This is a group that practices a unique Kitschpop, where styles lose respect and balance between indie and alternative rock, dream pop and dance sounds, house and Latin rhythms.

The ticket office area and access to the concert venue of the Phe Festival 2023 will also be the point of a literary and musical meeting, at 12:00 noon, with Gerardo Cardboard (Madrid, 1972). Musician in projects such as Micromachines and Radio 77, former director of PIAS Records Spain –a company in which he spent fifteen years–, show promoter, radio host, DJ and writer. An activist of the independent scene whose literary vocation and the publication of his latest book This is how the 20th century (and part of the 21st) is danced, edited by Muzikalia, brings it to Puerto de la Cruz, sheltered by Phe Festival 2023. It will be a meeting with readers in an open conversation with the author about this publication.
According to Muzikalia review, This is how the 20th century (and part of the 21st) is danced “It is a vital and musical journey not only through his life, but through ours. An essay as peculiar as himself, embodied in nearly 300 pages that show that there are things that go far beyond the duration of a song, any scene, any record company, any festival and any fashion. That is the strip where it has been moving for a long time and here we will find out”.
The author of Manual of the perfect festival goer (Lunwerg, 2015), signed together with Jorge Obón and Manuel Bartual, invites the reader on a musical journey that starts from 1972 to the present, song by song, “to put that nameless, outcast generation in front of the mirror, anonymous, and deeply uprooted, but chameleonically strong. A generation that is not from the scene, nor from the indie, much less millennial. His, yours, ours".
