The Cheese:
Els Conills Salten La Bardissa

Arnau and Mau of Les Aus, Ozono Kids fame back in 2004 Guitar and drum angular scratchy rock time with fast stuff and exciting bits recorded and in Barcelona. I met these guys when they were living in Philadelphia and we played a show at noon in the Atheneum Warehouse space. People were just lying around hung over and generally ignoring my band and then the Cheese. I only got to see them play for a little while cause we had to go. But from that moment we have been long distance friends and we hang out when I go to Barcelona. I think you would like this stuff as much as I do. Its really good!
