IdeaMe is an online platform, which helps creators, be they inventors, artists, or designers, among others, to finance their projects through crowd funding. Each week, the Indy features and promotes one project every week, with the aim of helping the creators finance and achieve their dreams. This week: Bandalos Chinos.
Since 2009, Bandalos Chinos has come to define the word “fusion.”
Paying tribute to the classic sounds of Argentine rock bands — the guys peg Luis Alberto Spinetta, founder of Almendra, as a tremendous musical influence — Bandalos Chinos incorporate a solid rock n’ roll beat. The gritty grunge glam of British indie rock gives Bandalos Chinos a bit of spunk, while a particularly fun and energetic pop vibe and a catchy funkadelic beat transform the band’s tunes into something truly unique.
Three years in the making, Bandalos Chinos admits to a simple beginning marked by acoustic arrangements. Over time, however, the group has explored and developed their sound into what it is today.
Five musicians make up Bandalos Chinos: Matia Verduga on drums, Palo Travaglini on bass guitar, Iñaki Colombo on guitar, Tomas Verduga on guitar and vocals, and Goyo Degano on keyboard and voice.
Degano’s voice is effortlessly smooth and rich, while the guitars’ wah-wah pedal effect projects the band’s inner classic rock.
Bandalos Chinos are in the process of recording and releasing their first album. They started recording on 11th November of last year, with Mariano Oliva. After finishing recording this past May, they are currently in the editing and mixing stages, along with the help of Sergei Grosny. But, because they lack the funds to produce the master disc and copies, they are reaching out for potential donations with IdeaMe.
In return, Bandalos Chinos are thanking donors with digital copies of their CD, tickets to live performances, and meet & greets with band members.
i already bought my cd so i truly hope they reach the goal!
go bandalos! nice sound
