Los AngelesÆ favorite bilingual funk-dance-rock duo
Spigga are gearing up for a series of West Coast
dates in support of their just-released album "06105:
The Mixtape" (Supermercado23/Navarre Corp.) Making
music for iPods that ache to be boomboxes, Spigga is
led by modern day renaissance man Giovanny Blanco
(host/producer of the popular ôLATV Liveö program;
former double-time doing frontman of Latin punk
merrymakers Viva Malpache). The group is rounded out
by BlancoÆs collaborator Jaswho?, a house music
master (Soulmine Records) who brings ample grooves
to the Spigga table. Friends and musical
collaborators since they met in Hartford Public High
School back in the late 80Æs, California transplants
Blanco and Jaswho? named the album æ06105Æ as a
shout-out to their Connecticut hometown.
Spigga are continuing to make waves for themselves,
most recently with their bilingual cover of "People
of the Sun" for the new Rage Against the Machine
tribute album "Tributo a Rage Against the Machine
en Espanol". The track was recently named a "Prioridad
Discografica" by Radio & Records magazine. Selected
as the first single for the album (it also appears on
Spigga's own album), Spigga have created two brilliant
and off-the-wall videos for the single, as well as
commissioned seven remixes performed by Nova of NYC's
Pacha Massive and BradElectro from SF among others.
Spigga are also indie favorites of a growing number
of music supervisors, with the song "Papa Knows"
landing on FX Networks' The Shield, as well as the
films "See Jane Run", "First Snow" and 'Steve-O's Wild
Weekend'. When asked to describe his groupÆs appeal,
Blanco comments "It's quite simple, we're a taco truck
version of Hall and Oates. Ghetto Muzak."
Performing as a full six piece band at its live shows,
the internationally-flavored act includes members from
the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Ireland, Mexico,
Oakland, and New Jersey. SPIGGA, unsatisfied with the
taste of the current music scene, have decided to
create their own flavor. Un mundo with no boundaries.
Where funk and rock collide, house and industrial reside
with soul and garage goofiness. Drum and bass becomes
guitars, drum and bass, but el sancocho doesn't stop
there. SPIGGA is multilingual (ooohh, sexy), with songs
in English and Spanish and other idioms as soon as they
can learn how to say "booty" in other tongues. SPIGGA's
odd lyrical content can best be described as
Maniacodepresivopsychosexual. Happy and ready to party
one second and sad or angry and ready to kick your ass
in the next. Who said sex and politics don't mix? A
person who's never had arroz con pollo with corn bread,
that's who.
Note: We consider ourselves at MP3 to be ahead of
the game when it comes to audio quality. We prefer
to rip to LAME 3.97b because it yields better sound
quality at a more efficient bitrate. However, the
scene is not yet prepared for 3.97b, as pzs-ng/glftpd
have not yet been updated to detect the presets in
this new encoder. In addition to this, some groups
have been taking advantage of using new LAME versions
or presets and have been sound shaping and altering
bitrates to make re-encoded webrips appear as legit
releases. As such, we have decided to revert to an
outdated version of LAME until the scene is prepared
for an update.
