FOR THIS AUCTION:SPITBOY / LOS CRUDOS 12" LP Vinyl Ebullition punk Record CONDITION: Great condition. Light surface wear on sleeve and vinyl. Minor tear in sleeve flap. VG+The band formed in the early 1990s� by singer� Martin Sorrondeguy� and guitarist José Casas, who remained the group's consistent members through rotating rhythm sections. Their lyrics were almost always sung in� Spanish; the song "We're That Spic Band" (written in response to an audience member calling them a "spic band"� ) is the sole exception.� Los Crudos' lyrics were explicitly political,� addressing issues such as class, police brutality, homophobia, and California ballot propositions directed against immigrants.� � At concerts, Sorrondeguy would often speak at length about the songs' meanings between songs, partly as a way of getting around the language barrier (audiences weren't always happy about this).� Their music was loud, fast, and energetic with songs built around� three chords� or fewer.� "We're That Spic Band" and "Asesinos" (about "the disappearances of radical youth during military dictatorships in Latin America") have both been described as their most well-known song. The band's first shows were in� Pilsen,� the Latino neighborhood in Chicago where the band members lived, and many of their lyrics were first sung there.� Sorrondeguy has said that, "One of the main reasons for singing in Spanish was to communicate directly with kids in our neighborhood."� In Pilsen, the band also worked closely with community agencies such asProject Vid, an AIDS prevention organization, and Project Hablo, a domestic violence support group. Los Crudos incorporated� DIY ethics� into every aspect of the band's existence, including promoting and booking shows, recording music, touring, and silk-screening T-shirts.� They toured� Mexico� (in 1994� ),� South America, Europe, and Japan, as well as touring the US many times.� � The band's recordings were released on� independent record labels� such as� Flat Earth Records,� Ebullition Records, and Sorrondeguy's label� Lengua Armada Discos. The group's final rhythm section included bassist Juan Jimenez and drummer Ebro Virumbrales (also a member of� Charles Bronson� and� MK-ULTRA). Los Crudos played its last shows in October 1998,in the neighborhood which they started in,� Pilsen.� After the band's breakup, Sorrondeguy became the vocalist for� Limp Wrist, as well as releasing a documentary about Chicano and Latino punk� (Beyond The Screams: A U.S. Latino Hardcore Punk Documentary). He has also been in the bands� Harto� and� Tragatelo. Guitarist Jose now plays in the Chicago punk band� I Attack. Drummer Ebro became the vocalist for Chicago band Punch in the Face. The band played an unannounced reunion show in June 2006 at Southkore (America's first and largest� Latino punk festival), in Chicago's� Little Village.� The festival attracted more than 400 fans.� They also played reunion shows in 2008's Chaos in Tejas festival in Austin, Texas� and elsewhere in 2009. Spitboy was founded by� drummer� Michelle Gonzales (Todd),� vocalist� Adrienne Droogas,� bassist� Paula and� guitarist� Karin Gembus. Paula left the band before the release of the� Rasana� 7" EP and was replaced by Dominique Davison. The band toured the� United States,� Europe,� Australia,� New Zealand� and� Japan. Their records were released on prominent punk rock labelsLookout Records, Allied Recordings and� Ebullition Records, including a split LP with the� Chicago-based hardcore group� Los Crudos. After the breakup of the group, Davison, Gonzales and Gembus played together in the group Instant Girl, whose sound was less aggressive than that of Spitboy.
