About Me |
|
| The Missing Leech, alter ego de Maurici Ribera. Inspirat per tota la música que ha anat posant al seu programa de rà dio al seu poble natal Sant Joan de Vilatorrada, decideix a l'any 2003 de formar part de varis grups Marràs i posteriorment The Pygars. Amb els primers va arribar a fer 11 concerts tocant amb grups internacionals com Forstella Ford, Undeclinable, Not Available... Ara és moment d'emprendre una carrera en solitari i veu de les arrels més punk del folk. Se sent identificat amb els folk de tradició punk dels inicis de Billy Bragg a Patrick Fitzgerald, de l'acid folk dels seixanta i de l'indie de Chris Knox. Música, poesia i comentaris musicals assegurats
Inici de projecte - 2007
Música - Folk punk
Després de quatre maquetes autoeditades i una en directe a La Salamndra . The Missing Leech actuarà el pròxim dia 1 de juny dins del tancament del festival Primavera Sound 2008 de Barcelona.
El cantautor de Sant Joan de Vilatorrada que practica antifolk i folk punk veu aixà la possibilitat de donar-se a conèixer. Va començar la seva carrera en solitari el passat setembre i ja ha realitzat 24 actuacions fins al moment, tenint una agenda ben apretada a seguir.
Per una altra banda, durant la Setmana Santa, va realitzar una gira pel Regne Unit i a l’estiu n’emprendrà una de més de 30 dies per Nova Zelanda que s’està acabant de perfilar, però ja compta amb 12 dates confirmades.
A més a més, en breu, actuarà de teloner de Happy Band Of Japan del Regne Unit a Mataró i de Toby Goodshank a Barcelona. Aquest darrer actualment grà cies a que la seva anterior banda, The Moldy Peaches, apareixia a la pel•lÃcula Juno (va ser nº 1 fa poc a Estats Units) i ha assolit un gran renom.------------------------------------------------------

From the ashes of Marrà s, a Punk Rock band that lasted from 2003 till 2005, Maurici Ribera, after a short stint in the The Pygars, decided to start his own and unique folk punk project in February 2007.
Marràs was a punk rock band and ska that shared stage with Undeclinable,Forstella Ford, Not Available, No More Lies between others. They released a demo in 2004 with 500 copies being sold or given and a propper single called "La Noia Marciana"/"Martian Girl" in 2005. The same year Maurici Ribera and Nat Fenoy (a musician from the same area) recorded a rehearsal demo under the name of Illexperimented in a noise rock style, full of distortion and screams.
In April 2007, Maurici Ribera released his first demo, composed of four tracks, and is only released DIY in Internet through myspace. Some shows were announed for Summer, even playing in Perpignan. The shows got cancelled so as to make sure the songs where better structured and improved. Maurici Ribera and his radio show Trilogy Rock organized a Spanish tour for Nick Garrie during Easter. Maurici sang several songs on stage with him.
In June 2007 Ponç Xercavins, the bass player of Marràs is added to the band and becomes a full time member of the project. Ponç becomes the main guitar player and offer some extra vocals to the music.
In August 2007 a second demo is recorded. This time Maurici Ribera becomes again the only member in the band.
A third demo was recorded in october and some concerts, since then have been done with great success and spreading fun had never been so easy.
In February a 4th demo is recorded and a Live demo recording at La Salamandra aswell.
March 2008 sees the musician with a busy agenda to follow and with many projects to complete and touring England for the first time.
In April 2008 He is confirmed to play at Primavera Sound Festival in June with the likes of: The Sonics,Devo,Mary Weiss, Public Enemy, Portishead or Dinosaur Jr. Between others. A New Zealand tour is scheduled for next summer in a 36 days' tour. |
