The meeting point of La Banda del Abuelo is the rare avis in many ways: when they were quite old they met to form the group, and when nobody gave anything in their favor, the Mondragonese began courageously to do concerts by breaking moulds and auditory holes, among them their own. These people, raised in punk, gaztetxe and counterinformation in catacombs, have always demonstrated the attitude and punk character in their valley as no one else, and the sound that approaches the ‘rock’ attempt.
