"Los Conios - covering approximately 71% of the Earths surface"
Hailing from Bristol, Los Conios (Adam, Tom, Gary and Owen) are making the kind of original arse-whipping, trouser-soiling
rock that recently made Jello Biafra remark that
"It was great to play with someone weird instead of the same old shit".
Mixing rock, pop and rockabilly with the heady spirit of punk, Los Conios have been D.I.Y. from the beginning. With one album and three EPs self-released to date, the band have recently supported and earned the respect of the Stiff Little Fingers, the Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra. Having gone down a storm at a punk festival held in the legendary Paris underground venue "La Miroiterie" with Louis Lingg and the Bombs in December 2008, Los Conios have received radio play from Organ FM and the BBC - most recently performing a live session on BBC Radio Bristol in November 2009.
Musically, Los Conios exist in the empty spaces between Frank Zappa, Pixies and the Cramps - but you'd really have to make up your own mind. When seeing them live, Los Conios won't just play for you - they'll give you a show. The last few years spent honing their act, from Cardiff to Camden and back again, Los Conios have crafted a frenzied and idiosyncratic live show that puts most other live acts to shame.
Los Conios will soon be booking up and embarking on an extensive UK tour in the summer of 2011, set to finish in Dublin alongside Festival appearances. The band also plan to record their second full-length studio album for submission to prospective labels and publishers in order to secure a deal for its distribution and general release.
Please take a look, have a peep and open up your eyes and mind to...
Los Conios
...which, by the way, is Spanish for something rude.
