Suzy & Los Quattro

Having released their debut mini-CD "Freak Show" 10 years ago, Suzy & Los Quattro has
become one of the most internationally-acclaimed bands ever to emerge from the Spanish
indie scene. Pretty damn good going considering that the material on that EP was never
intended to be anything more than an anniversary present between Suzy Chain and BB
Quattro, the rockin' couple that front this amazing combo.
Prior to making their first full length album, "Ready To Go!", they'd already recorded a
bunch of cool singles (one of these featured their punk icon TV Smith of The Adverts) and
toured France and Germany. "Ready To Go!" paid homage to the bubblegum and new wave
sounds they worshipped so much and it served the purpose of spreading their name far and
wide – including to Japan where the album was licensed ahead of a tour in 2005.
Three years later they teamed up with Los Angeles pop genius producer Robbie Rist. A huge
fan of the band whose amazing production skills helped S&LQ come up with one of the best
albums of 2008, "Stick With It". This still oozed Blondie/Ramones/Beach Boys but also
widened their range to other sounds like Glam, Disco, 60's girl groups and Doo-Wop. The
record got rave reviews everywhere and was more than approved by some of their RnR idols
like Andy Shernoff (The Dictators), Ben Weasel (Screeching Weasel) and reputed music
addict Lindsay Hutton (Mojo, Sounds, TNBT) who wrote the liner notes. The band toured
extensively with over 100 shows in 9 countries, again including Japan where "The Singles" a
compilation of their scarce 45s was released.
Shortly after that, the band toured Spain with American pop legends - The Rubinoos. They
locked themselves in the studio to record a session that mixed up both line-ups to result in a
very special recording entitled "Suzy & Los Quattro Play On With The Rubinoos".
During the time approaching this, the third album - the band suffered the loss of their best
friend and roadie, Hank. It was decided that they'd dedicate this to their everlasting love for
their departed "brother" and all of the songs were written around the personal odyssey of
coping with such a devastating loss. Robbie Rist, the band's own "George Martin"is once
again in the production chair and "Hank" was recorded at Musiclan Studios in Figueres (one
of the best in Europe). The set also features their old friend Tim Cross (The Adverts/Mike
Oldfield) on keyboards again too as he did on "Stick With It!". The famous producer combo Blind Joes (who have worked with huge Spanish artists like Sidonie or Love Of Lesbian) were in charge of the mixes and they've arrived at the most powerful sound the band has ever
achieved.
The remarkable studio chemistry has created the best album that the band has made over
the course of their career thus far. Suzy Chain's voice leads the charge to make these big
BB Quattro penned pop anthems roll in the thunder. They break down any and all the stereotypical taboos that might have followed them over the years. The result is a masterclass in stellar pop thrills, it's all here delivered with more heart and soul than its safe to consider.
Rock'n'Roll, Crunchy Pop, Punk Rock, New Wave, Phil Spector, Surf Music, Doo-Wop and even a bit of Motown/Stax. It's one heck of a melting pot.
The legendary label BCore is on board to help spread this pop gospel far and wide. Dates all
over the world are in the planning stages and the next stage of the S&LQ world domination strategy is set to swing into action.
Stick with them.
