Press release - 26 November 2020 15:02

The Versions estrenan «Summer Romance», su nuevo video

From RUTA 66 on 26 noviembre, 2020

The Versions se formaron en Santiago de Chile en el año 2004. Samuel Maqueira y Aldo Benincasa de The Ganjas, junto a Luciano Mariño de Los Chinches grabaron su álbum de debut, 4-Track Summer, con el productor Álvaro Gómez (Perrosky). Seis años después, lanzaron su segundo álbum, Resurrection Hotel, con Alejandro Gómez (Solar) en el grupo y con Bernardita Martínez (Guiso) como invitada especial para ayudarlos a conseguir ese sonido característico del proto-rock n roll y psicodelia de los años 70.

Con una formación renovada y un nuevo trabajo titulado Calling Lucifer, la banda de Algo Records lanza su nuevo single, «Summer Romance». El álbum está influenciado por los Flamin ‘Groovies, Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, el disco Kill City de Iggy Pop, Nikki Sudden & The Jacobites, y Dogs d’Amour, entre otros.

Junto al nuevo single, también se incluye una versión de «Fortune of Fame», originalmente escrita por la banda británica Jacobites, y otra de «It’s Not Enough» de Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers.

El grupo está confirmado para la próxima edición del Monkey Week.

Calling Lucifer sale hoy mismo en Algo Records.
