Viernes13 was formed at the end of 2003 by Killer John (Bassist) and Sweet Maite
(Vocals), two Bruce Lee fanatics, serial killers, terror movies and series
B-science fiction movies, stories of lower class adolescents and superhero
comics. They decided to get together and create what would later become their
first two demos, Punk ninato and Neverland, both of which were very well
received by the specialized music critics. The good reviews they received
enabled them to go on a tour through all of Spain, playing with prestigious
groups known worldwide like Marky Ramone, The Queers and Groovie Ghoulies. The key of the
group lies in their powerful united interest in fresh pop melodies, influenced
by the Ramones, Screeching Weasel, The Queers, Teen Idols, Shock Treatment,
Depressing Claim, Romeos and Aerolineas Federales.
During the summer of 2005, the group consolidated with the addition of Jorge
(Extension 333, Wallride, Ownfight, Nocivo), drummer, and Pablo,
faithful disciple of Johnny Ramone. With them, Viernes13 gave a turn towards a
more potent and compact sound.
In January of 2006 Sweet punk (Devil Records), a self produced album, was
released to the public. It consists of four songs recorded during the summer of
2005 and is proof of their more melodic ramonian punk pop.
In March of 2007, the group signed with Rockaway Studios (Castellón) with Coky
(Shock Treatment, Depressing Claim, Los Reactivos) as their producer. The
result was the album “Esta noche,” which will be released this summer. Likewise,
in August of 2006, Viernes13 recorded what their first lp with
the great producer Mass Giorgini.
Viernes13 se forma a finales de 2003 por Killer John (bajista) y Sweet Maite (voz) dos fanaticos de Bruce Lee, los asesinos en serie, las peliculas de terror y ciencia ficcion-serie B, las historias de adolescentes marginados y los comics de superheroes.
Deciden juntarse para dar forma a lo que unos meses mas tarde seran sus dos primeras demos, Punk ninato y Neverland, ambas muy bien acogidas por la critica musical especializada. Las buenas criticas obtenidas les hacen embarcarse en una gira que les llevara por toda Espana, tocando con grupos de reconocido prestigio internacional como Marky Ramone y Groovie Ghoulies.
La clave del grupo reside en su potente directo unido a sus frescas melodias pop, influenciadas por Ramones, Screeching Weasel, The Queers, Teen Idols, Shock Treatment, Depressing Claim, Romeos y Aerolineas Federales.
En verano de 2005 la banda se consolida con la incorporacion Jorge (Extension 333, Wallride, Ownfight, Nocivo), bateria, y Pablo, fiel discípulo de Johnny Ramone. Con ellos, Viernes13 da un giro hacia un sonido mas potente y compacto.
En Enero de 2006 sale a la calle Sweet punk (Devil Records), un disco auto producido que consta de cuatro temas grabados en el verano de 2005 y que es la confirmacion de su punk pop ramoniano mas melodico.
En marzo de 2007, el grupo se encierra en los estudios Rockaway (Castellón) con Coky (Shock Treatment, Depressing Claim, Los Reactivos) como productor. El resultado es el disco "Esta noche", que verá la luz en el verano de este mismo año.
Asimismo, en agosto de 2006, Viernes13 grabo su primer larga duracion con el gran productor Mass Giorgini.
