Bandas que parecen tocadas por una varita m\u00e1gica y est\u00e1n siempre en el sitio adecuado en el momento adecuado. &#8216;ELPASO. A punk story&#8217; retrata y rinde homenaje a las bandas que nunca est\u00e1n ni en el sitio ni en el momento adecuados, pero constituyen el pilar sobre el que se sustenta la escena musical. El conjunto ELPASO toma el nombre de su ciudad natal para empezar su andadura musical. El grupo, formado por integrantes chicanos, mexicanos y americanos, empieza a tocar en 1985, y su corta y desafortunada biograf\u00eda pone punto y final en 1990, justo cuando acaban de grabar su primer disco. Este se queda en una maleta y no es hasta el verano de 2014 que Daniel, cofundador del grupo, recupera la cinta con las canciones. Al escuchar la cinta, 24 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, se da cuenta de que sus amigos son \u00abel mejor grupo que jam\u00e1s ha escuchado\u00bb e inicia su peque\u00f1a redenci\u00f3n, quiere escribir la biograf\u00eda de ELPASO y trabaja para digitalizar, remezclar, masterizar y hacer p\u00fablicas las canciones que sus amigos crearon en los 80.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Los m\u00fasicos de ELPASO se forjan como oyentes en la peque\u00f1a y familiar escena hardcore-punk de su ciudad que, como otras factor\u00edas locales, permiten que la red underground norteamericana pueda tejerse. Las primeras influencias llegan de parte de pioneros punk como The Plugz o Teenage Popeye, que compartieron cartel con los Ramones. Tambi\u00e9n aparecen bandas new wave como One Second Zero \/ The Victims y formaciones hardcore como Red Zone o, sobre todo, los Rhythm Pigs. Tambi\u00e9n curten e inspiran a los miembros de ELPASO grupos como Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Minutemen, Hickoids o los Meat Puppets. No olvidemos que El Paso, TX es en un punto clave entre Los \u00c1ngeles (California) y Austin (Texas), haciendo de ella una de las paradas obligatorias para muchos de los grupos en gira. De hecho, unos a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s en la misma ciudad se formar\u00e1 At the Drive-In, una de las bandas de hardcore-punk m\u00e1s influyentes de principios del siglo XXI. Una formaci\u00f3n que colocar\u00e1 a El Paso, la ciudad, en el panorama alternativo a escala mundial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">El documental &#8216;ELPASO. A punk story&#8217; pretende retratar una de las escenas musicales que ayudaron a aupar el movimiento underground norteamericano de principios de los 80 dando vida a una banda que podr\u00eda haber sido su emblema local y, a la vez, explicar la historia emotiva de un grupo de amigos que trataron de cambiar el mundo a trav\u00e9s de la m\u00fasica underground. Para ello contamos con los testimonios de m\u00fasicos de la ciudad, del resto de Texas y del resto de los Estados Unidos, tanto de la \u00e9poca en cuesti\u00f3n como actuales, as\u00ed como de los integrantes de la banda.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/167929311\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Everyone knows the biographies of the great bands, groups that seem touched by a magic wand and are always in the right place at the right time.\u00a0&#8216;ELPASO. A punk story&#8217; portrays and pays tribute to the bands that are never at that place and at that right time, but that essentially the pillar on which a music scene rests. ELPASO\u00a0is named after its hometown that saw its musical career start. The band, formed by Chicano, Mexican and American members, started playing in 1985, and its short and unfortunate biography comes to an end in 1990, just when they had finished recording their first album. It remains in a suitcase and it&#8217;s not until the summer of 2014 that Daniel, co-founder of the group, recovers the original tape with the songs. Listening to the tape, 24 years later, he realizes that his friends are \u00abthe best group he has ever heard\u00bb and decides to pursue his little redemption, writing the biography of\u00a0ELPASO and working to digitize, remix, master and publish the songs that his friends created in the 80s.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>Although they get together in 1985, ELPASO musicians (the band) had grown up as big punk-rock fans in the small, family-hardcore-punk scene of their city.\u00a0El Paso (the city) is one of many US small cities where the flourishing underground scene was forged. ELPASO\u00a0members grow up in the small and family-like hardcore-punk scene of their city that, like other local factories, allow an American underground network to be born. The first influences come from punk pioneers such as The Plugz or Teenage Popeye, who shared the stage with The Ramones. New wave bands like One Second Zero \/ The Victims and hardcore bands such as Red Zone or, especially, the Rhythm Pigs also appear at that time. The members of\u00a0ELPASO are also shaped and inspired by groups like Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Minutemen, Hickoids or Meat Puppets. Do not forget that\u00a0El\u00a0Paso, TX is at a key point between Los Angeles (California) and Austin (Texas), making it a mandatory stop for many tour groups. In fact, a few years later, in this same city, At the Drive-In, one of the most influential hardcore-punk bands of the early twenty-first century, will form. A key rock band that will place\u00a0El\u00a0Paso&#8217;s alternative scenario worldwide.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>The documentary &#8216;ELPASO. A punk story&#8217; aims to portray one of the musical scenes that helped upheave the American underground movements at the beginning of the 80s through the eyes of a band that could have been your local emblem and, in turn, explain the touching story of a group of friends who fought to change the world with their music. For this we share testimonies of musicians from the city, the rest of Texas and the rest of the United States, from that time but also contemporary to us, as well as the members of the band.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Todo el mundo conoce las biograf\u00edas de los grandes grupos.
