Band a Part light up our Summer


There are some bands that instantly bring a smile to your face. The duo from Madrid (thanks to WinterAcademy for introducing them to us) produce tweepop with direct influences from Stereolab, Pastels, Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura and so many other bands that we really love. Their lyrics are in Spanish so we have no clue what they are talking about, but don’t mind since it sounds so innocent and cheerful. And if all this wasn’t enough, Coral and Javi also have some really beautiful cartoons as their logos (quite appropriate). They haven’t released any records yet (still without a label last time I checked their site), only a couple of EPs (download them for free here) in 2006 (Pronostico soleado) and 2007 (No hay nada como el hogar) and some demo tracks this year. Check them out and let them make your day too.

The Team

Athens66 started off as a common project by a bunch of friends but quickly turned into almost a personal blog (although some remains of previous posts can still be found). Currently, the Team has been narrowed down to two members, who besides being old friends and schoolmates share the same joy for Music, Movies, Alcohol and Pro Evolution sessions.

The sole purpose of this blog is to shout out whatever comes in mind about movies, music, reality, fantasy and all the rest. Nothing posted here is to be taken seriously, but then again what is? Since this blog is still quite fresh, we are definitely open to suggestions and directions (although most of them will just be ignored)
