Interama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interama is an Argentinian rock band, formed in 1999, in Ituzaingó, Buenos Aires, Argentina although the present members are together since 2001. In 2007, drummer Mario Guzzi was replaced by Franco Italiano. The band was the result of the union of Electra and Limón, which had played during years in the underground circuit.
“From that cohesion Interama arose, in order to improve and to grow artistic carrying out a proposal where to aim at the emotions it was going to be important part of the objective”, they remember.
The style of Interama approaches pop and alternative rock, where the resources vary according to climates, and the letters are strong sensations of existencialism and rhetorical questions. They are influenced by many artists, some of which are The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, David Bowie, and Argentina's Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly Garcia, and Soda Stereo.
Their first album “Polución electrónica de las conciencias” (2000), is more dedicated to the sonorous experimentation, and “En la Esfera”, gets more direct sound.
By 2003 they started a more serious career, releasing "El jardín que florece sin cesar", their first LP, edited by Nadar Solo Discos. This LP had good press critics and allowed Interama to get other horizons. The songs in this record has a fresh humour and a hopefully point of view. Examples: "Hablando con el espejo", "Alto", "Espiritu de caleidoscopio". After this, Interama begun to play in more important circuits in Buenos Aires and other cities, like Mendoza, Cordoba and Mar del Plata.
"Iniciando la máquina de ángeles" (2005, second LP) stepped in a more conceptual view, with a bit epic and progressive attitude. Some people found it more dense than "El jardín..." The sound got better than the first LP, and the songs got longer. Examples: "Nueva York", "Estremecimiento", "Parques en el aire".
They have 3 videos in MTV's rotation, and several critics in Rolling Stone, Inrockuptibles, etc. They played at Personal Fest 2004 (featuring Mars Volta, PJ Harvey, Primal Scream and Pet Shop Boys), BUE Festival 2005 (with The Strokes and Kings Of Lion) and made the opening act for Placebo's first visit, on April 4, 2005, at Luna Park Stadium, Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2006, they played again in BUE Festival, this time sharing screen with Beastie Boys, Pattie Smith, Daft Punk, TV on the Radio, Elefant and many others. They also were part of "La Fiesta de la X", a big event made at Batlle Park, Montevideo, Uruguay, on November 11th, 2006.
In August, 2007, they opened the Dolores O'Riordan's show at Gran Rex Theatre in Buenos Aires.
"Resiste" (Resist), their September 2007 release, is the 3rd LP in the Interama's career, with 13 brand new songs. Resumes the path made with both EJQFSC and ILMDA, creating a more nervious and rocker atmosphere with the production of Mariano Esaín. A step forward not forgeting the works done before. Examples: "Julia Vive En Una Película", "Resiste", "Telaraña".
