From punk to medieval glam... Tina Gil's story -a short but an intense
one- is that of a real damned artist. Gil, former singer of Sentido
Común -a post-punk group from Barcelona- started in the mid-90's,
a brief solo career that is hoped to be renewed soon. She started
to play in 1994 (being "armed" only with her electric guitar and
a ruptured in between of the whisper and the moan) in many different
locals in Barcelona, using a different name in each concert: El
As de Picas, L'os Cervell, and, of course, her own name, Tina Gil.
It was then when she recorded her demo "9 Canciones de Amor y Muerte"
("9 Songs of Love and Death"; however, it contains 14 instead of
9 themes). Soon after, her theme "Pondré a Prueba tu Amor" was included
in the compilatory CD "Noise Club Uno" , published by Por Caridad
Producciones.
Her songs are equally performed in Catalan, Spanish or English,
full of mysterious backgrounds, exaggerated feelings and dramatism.
Musically speaking, Gil plays a blend of glam-rock (Bowie and Bolan
together in the punk mixer), medieval tunes and astral and sick
pop. It is a real, unique and not transferable microcosm that was
hardly understood by the audience.
Her album "Tina Gil 1", produced by Victor Nubla, was published
between 1995 and 1996 and included a version of Bowie's "Ashes to
Ashes". An irregular work that made us thinking about a more complete
and definitive continuation that, nonetheless, has not arrived yet.

MURIENDO POR TU AMOR
Yo estoy muriendo por tu amor
Pero tú no puedes ser
Para mí un hombre gentil
No quieres invitarme a bailar
No quieres invitarme a salir
Y no me queda más remedio -no-
Que el de quedarme en casa
Muriendo por tu amor
Muriendo por tu amor
Muriendo por tu amor
Sabiendo que estás
Donde a mí me gustaría estar
Mientras los celos y la envidia
Bailan a tu alrededor
Al mismo tiempo que las chicas
Al mismo tiempo que tus fans oh.no!
Muriendo por tu amor
Muriendo por tu amor
SUMMER
Summer
Is time of love and lovers
Summer
Is time of passions
But I still love you
I can't forget your body
I can't forget your soul
I can't stop dreaming about you
What can I do
If I still love you?
What can I do
If you don't wanna stay with me?
What can I do
If I can't forget you?
What can I do
If you don't wanna love me?
SUN
Sun
Is going down
And I feel you goes too
Sun
Is going down
I'm so sad...
My soul is broken
'cos I'm thinking
You goes forever sun
Is going down
And I feel you goes with it
My heart
Is going down too
'cos I feel you goes with it
Sun is going down

PONDRE A PRUEBA TU AMOR
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Si me susurras que me amas
Te sonreiré
Si me dices que me amas
Te acariciaré
Si me juras que me amas
Te encadenaré
Si me haces saber que me amas
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Y quizá te haga daño
Y quizá te haga sufrir
Y quizá sea cruel
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Pondré a prueba tu amor
Pondré a prueba tu amor
PERO NO PARA TI
Oprimiéndome estoy
En el puño del mundo
Con la muerte estoy jugando
Pero no por tí
Que en un trono que no es tuyo
Sentado estás acusando y...
Sé que soy la reina
¿La reina? ¿Qué reina?
La reina que reina
En mi lugar verde azul...
Desgastándome estoy
En donde la sangre corre
A la muerte estoy ganando
Pero no para tí
Que en un trono que no es tuyo
Sentado estás condenando y...
WHO WILL DANCE ON MY BLOOD?
Who had cryed my eyes?
Who broke my heart?
Had you ou ou oh ah...
Who will dance on my blood?
Will you ou ou oh ah
But I know
Something that you
Don't know
What do you want?
What do you need?
What do you search?
What do you feel?
I know it's love

"...only her voice and her guitar appear. And they
are enough to break us down.../... Love, sadomasochism, depression,
life and death." (Alex Flores - MONDO SONORO)
"A cry seeming a whisper in the immesity of a
Gothic cathedral." (Tom Violence - RUTA 66)
"Cheek, reverberation, rage, sweetness, mystery,
passion, minimalism..." (Javier Corral - LA RIA
DEL OCIO - BILBAO)
"She sings and plays her own story with a courage
that frightens..." (Luis Pons - RUTA 66)
"...the result perturbs specially in those moments
when Tina Gil's voice seems a moan threatening us from the bottom
of a well.../... Glam-rock, rhythm'n'blues, folk and the traditional
melodies are, on her hands, remote references that need to be profaned."
(Jordi Bianciotto - ROCK DE LUX)
