Basque gig

category dublin | arts and media | event notice author Wednesday April 18, 2007 18:49author by Réabhloid Report this post to the editors

Basque political rock band touring Ireland

Berri Txarrak, the currently best rock band in the Basque Country and one of the best in the Spanish State, will be striking Ireland from the 25th to the 29th of April.

This will be their second tour here after last year's successful one.

They are welknown for their support to different struggles such as self-determination right, political prisoners, environmental, anti-globalization, antifascism...and they'll be playing at the anti G8 summit in Germany.

” The music is a mixture of alternative rock, punk, hardcore, metal and some amazing melodies. Band-wise, I think a mixture of Burning Heads and Helmet would be a good description. It has easier melodic parts mixed with full-throttle metal guitars, and very fast drumming and a distinctive European-only edge.” www.Punknews.org

Berri Txarrak won three “Gazte sariak” 2006 awards when the most important Basque radio station Euskadi Gaztea made a review of the best Basque music bands of the year.

Berri Txarrak was nominated in three categories and they won all of them:

“Best band of the year”, “Best album of the year” for “Musika. Jaio.Hil” and “Best live show of the year”.

They won the same three categories in the Spanish prestigious magazine Rockzone’s 2005 awards and in Rock Estatal’s 2005’s review the Spanish rock specialized press awarded them as the best rock album but in these two cases now as the best rock band in the whole Spanish State.

Their fifth and last album at the moment, “Musika.Jaio.Hil”,was recorded in August 2005 and was produced by famous Ed Rose producer as well of Kurt Cobain, The Get Up Kids or Motion City Soundtrack in the USA.

You can listen to some of the last album’s tracks at: http://www.myspace.com/berritxarrak

Berri Txarrak have been playing in different countries around the world such as USA, Mexico, Germany, UK, Switzerland, Spain supporting bands like Deftones and the most recent Rise Against! European Tour’06 with great success.

They will be playing in Ireland the last week of April at the end of their Asian & European Tour 2007 and they’ll be supported by Derry’s finest Fightingwithwire.

Great to see Basques having a music industry & a modern one as well with electric guitars, samplers and amps. They've really got a lot to teach us Irish - we should learn. How did they manage to skip the showband? famine ballad? big Ronnie Drew beards? (indebted we are to langerland for so well describing the history of Irish Music -http://langerland.com/content/view/80/59/ )
But just think the noble Basque avoided all that. They went straight from inventing the bagpipes to beating musical sounds out of bulls to lead the world in punk-angst antisystem rock to this. The here and now. The cutting edge of an assuredly unforgetable night. "Even dafyd the normally rabidly anti-iranian had a good time and was seen very discreetly offing it away home with a young man of colour." Yes. This gig was so good it's impossible to predict in any other way than the grammar of legend, myth and watershed - the past tense.
I'm not BP bleeding fallon I'm anti-Shell pro Fanon & whenever I listen to basque music - my feet start tapping and my head starts bopping. It's brill. Better than Grand - they do love. they do happiness. they do sadness. they do being young. They do Music. They do communication.
If you do nothing else this year or have nothing else in your calender - make sure you go see this group. & you know they keep the lights down so the state of your lips won't matter.
