The premise of Búscate la vida is that you have one week to make a 4 minute film, from conception to post production. The scheme’s guidelines stated that the theme should be “It was always there” and that the film should include a graffiti and a broken mirror.

Well, it´s been so exciting to dream about the possibility of winning this year´s Manhattan Film Festival, we didn´t at the end, but for us being in the 10 finalists is a great step. Please check the winners´stuff. I have a special appreciation for “Miente”, because it is pretty hard to film anything close to that in Spain nowadays.

Here´s an interview with Jorge Molina, scriptwriter and director of “Parking”, don´t miss it!.

Jorge Molina´s “Parking” has been selected as one of the 10 finalists of the Manhattan Film Festival, out of 428 short films. We are SO proud of this work we are unable to express it with words and we can´t even imagine what´s going to happen if we win, probably we won´t, because the competition is quite hard, but we are already celebrating being there in the ten selected ones. Check the other finalist short films here.

plasteek´s “Milk Noir” is out NOW!, yes, your favourite spanish post punk band is releasing a limited edition of 300 white 7 inch vinyls, contact Warsaw Was Raw Records through his manager or plasteek themselves for getting yours, they ship international orders.

We´ve been recording 3 new songs for Marco Fernández -whose debut album is a MUST that you can listen for free in his new website – for his latest project, and hopefully you´ll have the chance to taste some excerpts soon, we recorded a bluesy cover of “The Boys from County Hell” too, but just for killing time.

A.C.SA., head and only member of Swampland Studios so far, has moved to the U.K., so wish luck to him, because they love bureaucracy in that country.

Two of our favourite Australian musicians are releasing new material this October, and we´re are expectant and excited about it; they´re Rowland S. Howard and Hugo Race;

Mr. Howard is releasing his first full length album in 10 years, it´s name is “Pop Crimes”, 8 tracks by the king of the rusty electrified guitars and ripped off riffs, give it a go here.

Mr. Race is releasing “Between Hemispheres”, an instrumental album (like he did in the past with Transfargo) that sounds, in his own words, like “raw acoustic instruments are pitted against sculpted analogue sounds in a vast organic space both dramatic and meditative, brutal yet beautiful. Here the delta blues remains – but distantly, like background radiation.….” give it a look here. Mr. Race, along with the True Spirit, will be on tour this Autumn//Winter near you, and you can´t miss it!.

That´s it by now, Audrey is on holidays and we´re all missing her so much.

Cheers!.
