He kept me at his work the 11 Bis vinyl, "Dueños De La Noche" that he had bought in pre-order before the edition came out and now that the record company Demons Records had already sent him the copies, we were left for delivery. I already did an extensive chronicle when the CD edition of this interesting project was launched, Pepe's idea as manager of 11 Bis to compile performances from the early days of the band on TV, pubs, festivals, demos, unreleased songs, etc. all in sound Crude, as I said in its day is an album for national rock connoisseurs without flourishes or retouching and how could it fail if this is the project of a collector, of a Metal soldier, because it was not for less that he took care of the vinyl edition at 5000% !!!! , with an insert of photos on one side of the time and on the other one of the great duet that currently make up Pepe Motorbis & El Padrino, the great frontman and soul of the band, a page with the history of 11 Bis and a poster in A3 of the famous 1986 festival "El Heavy No Es Violencia" organized by Pedro Bruque where 11 Bis participated and their performance is recorded on this vinyl.
A detail that must be said and that Pepe has to be very proud of is that the vinyl bears in the center "YOUR" stamp "Que corra el vinílo" designed for him by his brother.
In short, a luxurious and mythical edition at a very affordable price.
But the coffee and cruasant conversation leads to even more .....
If Dueños De La Noche were the lost recordings of the first time of 11 Bis and since José Luis Gutierrez "El Padrino" never left in all the years until the return of the group, the art was in bands, theater, musicals, etc.
What was the spark that detonated the return of 11 Bis in 2019 with the album "36 Years Later"?
And Pepe goes and takes out a CD from his backpack and tells me his story ..... there I see that this CD could well be the snake's egg, the spark, the trigger for the return of The Godfather at the head of his 11 Bis stronger than ever.
This is the CD of a band called "The Maduros" entitled "Todo Cambia" (2015) and that only recorded that album.
The story goes through Asun, who has the song "47 Rosas" on the album "Metal En Vena" (2020) dedicated to her, a good friend of José Luis who always urged him to regain control of his dream, the band that he could never record or "take off" seriously in the national rock scene despite having had mythical moments in him and that he captained the 11 Bis in his youth.
This friend fell ill with cancer and passed away in 2013.
José Luis then, saddened and outraged, a tribute to his friend haunts his head and mounts the band The Maduros, they enter the studio to record the CD "Todo Cambia" and do a single charity performance against cancer in the Barts room in Barcelona On 4/19/2015, the entire project itself is only aimed at this single action and its collection integrates being donated to the fight against cancer, with the input / donation, many from the business world, where the cd was attached " Everything changes".
Therefore it is a cd that has never been for sale.
The concert was a resounding success reaching the sold out of the Barts hall, raising € 9,000 donated in its entirety to an association against cancer.
The fact is that a box with these CD's of The Maduros still runs forgotten by José Luis and Pepe's garage when he learned of their existence, he said "Pass me those CD's that must be available to fans" and it really is a great collectible sound document about the origin and why of the band's return in 2019.
The album has a total duration of 35 minutes, contains 10 songs that could well be an 11 Bis album since the mainstay of the album's musicians are the band's permanent ones, El Padrino, Santi Leal, Andrés Parra and José Luis Garcia , then and other musicians such as Sergi Riera, Jordi Amela and M. Bernardeau, in fact they sound like some 11 Rockers Bis a little more accessible to all audiences, with sometimes more funky rhythms, dancers and a successful wind section on some theme , always from a fresh Rock, guitar and funny lyrics.
Very limited edition of an interesting CD with a great story behind it, at a very affordable price of € 6 !!!!! The one who is being liquidated by Pepe MotorBis.
