NME-Europe Live: Zeno And The Stoics (Preview)


This Friday sees Murcia's Sala Stereo play host to up and coming national band, Zeno And The Stoics. Having spent the last four years playing the Madrid scene - including several high profile slots with the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers or Kasabian - this pop/rock six piece have started reaping their rewards in 2009. The release of their debut album 'Cosmic Catastrophe', has seen them gaining more and more attention in Spain. Indeed, opening track 'Elixir' is currently the soundtrack to one of the top TV series, Dr. Mateo.

The album, 13 tracks in English, was produced by Gordon Raphael, who has also previously worked with The Strokes. Cosmic Catastrophe certainly draws on Raphael's experience, with more than a hint of the New Yorkers' sound in there, whilst you might detect a drop of U2 during your listen too.

Anyway, those of you who are in town had best decide for themselves. Kick off is at 10.30pm and tickets are a give away at 8€. Local duo, This Way, will be supporting. Here's a taste of what you're in for...
