LIGRE : A DIFFERENT FEELING THAT
STILL YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIMENTED
The kind listening of a LIGRE disc is a experience that does not leave
indifferent, like the feline del that takes their name, are the result
of a mixture, a crossing of influences that according to same them
goes from Lennon and McCartney to Belle & Sebastian, happening
through Brian Wilson, Byrds, Kinks, Neil Young, Love or Blur and leaving
to us the strictly musical thing, Gaudí, Stanley Kubrick, Richard
Lester, the Marx Brothers or even The Muffets. To listen Ligre is.....
a different feeling that still you have not experimented.
A SHORT STORY
The band was formed in Elche (Spain) in September of 2000, the two
first years happen defining the formation that finishes being a quartet,
outlining a sound that it identifies to them, recording several demos
and acting with frequency.
On December 2002 and with the demo "Retorno a los bosques"
LIGRE they begin to call the attention of musical press as. Rock of
Lux, Toxicosmos and El Pais de las Tentaciones that catalogues to
them like one of the best new bands. "One of the perseverantes,
and so that no, better bands but of our only demo scene" (moonplacefanzine.com)
With the next one "Tu Voz Cansada", press keep on being
encouraging: "Average dozen of beautiful songs that, delicately
fixed, adhere to the listener thanks to addictive melodies and to
a pompous and distinguished instrumentation" (monocromo.org).
During 2003 they are finalists of the constest Villa de Bilbao and
3º place of the Ampli of Barcelona, they play with the Californian
band The Tyde in Valencia, and with The Sunday Drivers and Fangoria
among others.
“Ligre is a group indie with letters in Spanish that you cannot
be lost. They come near to the pop one of the 60’s without letting
of side the most acid rock neither forget the fragility and the English
romanticism the more new wave "(La Furgoneta Azul).
