solid grooves of Jordan’s drumming, all played in a hypnotic crescendo, with the constant thrill of improvisation and a rock fury.
ChUPACONChA is a hypnofunk duo formed by Juice (Giuliano Gius Cobelli, electric trumpet) and Jordan (Giorgio Fausto Menossi, drums). The band started in 2007 when the two Italian musicians met again in Barcelona after having briefly collaborated in Italy. Both jazz and hippie lovers, they mix improvised rock, funk, psychedelic and electronic music in wild and furious sessions and concerts.
Led by powerhouse vocalist AJ Haynes, Louisiana band Seratones serve up a sweltering mix of hard rock, soul, and blues. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 28, 2019
