  • Thomas Pridgen on Drums
    Thomas Pridgen On Drums. Escrito por kietrece Viernes, 09 de Enero de 2009 22:15 - Actualizado Domingo, 11 de Enero de 2009 11:42 Ya hemos hablado anteriormente de The Mars Volta. Nuestro loado foro de Guitarramania.com siempre nos sorprende con nuevas noticias del mundillo, máxime teniendo un hilo de los TMV kilométrico que alberga numerosas noticias de esta banda supersónica. Anteriormente hemos tenido oportunidad de asistir a un concierto de The Mars Volta y ver a su nuevo batería en su puesto. Sin embargo no nos esperábamos una demostración de esta envergadura. Y es que nos ha sorprendido gratamente que Thomas Pridgen, batería de The Mars Volta, haya tenido la oportunidad de colgar un vídeo de estas características en la red. Una demostración de que la tecnología y el arte, la música e internet, se fusionan a diario para sorprendernos con nuevas iniciativas mediáticas. En esta ocasión se trata de un video de larga duración, donde podemos elegir qué cámara nos interesa más. La página en cuestión , con el link que os dejo a la demostración del mago Pridgen , que sin hacernos deja mucho boquiabiertos , trata los aspectos musicales, en este caso de la batería, desde un punto de vista plástico. Durante más de siete minutos nuestro hábil músico rezuma frescor y aglutina un buen número de ritmos y distintas formas de entender el mundo de la batería. No se pierdan el solo de Pridgen desde los distintos puntos de vista. Una cámara general, otra cámara aérea y otra de pie. Quizás ésta última nos da a los que no tenemos el placer de asistir a estas demostraciones de virtuosismo, la oportunidad de contemplar desde una perspectiva distinta, alucinados , cómo se mueve como pez en el agua un batería del calibre de Thomas Pridgen ( fíjense cómo se descalza del pie derecho nada más tomar asiento).

  • The Mars Volta (US)
    2007-11-21 13:53 CET The Mars Volta (US) 19 februari - Oslo, Sentrum 20 februari - Stockholm, Cirkus Om ditt inre ”bra- musik-alarm” inte går av när du ser namnen Omar Rodriguez-Lopez och Cedric Bixler-Zavala är du i gravt behov av en hälsokontroll. Det är nämligen de två genialiska männen som utgör The Mars Volta, världens kanske mest kreativt fulländade band. Rodriguez-Lopez skriver musiken och spelar gitarr och Bixler-Zavala skriver text och sjunger i det här exceptionella och egensinniga partnerskapet. 2002 släppte bandet sin första EP och sedan dess har man hunnit med allt det där vanliga som framgångsrika band gör, man turnerar, spelar in och genomlever det nödvändiga onda i mediekontakter men tillskillnad från andra projekt så urholkas inte The Mars Volta. För det som utgör särskiljningens logik i fallet Volta, är konceptualiseringen. Ja, du läste rätt. Dom gör konceptplattor, precis som alla dom där lite halv- pretentiösa banden på 70-talet älskade att göra. Första fullängdaren var en hyllning till Bixler-Zavala och Rodriguez-Lopez ungdomsårs mentor i El Paso, Texas. Deras hjälte Julio Venegas var en lokal konstnär som begick självmord 1996. På skivan, som heter ”De-Loused In The Comatorium” berättas om den fiktiva Cerpin Taxt som hamnar i koma efter ett misslyckat självmordsförsök och upplever mirakulösa händelser i sina drömmar. På platta nummer två fortsatte männen att arbeta efter sitt framgångsrecept. ”Frances the Mute” från 2005, berättar historien om Frances och protagonisten Cygnus i ett sci-fi- osande narrativ. Historien är inspirerad av texter ur en dagbok men var bara stoftet som sådde fröt till Bixler-Zavalas vilda fantasifoster.

  • The Mars Volta Färdiga Med Efterlängtat Studioalbum, Noctourniquet Släpps Via Warner Bros
    2012-02-01 10:00 CET The Mars Volta färdiga med efterlängtat studioalbum, Noctourniquet släpps via Warner Bros. den 28 mars. Noctourniquet blev till i klassisk Mars Volta stil, Omar Rodriquez-Lopez och Cedrik Bixler-Zavala har skrivit text och musik. Albumet producerades av Omar Rodriquez-Lopez. Det tretton låtar långa verket innehåller utsvävningar och nya ljudbilder för bandet som nu har skapat tillsammans i tjugo år. Det spektrum av musikaliska och känslomässiga texturer som albumet är uppbyggt av är skapade av Rodriquez-Lopez. Från det bombastiska öppningsspåret “The Whip Hand” till de hotfulla tonerna från “Malkin Jewel” som avbryts med hypnotiska melodier. Det djärva mångfaldet i det nya materialet i kombination med Rodriquez-Lopez säkra hand bakom spakarna banar ny väg för bandet. Noctourniquet är Mars Volta’s mest självsäkra och raffinerande föreställning hittils. Som tidigare är Bixler-Zavala’stexter en komplicerad blandning av en resa i det okända, inspirerade av bland annat åttiotalets brittiska rockscen, Stålmannens nemesis Solomon Grundy och den grekiska mytologins Hyacinthus. Mars Volta har vunnit en Grammy för “Best Hard Rock Performance” för låten Wax Simulacra 2009, och har utnämnts till bästa prog rockband av tidningen Rolling Stone. De har spelat i Sverige åtta gånger, varav en gång som förband till Red Hot Chili Peppers. Mars Volta är: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Cedric Bixler-Zavala Juan Alderete de la Pena Marcel Rodriguez Lopez Deantoni Parks Tracklist: 1. The Whip Hand 2. Aegis 3. Dyslexicion 4. Empty Vessels Make The Loudest Sound 5. The Malkin Jewel 6. Lapochka 7. In Absentia 8. Imago 9. Molochwalker 10. Trinkets Pale Of Moon 11.

  • Noctourniquet Album Downloaded the Mars Volta: Every Album Ranked from Worst to Best
    noctourniquet album downloaded The Mars Volta: Every album ranked from worst to best. Although The Mars Volta disbanded some 14 years ago, their entire discography has been released in a lavish 18 -LP vinyl boxset titled La Realidad de los Sueños, which chronicles the band’s six extraordinary albums in excruciating detail. And this is just the excuse we need to reappraise every album by the El Paso experimentalists. The prog rock band, led by vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala and guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López, disbanded in 2013 , when Cedric and Omar reformed their previous band At The Drive-In. Rumours persist, however, that The Mars Volta will reform or already have, with Cedric alluding to it on Twitter in 2019 . When pushed to elaborate, the vocalist suggested: ​ “ What it’s NOT going to be is your ​ ‘ fav member line-up’ playing their ​ ‘ classic records’ in full etc. Maybe we’ll play old shit, who knows how we feel.” That was two years and a global pandemic ago, though, so who knows whether their reconnection will still go beyond the caretaking of their reissues to new material and live dates. While we wait in hope, let’s return to the task of ranking the band’s albums and a piece of small print. While we’ve explored their qualities, we haven’t delved into the respective concepts, because a) they deserve expansive word counts all to themselves, b) they’re often impenetrable, and c) they don’t have a lasting role in how good the music is – who, for instance, declares: ​ ‘ I hate the album but love the concept?’ So with that clarified, let’s dive in… 6.
