- Bombones
Spanish pop band formed by Juan Azagra (Juano) vocals and
guitar , Francisco Barroso (Francis)guitar , Isidro Lucuix bass, Carlos Moreno keyboard andsynthesizer s and Miguel Ángel Campos (Goyo) drums.History
Bombones was born in
Seville , (Spain ), in early 2000s, where due to the love of the music that characterize both Juano and Goyo (working in arecord store ), they decided to join with Francis and Eduardo "Pollito" (former bass player) to play unusual power-pop covers, likeMatthew Sweet ,Velvet Crush orRedd Kross .Gradually, the own compositions began to take prominence in their set list. This concluded with the recording of a demo in 2002 at the Central Studio in
Seville . The title that labels this first work was “Mary Jane EP”. Five songs and one re-mix were included. “Mary Jane”, the one that it would become first single of the band, it was one of the themes you could find in the EP.On October 2003, Bombones became finalist of the national demo competition organized by
Rock Indiana . The result was obtained thanks to the popular voting by Internet. Eventually, the group was winning after a hard-fought final at the Moby Dick club in Madrid, and they took the first prize: recording a LP with the organizing record label of the contest, Rock-Indiana.On February 2004, the band arrived at the Paco Loco’s studio in
Puerto de Santa Maria , trying to sign one of the best records within the Spanish pop panorama. After a week Bombones defied any expectation with a contemporary pop disc, approaching bands likeFountains of Wayne orFarrah .Discography
