In 1989 Cerdos (Pigs) one appeared as an eccentric band of noise/blues-punk/industrial specially characterized of a side by the combination of electric guitars and electronic bases and the other by texts and monothematic titles: pornography, meat, dirt, blood and entrails of pig...
The origin of Cerdos goes back at the end of 1988 when three of the members of the independent label Triquinoise Producciones (Ignacio Menéndez, the ex-Monaguillosh Jaime Munárriz and C-666, also known as Javier Piñango) they parallelly create to this one a new group of which they will be the central nucleus extended in precise collaborations by the guitarist Javier Rodríguez.
The method creative self-imposed, which he is in reality the one that gives origin to the group, will finish decisively marking his sound, until the point to make always work the concept over own music in himself. This produces unequal results. But also it gives a originality them in a while -final of the 80's- in which few Spanish groups of noisy guitars came near to the world of the electronics. They themselves explained this sonorous assembly and the method of composition/recording in the press leaf of their only LP ("Cerdos", Triquinoise, 1990): "the songs of this LP have been composed, recorded and produced (each one) in a single day. A new form to work. Combining the new technologies (midi, sampler...) with all the virtues of the traditional system. The improvisation like method, fleeing from the forced perfection. The energy of bluesmen, recorded in a simple tape recorder." All it using electric guitars, rhythm-box, bass and sequenced bass, analogic synthesizers, computer and voices, used indifferently by the three fixed members of the group.
At the end of 1990 they make several performances presenting the album and they shut in during two days in a field house to record their second work "Live en el Matadero", published only in cassette format: a collection of songs and sequences with echoes of The Residents, spasmodic punk, mongoloid folk, psychedelic trance and sonorous-mental distortion...
In 1991 the group separates. One year later Javier Piñango joined Mil Dolores Pequeños, recording three LPs with them. In 1994 Piñango and Jaime Munárriz create a new project called Destroy Mercedes: electronic and psychedelic sounds, an intermediate point between Suicide and Syd Barrett. On the other hand Ignacio Menéndez would also publish in those days a new instrumental album of guitars under the name of Tu Puta Madre ("Tus Muertos Underground", CD, Triquinoise, 1994).

COLA DE CERDO

Cabezas afeitadas para frotarse con pieles de serpiente
garras de halcones que acarician la nariz
las cejas goteando sangre de lombrices
orugas mariposas ratas orejas de oro
el cuello atravesado por barrotes
dardos clavos y navajas
un par de tetas disecadas
los brazos envueltos en orquídeas
ríos de cemento hongos
una gran tripa empolvada de azul
el sexo de murciélagos y goteras entre las piernas
y clavos y un manto de seda
rubís y la gran cola de cerdo  


SCI-FI BLUES

Me he visto antes bendiciendo la última cena
con mi docena de guarras dándome de beber
vino tinto y drogas que huelen a petróleo.
Es medianoche, luce el sol sobre la ciudad.
La cena termina, estoy en un motel
no me preguntes cuál
está a treinta manzanas
a treinta kilómetros
a treinta horas de alguna parte.
Es medianoche, explota el sol ¿y qué?
El motel es marciano
hay arañas sin atmósfera
y una foto de Brian Jones al fondo de la habitación
"Hola gilipollas, ¿quién se acuerda de tí?"
le escupo... le escupo... le escupo...
Mientras duermo enciendo y apago luces
bebo líquidos pringosos, como carne silvestre
estudio el vuelo, la velocidad del sonido
la precisión de un revólver.
Es medianoche, el sol apunta dispara a la ciudad.
Es medianoche, el sol se fue a joder al prójimo.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
   
 
 


"Free and experimental sounds that end up becoming obsessive and mutant rhythms that wakes up the primary instincts of the listener." (José Boix - RUTA 66)

"Cerdos base their sonorous speech on the improvisation on mini bases rock, and their songs turn around a substantial monothematic triangle: pigs, pornography and food...//... From Derribos Arias we did not have counted with a so undisciplined band." (Dr. Pork - RUTA 66)
