Me enteré de que tocan dentro de muy poco (9 y 10 de octubre en Blow Job Bar) pero no conseguí información del toque... por eso hago el post, para los que ya la conocen se enteren y los que no la conozcan..
Discografía:
Sólo Quiero Salir de Aquí (1991) - Instinto Salvaje (1992) - Asesinos (1994) - A Miles de Kms. de Acá (1997)
Resumen:
Los inicios de Cross datan de 1984, y la banda emerge como uno de los primeros exponentes de la escena heavy metal local.
La actitud visceral de su líder y cantante, Marcelo Cross, la crudeza de sus letras que hablaban de la mísera realidad de muchos jóvenes del momento, sin pasado y sin futuro, en un país devastado que intentaba ver la luz tras la cruenta dictadura, no tardaron en hacer mella en un público ávido de volumen y de una voz que los represente, así Cross prontamente cobró status de culto.
Fueron estas mismas las razones que situaron a la banda en la vereda opuesta a la temerosa industria discográfica post dictadura que finalmente editó su primer trabajo “Sólo Quiero Salir de Aquí”. En formato cassette siete años después en 1991.
En 1992, se edita su segundo trabajo oficial “Instinto Salvaje” , con una nueva formación y con una nueva propuesta, la banda evoluciona hacia el killer rock , el raw power y la psicodelia, franqueado el acceso hacia el público de una nueva generación y manteniendo su vigencia durante los ’90.
En 1994 se edita en una tirada súper limitada y en forma absolutamente independiente el tercer trabajo “Asesinos”
De la misma forma y por primera vez en formato CD “A Miles de Kms. De Acá” en 1997 con una nueva formación que incluye a “Walo” Crespo en batería (luego en Motosierra) y José Luis Aguilera en bajo.
A mediados de 1998 la banda decide separarse, la hostilidad del medio y la eterna negación de las discográficas locales no dejan muchas opciones. Sin embargo los años no pasaron en vano y Cross mantuvo su vigencia aún en ausencia e incrementó su fama de banda maldita y de culto, trascendiendo generaciones y modas.
Ocho años después, en el 2006, Cross vuelve al ruedo, esta vez como cuarteto, con los miembros de su última formación más la adición de Martín González (String Bombs) como segunda guitarra.
Tras exitosas presentaciones siempre a sala llena durante el 2007 y 2008, Cross volvió para quedarse, honrando su pasado y proyectándose hacia el futuro.
encontré esta bio en la página de Marcelo Cross que está buenisima pero está en inglés
For a better understanding of Cross story you need to know the context in which it took place. Uruguay is a small South American country that has frontiers with Argentina and Brazil.In the early '60's, as a result of the British Invasion phenomena (like in the rest of the America) Uruguayan kids formed their own garage rock bands, such as Los Mockers ( a band known by collectors all over the world and whose records have been recently released by different labels,but they have been curiously fully forgotten in their own country) and Los Shakers, among others.All this movement was finally smashed and buried by the cruel military dictatorships that devastated most of South American countries during '70's.Finally democracy came back in 1984 and brought freedom of speech, the one that allowed the revival of that spirit lost so many years ago. And so lots of bands appeared, Cross among them.In the very beginning Cross was a heavy metal band, one that stood out among other bands of the kind because of its punk lyrics and its dirty attitude. It took five years to get the first record, as the existing record companies were still influenced by the fear they lived in the past years, and so they considered Cross' proposal as a very dangerous one. It's hard to believe but every time this controversial band played live, it had the power of gathering lots of unconditional fans, but in spite of it, the backing bands were the ones who got their records first.So in this state of affairs its first album "Solo Quiero Salir de Aquí" (I Just Wanna Get Out From Here" was finally released in 1991. Its second album "Instinto Salvaje" (WIld Instinct) was released in 1992. This album makes a break with the band's past and it definitely shows an approach to raw power. Things have been very different from that time on, public seemed not to accept this change of trend and little by little the band lost its massive acceptance, as this kind of music is not acknowledged between most of South American kids.As a result of all this, record companies lost its interest in Cross too, so this band became a band of cult in Uruguay and in Argentina.Its last production "A Miles de Kms de Acá" (Thousand Miles Away From Here), is the first one released on CD format and it features "Solo Quiero Salir de Aquí" (which was a kind of anthem of Uruguayan youth boredom during '80's). This record was both recorded and released totally indie, in Marcelo's (leader of Cross and the only original member left) private studio.This record is a kind of mixture of several styles which range from heavy psych to raw power. After fourteen years of being on the road and being living in a country that neither understands nor accepts these proposals., it could be said that the final fate of this band will be the same as its '60's mates got.Now at the gates of the new century Marcelo has released his first solo effort. This album compiles unreleased songs written during the last ten years. These songs were once intended for Cross but as they didn't fit with the band hard style they never were included in any of Cross' records. Fortunately they are compiled now in this Marcelo Cross "Agujas En El Cielo", I hope you really enjoy them.
