Els Amics de les Arts

The
band forms in 2005, when they present the rough cut Catalonautes
(PistatxoRecords,
2005) to Sona9
contest.
They become finalists and carry away the popular vote. Then they
record Roulotte
Polar (PistatxoRecords,
2006) and, like the previous one, it is distributed online for free.

The
first physical and studio album is Castafiore
Cabaret (Pistatxo
Records, 2008). But the real step forward arrives with Bed
& Breakfast (Discmedi,
2009): thanks to this record they go from being friends who shared a
flat in Barcelona to sell over 45,000 copies of her LP.

Bed
& Breakfast is
a fresh album, amazing, mature and fun, full of life stories. Their
schedule is filled of concerts and the awards arrive: Enderrock,
Radio 4, Cerverí Award ... They end the tour with a total of 123
performances and two concerts at the Palau de la Música in
Barcelona, where the seats were sold out within hours. Begin to play
outside Catalonia, and the group presents the album in Madrid,
Valencia, the Balearic Islands, and the major German cities.

After
this marathon tour and a year away from the stage, they present their
third album, Espècies
per catalogar (Discmedi
2012). More mature, more thoughtful while maintaining the freshness
that has always characterized the group. With this album, they invite
us to explore a world full of unique experiences for people far
removed from the stereotypical scenario located between reality and
science fiction.

This
album puts them at number 1 of iTunes Spain and raises directly to
4th place on the list of best-selling albums in the state. They play
in the most important festivals of Catalonia with every seat sold:
Cap Roig, Grec, Protalblau, PortaFerrada, Sons del Mónamong others.
This new tour sells over 100,000 spectators from Catalonia, Madrid,
Bilbao, Valencia and Glagow. The Espècies
per cataloger is
Golden Record in a few weeks after it is published and also receives
several awards Enderrockof Catalan Music, AltaveuAwward, the ARC
Award 2012 for the best tour of theaters and auditoriums and the UFI
Awardeby the Union of Independent Artists.

They
release the CD-DVD Tenim
dret a fer l’animal(Discmedi,
2013) recorded live at Razzmatazz during the final gig of Espècies
per cataloger tour.
