¿¿¿(Pero) qué tiene que ver... * Los Beatles con los dibujos animados propagandísticos de la URSS. * Los Latin Kings con los Sex Pistols. * La toma del Palacio de Invierno con Mad Men. ¿Y con Kiss? * Las estrellas del rock con los samuráis. * La rock star drogadicta con la redención cristiana. * Las drogas consumidas en la SGM con el hippismo. * Oscar Wilde con Mick Jagger. * Los cigarrillos con los teléfonos inteligentes. * La nostalgia con la hipnosis y con la obsolescencia programada. * La longevidad de los Rolling Stones con la culpa en el matrimonio católico. * Las carátulas de discos con las contraseñas masónicas. * Los gremios de artesanos preindustriales con las escenas locales del underground. * James Brown con un bróker de Wall Street. * Los buhoneros con los cantaurores. * La Velvet Underground con Apple Inc. Corporation??? Solo Ian Svenonius, el reverendo del underground mundial, el timonel de la independencia artística, responde a estas y otras muchas preguntas, en una ambiciosísima guía para montar una banda de rock que funciona también como ensayo sociológico y como panfleto antiautoritario. El líder de The Make-Up sabe que “la música es como el tacto, la comida o la banca escapa a toda explicación”. Porque solo hay una forma de explicar lo usando la magia.

About the author

Ian F. Svenonius

12 books96 followers
Ian Svenonius is an American musician, notable as the singer and mouthpiece of various Washington, D.C.-based music groups including The Nation of Ulysses, The Make-Up, Weird War, and Chain and the Gang. With his projects, Svenonius has released more than 15 full-length albums and more than 20 singles, EPs, and splits. Svenonius is also a published author and an online talk show host.

Svenonius’ first band, The Nation of Ulysses, formed in 1988, and were influential in the early Washington D.C. punk scene. The band broke up in 1992 after failing to record their third studio album. After a short-lived side-project called Cupid Car Club, Svenonius formed The Make-Up in 1995, who combined garage rock, soul, and a so-called “liberation theology” to make a new genre they dubbed “Gospel Yeh-Yeh.” The Make-Up dissolved early in 2001, and a year later, Svenonius formed the band Weird War, who were also known briefly as the Scene Creamers. Svenonius’ solo work includes the 2001 album Play Power under the fictional pseudonym of David Candy, the book The Psychic Soviet, and as host of Soft Focus on VBS.tv. Svenonius’ projects and writings have all shared an anti-authoritarian, populist, tongue-in-cheek political agenda.
