hello cuca uk tour

h e l l o . c u c a

"our songs are secret love messages. a few verses from the heart in the rock'n'roll tradition." murcia, spain's hello cuca take the rock'n'roll 'do-ron-ron' and twist an impassioned and wiry surf-grrrl-garage noise around it's very soul. lidia's guitar ferociously winding it's way through and around the almost-hypnotic, stripped-down rhythm of alfonso's maraca-fed drums and mabel's wandering, nonchalant bass. the spine-tingling, spanish-tougued vocals shift from powerful KATHLEEN HANNAH-like breathless crys to clipped, confident LILLIPUTT-esque yelps. all the while, the twang and clatter of LINK WRAY meets the raw and passion-led repetition of early-JOY DIVISION; the fired-up urgency of RIOT GRRRL meets the determined struggle of a half-century-full of GIRLS IN THE GARAGE, combining in a SOCK-HOP-DANCE-FIESTA - a floor-shaking garage-rock revolution.

counting most of the u.s. indie-rock-elite (bratmobile, calvin johnson, frumpies, french toast, weird war etc) amongst their most devoted fans, hello cuca were recently invited to appear at olympia's YEAH! FEST! an album, gran sur is out now on their own ROMPEPISTAS label, and in the u.k. on leed's GO JONNY GO GO GO GO records.
