Band:
BiografieOne listen to the new masters of the road El Caco and the smell of hot leather and burning rubber will return with vengeance. These Norwegian road bandits have the ability to grasp the finer elements of their influences and mould them into their own diverse sound. The band?s music is a culmination of three very talented individuals, each with a very eclectic taste in music. Inspired by the best, but never stripping themselves of their own unique identity. El Caco
Formed in Lillestrøm on the outskirts of Oslo, Norway, the three band members Øyvind Osa, Thomas Fredriksen and Anders Gjesti have been working together since 1998. Their musical abilities however, started at a much earlier age, with Anders Gjesti and Øyvind Osa performing together with a variety of drummers and different band names since their school days, before Thomas Fredriksen came into the fold, and El Caco were born.
El Caco?s debut album ?Viva?, released in 2001 and licenced to Music For Nations worldwide, received amazing reviews almost everywhere, which led to the album beeing on several critics lists of album of the year in various magazines. After playing several major festivals and various clubs throughout the year, the touring culminated in a 35 day European tour with Nebula in early 2002. This of course did nothing to ruin their reputation for being a phenomenal live band.
Last summer El Caco entered Dug-Out Productions in Sweden with producer Daniel Bergstrand (Meshuggah, In Flames) to record their follow-up album. The result of that session can be heard in early 2003, when the album is scheduled for release. It will be a diverse album, fantasticly produced, heavy and melodic at the same time, and yet again with amazing songs.
The band have outdone themselves and once again we can only say: VIVA EL CACO!

Jede Menge zu tun haben die Jungs von EL CACO derzeit. Die norwegischen Rocker haben mit "The Search" eine neue Scheibe am Start, touren sich in der Heimat den Arsch ab und werkeln auch noch in Sachen Internet herum. Es tut sich als was im Staate der Blockhäuser und Salzmargarine. Ob das auch Sänger und Bassist Øyvind Osa findet?

EL CACO, eine Band aus dem immerkalten Norwegen macht staubtrockenen Stoner Rock, man spürt die Wüste aus ihren Songs. Der Gitarrist Anders Gjesti hat sich ein bißchen Zeit für unsere Fragen gennommen.
Reviews
Stoner-Rock, das ist diese Musik, die ja angeblich so hervorragend zum Autofahren passt und an die Wüste denken lässt.
TIPP
