Buen Chico 250

My made-up Biog about the Buen Chico, based on the album:

I picture a quiet Virginia evening drinking Mickys Big Mouth on the porch and a blond man coming back from taking pictures of down syndrome weddings and decides in am moment of inspiration should all go downstairs learn instruments and form a band. Our first big break would come when that first track gets ended up used in some indie film like Napoleon dynamite 3D the witching years which also proves to be the surprise hit of the summer and in turn goes global taking us with it.

That would be my biog of the band having not bothered to read the real one….

One Google search later, and apparently it went more like this:

One sunny summer afternoon in 2003, Morgan met Kirsty in Leeds and they went for a drink. She lied about liking Weezer and knowing her scales and he didn't talk much. A brand new friendship was born - but a piece of the puzzle was missing. As if by magic Alan came along a few weeks later via a complex series of events including swing jazz, stag dos and Leeds' now defunct Sponge Rehearsal Studios. Now we all live together as one big happy band.

Tracks I like are generally the more bolschy ones.

'Great Pleasure' - the rest of the album has a distinct US indie pop vibe – This chestnut is almost Queens of the Stone Age. I imagine more so when played live.

 

'Laying Down The Law' - like riffs, like this song - pretty much as simple as that.

 

Drip Drip Tick Tock - this is almost a Virgin Radio-friendly track, but enjoy it can imagine jumping around in a field to it.

At times it is all too whimsical for my tastes with 'Gold From Lead' – not in the mood for fey although has a lovely rhythm change in it. D'on’t Lose Your Faith in Goodwill' doesn’t get the good will rolling from me either – although a good rolling guitar sound.

One thing I did notice in general is that the Mastering is really obnoxious on the recording… With all the levels pushed to the maximum almost all the time. On often what are sometimes very sensitive tracks – Lurch is a perfect example of this.

 

Look - a video!
