UTOPIANISTI - UTOPIANISTI II (2013)

La verdad es que debemos reconocer que la península escandinava maneja otro producto... desde los 70´s cualquier cosa que suene desde allá se muestra ajena y aventurada. Les vi en vivo en Guadalajara hace un mes y no decepcionaron en absoluto...

Esta segunda grabación de los finlandeses no es la excepción... calibren nomas algunos nombres con los que, incapaces, trata de colgar efímera etiqueta a los buenazos de Utopianisti:
"Pingvorinkestern, Humble Grumble, UneXpect, Atomic Ape, Major Parkinson, Knifeworld, and even the modern Univers Zero..."




Guadalajara:





Coversaaaazo de Zomby Woof!!
