Molesto
Los Mads started out in the mid-1960's, playing covers and a few of their own songs on Peruvian television. But a chance
sea-side encounter with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, which took place after a private party, gave The Mads the chance
to go to England; interest from Stones' manager Marshall Chess got them backstage to see Hendrix at the Isle of
Wight-and recording time in the Rolling Stones studio. Some demos recorded there and at Jagger's Stargroves Castle
(recorded live to studio truck, just like Led Zeppelin did for their third and fourth albums) plus a name change to
Molesto got them gigs at the main venues in London. They jammed with Steve Winwood and Brian Davison (The Nice), they
played with Jeff Beck and Carmine Appice, and Molesto's guitar player, Alex Ventura, worked in a clothing boutique
alongside Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor. They were in the musical heart of England. And at that point, faced with
growing friction within the group, Molesto disbanded. This disc collects recordings from all three stages of Los
Mads/The Mads/Molesto's six-year career, including two tracks from the Stargroves session. The early tracks are groovy
post Summer of Love stuff. 'Birds in My Tree' is a musical creamsicle, just right for summer nights, while yhe excellent
eight plus minute instrumental 'Tumor Bossa' has a Santana-esque feel. But the flamethrower guitar on Molesto's tracks
like 'Feels Like Love' and 'Fly Away' (which luckily clocks in at more than seven minutes) needs to be heard to be
believed. Hard driving and heavy, wild, fast, rhythmic, and furious, this is top of the table stuff. Most tracks are
sung in English. This deluxe edition includes a glossy insert full of photos, a bi-lingual booklet with band history,
lyrics and a reproduction gig poster.
