LOS BUNKERS LIVE IN CONCERT
CHILEAN BUZZ ROCKERS LOS BUNKERS “LIVE IN CONCERT” DVD SET FOR RELEASE ON APRIL 24th
iTunes-Exclusive “Live in Concert”Audio Edition To Be Released Simultaneously
For those fans not lucky enough to see Los Bunkers live at last year’s Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC), Nacional Records is bringing the experience to the comfort of your couch with “Live in Concert”, a DVD of their sold-out show at Santiago’s Teatro Teleton. The DVD features live performances of Los Bunker’s U.S. radio hits like “Llueve Sobre la Ciudad”, “Ven Aquí” and “Ahora Que No Estás” as well as previous hits that were never released in the U.S. As an added bonus, the DVD also includes six music videos for “Ven Aquí”, “Llueve Sobre la Ciudad”, “Ahora que No Estás” and “Mientele” from the album Vida de Perros, and two videos from previous albums until now only seen in Chile. An audio edition of the Los Bunkers concert will be released exclusively on iTunes on April 24th as well.
Los Bunkers hit the U.S. scene last year with their critically-acclaimed North American debut “Vida de Perros” (Nacional Records). The album immediately struck a chord with Mexican fans, with the initial support of Mexico’s largest rock radio station Reactor, spurring Los Bunkers to visit the country at least five times in just the last year by popular demand. Last year they played before tens of thousands of fans at Vive Latino, Latin America’s answer to Coachella, and are slated to perform again this year. The Bunkers fever has also crossed the border with all of their singles having made the top ten of the R&R chart and their videos for “Llueve sobre la ciudad”, “Ven aquí” and “Ahora que no estás” in high rotation on networks like MTV Tr3s, LATV and mun2. Los Bunkers were also nominated for Univision’s Premios Lo Nuestro for Best Rock Album alongside established artists like Mana, Babasonicos and Alejandra Guzman.
Comprised of two sets of brothers and another friend, Los Bunkers is Gonzalo Lopez (bass), Mauricio Duran (guitar and vocals), Alvaro Lopez (vocals and acoustic guitar), Mauricio Basualto (drums) and Francisco Duran (guitars, keyboards, harmonica and vocals).
Los Bunkers formed in 1999 in the city of Concepcion, Chile with influences including The Beatles, Sloan and Supergrass. They eventually migrated to Santiago and released three albums, “Los Bunkers” (2001), “Cancion de Lejos” (2002) and “La Culpa” (2003) before signing to Nacional Records for their first U.S. release, “Vida de Perros”.
“Los Bunkers’ stomping drumbeat and almost-funky chop of the very electric guitars sound like the best of contemporary UK indie rock” – Global Rhythm
This Chilean five-piece is often compared to Franz Ferdinand, Oasis and The Strokes. High (and deserved) praise, for sure. But the group’s sound is much more than just British pop-rock sung in Spanish. It’s fresh, inventive and very fun. – Tucson Citizen
“These young Chilean rockeros breathe new life into what many considered a dormant, if not dead, (rock en espańol) genre” – New York Daily News
