When
I
came from Lagos (Nigeria) to San Francisco (Bilbao)
life was tough here or there.
I did not mind, I had a purpose in my life:
to fight the system that fucks up everyday of our life. Back in my
hometown,
I was an unknown songwriter
but, as soon as I arrived to the streets of Bilbao, I discovered
Punk Rock.
It had energy and attitude and was exactly what I needed.
Next thing was to get a band.
I found out the most primitive drummer in Bilbao, Alberto Lopez
(ex-La Secta, ex-Yogur, ex-Atom-Rhumba), and the noisiest
guitarrists around, Mattin
& Xabier Erkizia (ex-Gutariko
Bat). The band was formed under my
name, it could not have been any other way.
These songs go beyond what rock and roll is and what it could be, in
fact they are
the degenereation of Rock&Roll against the regeneration
of Bilbao.
