The fabulous sound of Sensible Soccers



They do not like to state where they're from, but we suspect they are from north of Portugal. But that doesn't matter.
Listening to their sound, one could say they have engaged in serious binge drinking at the 4AD label or at WARP, as their sound ressonates the sounds from bands signing to these two British labels.
Listening to their track "Fernanda" it feels as if Robin Guthrie from Cocteau Twins had been invited to play along.
They claim they are influenced by names such as Steve Reich and Frank Zappa. But I would rather point to names such as Brian Eno/David Byrne or Jansen/Barbieri/Karn with pints of Beanfield, Seefeel, Lali Puna or even Future Sound of London. But then again Trendenz could be entirely wrong and they probably do not even listen to such names.
What matters is that we will have the possibility of seeing them live on the 9th of December at Plano B in Oporto and on the 10th at Lounge, in Lisbon. After that they will take to Spain for gigs at Underground in Barcelona on the 14th and at the Wurlitzer in Madrid on the 15th.
It doesn't matter where they come from. Trendenz just love this bunch of people "who play a very cute football with great affection".
