THP junto a Red Carmine en Fotomatón
.jpg)
Ayer tocamos junto a los bilbainos Red Carmine en la sala madrileña Fotomatón. Fue una de esas ocasiones en que sientes que el grupo que está tocando junto a ti complementa perfectamente al tuyo. El público también opinó de este modo y lo agradeció. El concierto estuvo integrado en una presentación del programa radiofónico Salsa de Carne, cuyos DJs pincharon tras las actuaciones. Supongo que esta foto fue tomada al principio del concierto porque sudamos como pollos.

Yesterday we played with the Basque band Red Carmine at the music hall Fotomaton, in Madrid. It was one of those times you feel the band your playing with complements perfectly with your own. The public thought so as well and appreciated it. The concert was part of a presentation by the radio program Salsa de Carne whose DJs played after the show. I guess the photo above was taken at the beginning of the concert 'cause by the end we all were sweating buckets.

Ukelele-man
Raúl toca la batería pero no sólo toca la batería, de hecho, sobre todo toca el ukelele. Si le ves por la calle párale y pídele que "se toque una buena", seguro que lleva su ukelele consigo y te puede deleitar.
---
Raúl is a drummer but he doesn't only play drums, in fact, he plays the ukelele more than anything else. If you see him walking on the street just stop him and ask him "to play a good one", he's bound to have his ukelele on his person and he might delight you.

Final del concurso de la UCLM
He aquí un par de vídeos de la final del concurso de maquetas organizado por la Universidad de Castilla La-Mancha. El primer vídeo es una entrevista que nos hicieron los chicos de la revista DOS antes del concierto y el segundo en un fragmento de nuestra actuación, en concreto Eisoptrophobia y Farewell, que fueron los temas con los que abrimos.

Here you are a couple of videos from the final of the contest the University of Castilla la Mancha organized.

Siempre hemos sido un desastre a la hora de buscar bolos, enviar mails, hacer carteles, contactar con gente y todo lo que al management se refiere. Pero aquellos tiempos oscuros ya pasaron y como podéis ver el volumen de conciertos de The Home Phonema, así como su presencia en los medios es mucho mayor. El gran culpable de este cambio es nuestro nuevo manager (antes de manager amigo), nuestro gran fichaje para promocionar el nuevo álbum con conciertos por doquier. Le reconoceréis de otros proyectos que ha tenido y tiene como son el fanzine musical Lamenor o el programa de radio Salsa de carne.
---
We’ve always sucked at getting gigs, sending emails, making posters, keeping in touch with the right people and everything that management involves. Those times are long gone now and as you might have noticed, our volume of concerts and presence in the media is much greater recently. The person responsible for this change is our manager (friend first and manager second) Ángel Lamenor. You might remember him from previous projects he had like the musical fanzine Lamenor or from the current musical radio program “Salsa de Carne”.

Final del Demonova.... no pudo ser / Demonova Final... it wasn't meant to be
Ayer saltamos, gozamos, vomitamos, punzamos pezones, perdimos algun trozo de epidermis y desde nuestro punto de vista dimos uno de nuestros mejores conciertos. Después de la final la gente se acercó, nos felicitó y nos ofreció conciertos y otras ofertas relacionadas con la música... al final puede que a la postre ganemos de manera indirecta más de lo que pensabamos. Si el jurado no quiso que ganáramos al menos todos los que nos apoyasteis sí lo hicisteis, unos conocidos, otros desconocidos, el caso es que ayer, dijera lo que dijera el jurado, fue una noche donde crecimos como grupo y donde nos reafirmamos allí donde nos gusta, en el escenario.
There's nothing left to give up.
PD: Muchas gracias a toda la organización, en especial a Jose Gallardo por organizar las cosas de manera digna y en apoyo a la música. Enhorabuena también a Mañana, disfrutadlo chicos.
---
Yesterday we jumped, enjoyed, vomited, made people's nipples hard, lost a few pieces of epidermis and from our viewpoint we gave one of the best gigs we've ever given. After the final song, people came over, congratulated us and offered other gigs and music related offers. In the end we could say we inadvertently won more than we expected. If the judges didn't want us to win at least every one of you who supported us, known and unknown, did. Yesterday, no matter what the judges decided, was a special night that made us grow as a band and reasserted ourselves there, on stage, where we like to be.
There's Nothing Left to Give Up.
P.s. Thanks to the organization, especially to José Gallardo for getting everything done so well and in support of our music. Congratulations Mañana, enjoy it guys.

Robochico o Javi Noguerol es el VJ de los Home Phonema. Escucha las canciones, lee las letras, te invita a cenar a su casa, te pregunta sobre ciertas cosas y prepara sesiones que proyecta en directo sobre nosotros durante los conciertos. Complementa y completa al grupo y permite entenderlo en una variante artística más. Además es el autor de la última sesión de fotos que hicimos y en mente tenemos hacer con él el videoclip de "Plastic Plastic"

He complements and completes the band permitting a new understanding of our music through a new artistic variation. He also doubles as our photographer, (he photographed our last photo sitting).

Nueva Bio
---
This is our new bio. I hope you like it.
[Español]
El proceso de gestación de “There's nothing left to give up”, nuevo EP de los toledanos The Home Phonema, ha tenido la suerte o la desgracia de tener que adecuarse a un niveles de presión bastante altos. Un caótico periodo de casi 3 años, definido por ausencias, búsquedas inconclusas, parones de difícil arrancada, cambios en la formación, mudanzas de local y demás historias de las que dan ganas de quemar la toalla. Mucha investigación y desarrollo, muchas idas y venidas, desde el fondo del Sena hasta lo más profundo de la estepa.
El desenlace de toda esta historia ha sido grabado en la Zona Temporalmente Autónoma de su vecino Carlos Toronado (PAL, Remate) y posteriormente masterizado por el prestigioso J.M. Rosillo (etcétera, etcétera).
Un total de siete temas que han conseguido definirlos como seres humanos e indirectamente como agrupación músico-social de ellos. “There's nothing left to give up” denota cierto eclecticismo de influencias (desde lo más limpio de grupos como Mogwai, Fugazi o los siempre presentes Joy Division, hasta lo más sucio de Velvet Underground o ¿por qué no? The Arcade Fire) pero sin perder en ningún momento el hilo conductor al que han quedado fuertemente amarrados. Madurez no fruto de la edad, sino del trabajo.
Están en su mejor momento y miran hacia delante, más que concienciados de que no hay nada más que dejar.
[English]
“There’s Nothing Left to Give Up” is the newest album of The Home Phonema based in Toledo, Spain. Created in spite of significant obstacles, the strength of the album’s music is a testament to three chaotic years of development, a time that tested both the group’s endurance and commitment. A few changes in formation, a couple moves of rehearsal locales and other issues, while difficult, eventually aided in creating a new and different mix of amazing songs.
The band that got its start playing covers at local high schools has also produced two previous albums entitled “Time to Think” and “Dear Sons and Daughters of TV”. After five years of playing and travelling around Spain, The Home Phonema is looking forward to new challenges in 2009, thanks to the largely web-driven interest and popularity of their new album.
“There’s nothing left to give up” denotes the eclectic styles of their influences, ranging from the softer parts of bands such as Mogwai, Fugazi or Joy Division to the noisier songs of "clean sounding bands" like The Velvet Underground, The Arcade Fire and Radiohead."
While the songs may differ in harmony and melody, there remains a connecting thread, which generates a cohesive understanding of the album for the listener. “There’s Nothing Left to Give Up” was recorded by Carlos Toronado and mastered by J.M. Rosillo. Fans can access their new album for free at www.thehomephonema.com
The Home Phonema is at its peak and looking to the future, truly convinced that “there’s nothing left to give up”.

Concierto presentación del álbum en Torrijos
Allí estuvimos, después de mucho tiempo sin tocar en Torrijos y presentando el nuevo álbum. Fue todo un acierto utilizar el Salón de Actos como escenario ya que si bien hubo algunos que no quisieron sentarse y se fueron hacia atrás, la acústica fue muy buena. Además pudimos ver por primera vez a Winter Palace en directo, nuevo proyecto torrijeño que suena muy bien. Robomuchachos nos acompañaron con sus visuales y superando algún problema técnico (PAL nos tuvo que prestar un ampli, muchas gracias) todo salió muy bien. Gracias al Ayuntamiento de Torrijos por ayudar a que esto haya sido posible. Espero que los torrijeños sepamos lo que nos esforzamos porque siga habiendo conciertos allí, gratuitos, como fue el caso del fin de semana.

In Concert playing our new album in Torrijos. There we were, after have gone a while without playing in Torrijos, presenting our new album. Using the town's assembly hall was a good decision because, although a few people didn't want to sit and went to the back, the acoustics of the place were excellent. We got to enjoy ourselves listening to The Winter Palace, a new group from Torrijos, with an excellent sound. Robomuchachos accompanied us with his crazy and colourful light projections and with the exception of a few technical problems (we had to borrow one of PAL's amps) everything worked out just as planned. Thanks to the town council for making this happen. We hope that everyone can appreciate how much we try to keep live music sounding in Torrijos, and for free, like it was in yesterday's case.

Letras / Lyrics
Album: There's nothing left to give up
1. Eisoptrophobia
Fire will not be able to burn me up
because I’ve been training in the mountains.
You thought the war was over but it is not
and now we are, all of us, still sober.
Keep your clothes on if you want to be alive,
leave your soul here it’s not useful anymore.
Spelling your name I found a reason to be glad,
getting away from here we’ll be getting back home.
Wisdom is not important where we go,
I heard a long howl this morning.
The mirror said to me “you’re the only one”,
my raincoat hides me in the corner.
Keep your clothes on if you want to be alive,
leave your soul here it’s not useful anymore.
Spelling your name I found a reason to be glad,
getting away from here we’ll be getting back home.
2. Farewell
2. Farewell
There will be nothing to care about
when all this is over.
I will wash my face
'til my features change.
All I needed was you
but now I'm fonder of
my red shoes than of you.
I will recreate you
to always remember you by,
for the very last time.
Music that comes from everywhere
sets my pace.
I can't help but smile
when I look back.
All I need is me.
I don't feel bad though from the mirror
my eyes accuse me.
Come together
you, all the free world.
There are bananas, more than enough.
Let’s clap together
for such a good job.
You can feel all her pain with every brushstroke.
This monkey drew
a man in the moon
in a flashy space suit.
Watch your step
before the final jump.
You could die of faith in the truth.
Louder and louder
we can hear the noise.
The army is ready for the war.
Now you realize
you cannot grab a gun.
It’s too late to start asking why.
This monkey drew
a man in the moon
in a flashy space suit.
Watch your step
before the final jump.
You could die of faith in the truth.
I don’t wear shoes but I feel no pain,
I usually smile when you say “all is ok”.
After having been through great experiences,
I walk down the street, I look at the ground.
Thousands of eyes are looking at me,
they ask me “where have you been”.
and I show… show… aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
Recently my guitar wakes me up
and we go to the main door, the both of us.
I take a gun and she takes another one,
what do you want from me? I’m not a human being!
and I show… show… aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
I show them my hands.
Please, accept my apologies.
Through the window I can see the orange sky.
I take a run for it and I jump.
and I show… show… aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
How many times did you bump into a gnome and say
“sorry, I'm sorry my sir”?
Once again,
here he is,
shaking hands,
our guest.
And at how many lies have you smiled and continued
nodding and nodding, my friend?
Once again,
here he is,
shaking hands,
our guest.
A pile of money burning up.
The fires reflection in your eyes.
We hold our hands to the bonfire.
Now all makes sense more or less.
Raise your arms and pray to your god.
There’s nothing left to give up.
Once again,
here he is,
shaking hands,
our guest.
We burst out laughing and shout at the clouds.
There’s nothing left to give up.
Once again,
here he is,
shaking hands,
our guest.
It’s time
to say goodbye.
Mr. Butcher died,
stabbed by his knife.
The sun,
is hitting my face,
accusing me but I don’t
regret what I’ve done.
That was…
That was the end (x4)
The train,
carries me away
from the space, I won’t
come back anymore.
It’s hot
hotter and hotter in here.
I'm getting sick,
I can hardly breathe.
That was…
That was the end (x4)
It’s said there’s no longer a good sort
but I’ll keep trying to find you.
For the first time I can understand,
it was much easier than I thought.
