Introduce yourself…
We are "Los Bizzarros", an Argentinean punk rock band that was born in,
Capital Federal, Buenos Aires.
Our band is integrated by Ezequiel (drums), Dino (vocals), Matías (lead
guitar and backing vocals), and Ariel (bass guitar).
How did the band start?
The band started in 2001. We used to play in underground places from Buenos
Aires, but unfortunately, by the year 2007, the band broke up, and it is in
the year 2009 that we got together again with some new members. From that
moment, we are very enthusiastic with the band, and we are playing all the
time and making new songs.
How did you come up with the name?
The name of the band, came up of "Mondo Bizarro" album released by The
Ramones.
Who would you say are your influences?
At the beginning of the band formation, our main influence was The Ramones.
They were the band which consolidated our music style and our sounds.
However, there are many other bands that influenced us at the time of
making songs, such us Kiss, The Kinks, Beach Boys, Buzzcocks, among others.
What is the punk scene like in Argentina?
The punk scene in Argentina is quite new, indeed. It comes from the 80’s
because it was during that decade that very important punk rock bands, such
as Los Violadores, were born. Moreover, during the 90’s The Ramones visited
our country so many times, and it was at that moment when the Argentinean
punk scene rose incredibly. The Ramones influenced the formation of many
new bands in our country, and the 90’s was also the decade in which
thousands of foreign bands came to Argentina. Nowadays, there are too many
bands playing punk rock, but it is not a massive music style – only the
bands that are consolidated from many years, such as Los Violadores, are
the ones that have more repercussion.
Describe the song writing process...
Generally, Ezequiel is the one who writes the majority of our songs. Once
he writes one, he performs it in a small home studio that we have, and
then, he shows us how the song would sound. After that, all the members of
the band give their contribution to that song in order to improve it or to
complement it, until the moment we all agree that the song is finished and
finally, we start to play it in our studio.
What have you released?
We have only edited one LP in 2007. It was released by the band itself, but
nowadays, it is out of catalogue and we hope that in a couple of years it
was turned into an item-collector! LOL
Who are some of the bands you have done shows with?
We have shared stage with Marky Ramone in two opportunities and several
Argentinean bands such as Cadena Perpetua, 2 Minutos, and Expulsados.
We always try to perform with bands that we like and admire. That’s why we
believe that if we perform with those kinds of bands, fun and enjoyment is
guaranteed!
Do you prefer to do shows at large venues or small clubs?
We always prefer to perform in a big stage due to the fact that we can show
all the potential of the band in a better way. Better venues implicate
better PA, better sound systems, better audio quality, etc. However, we
believe that playing in small venues is a very good thing too, because we
can have all our fans near us enjoying every song of our show.
Have you toured?
Last year, we have been to Uruguay twice, and we have also visited some
Argentinean cities such as Mar del Plata (300Km away from the capital of
Buenos Aires) and some provinces such as Córdoba and Santa Fé. We always
have the idea of touring all our country and America, but it is a bit
complicated because of distances. There is too much distance between cities
and sometimes, we cannot trust producers that we don’t know. Once we have
recorded our new material, we have the idea of touring, so we hope we can
achieve that dream!
Is there a favourite band you like to do shows with?
We like performing with friend bands, such as Los Dukes, Sarcasmo,
Diasepunk and Cuatro lados (from Uruguay).
Is there a favorite place you like to do shows at?
Yes, there are several places that we like to perform shows at. For
instance, El Especial and The Roxy are our favourite ones, but we hope that
soon we could perform shows at the Madison Square Garden! LOL
What do you see is the future of Los Bizzarros?
Our next show will be on November 19th, and it will be the last show of
this year. After that show, we will focus on the record of our next EP – we
will count with the artistic and executive production of Alejandro Taranto,
who was producer of very popular bands such as Los Fabulosos Cadillacs,
A.N.I.M.A.L., Infierno 18, among others. Our new album will be recorded in
a high level studio and we hope to exceed all our expectations because
having an international high quality audio it’s not typical for an
underground band, and we are glad to have this possibility. At this moment,
we are finishing the pre-production of our new songs and we are also
rehearsing all the time so that we can be at that studio and record our new
material.
