To my ears

I have plenty of bands in my head right now, but there´s one i always follow by different bars in Santiago. They create songs in english with all this indie rock style shipped directly from england. And the good news is that they are from Chile, so when i always feel the need of having a good concert, i don´t need to waste a lot of money with bands like Radiohead, The killers or any of them.

I´ve been listening this band for two years more or less, and they have mutated i think since the first day i listened them. 

At the first time they called themselves "The grand". But there was another band with that name in  other country. So they changed it to "We are the grand". That change in the name came together with a change in their style. And now i like them more.

I met them at the first time reading the magazine Rolling Stone, because there was an interview of the vocalist. His name is Sebastian Gallardo and he studied to be a musician in Uniacc at the first time, but then he went to england to study in a very important university of performing arts.

So when i finished reading all the interview, i went to youtube and i search them. They were so good that i listened they first EP all afternoon.

The rest of the members of the band are really talented, and of course that´s the reason of why "We are the grand" had a lot of success. Actually, last year they were invited from Lotus productions to participate in Santiago biggest concert ever, i´m talking of Lollapalooza. And as you may be thinking i was there.

I dind´t mention that since the first day i met them till now they have created 2 EP´s and one LP (longplay), so jaja it is a very hard task to determine one song as my favourite since I have a lot of songs of them in my playlist. 

But anyways, i think my favourite song of them is "Perfume". I´m leaving here the link of the song played in the late show of Julio Cesar Rodriguez, also known as "Siganme los buenos"

I don´t know why exactly i like it more than the rest of the songs. But i think that many of the reasons of why, are related with the rhythm and the lyrics. They get mixed in a singular way that makes my heart rate just fly.

I can´t stop mentioning  that in one of the gigs i went from WATG (We are the grand), i met this other band i also follow. They call themselves "Intimate Stranger"...and they impressed me. Here i leave the link of a interesting video called "El horizonte".
