Come celebrate the end of our second year with a mega party and Klaus&Kinsky. The story of Klaus&Kinski, which already comprises three records after the release of “Tierra, trágalos” in April 2010, started unintentionally when Marina let Alejandro convince her to sing a Beatles cover to try out his home-based studio, which he set up in the summer of 2005.
Taking advantage of this chance, they recorded some other covers and, as they were at it, they continued with their own songs, specifically the ones written by Alejandro Martínez, who composes, arranges and produces all Klaus&Kinski’s music.
People who know him well say that Alex is part of that new generation seduced by technology, and it is certainly true, but it also should be pointed out that he is one of the most talented composers of that generation within the independent pop scene.
His guitar skills are as well known as his talent to find the right people to help him, all of which made Klaus&Kinski one of the discoveries of the 2008/09 season, thanks also to such brilliant records as their first Jabalina releases: their debut album “Tu hoguera está ardiendo” (November 2008) and the miniCD “Por qué no me das tu dinero” (May 2009), which allowed them do an extensive tour which proved their ability to connect with the public, an aspect of the band which is clearly determined by singer Marina, who takes her role with the panache of a spokeswoman willing to share with the audience her experiences and those of the rest of Klaus&Kinski, whose current line-up includes Marina Gómez Carruthers (vocals), Alejandro Martínez Moya (guitars), Paco Martínez Tomás (bass), Antonio de Vicente-Yagüe (keyboards and sequencers) and Pilar Crespo (violin).
