The Del Fuegos

This Saturday night at Loco Club, The Del Fuegos are bringing the guitars, the attitude and a whole lot of unfinished rock 'n' roll business back to Valencia.

There are some gigs that deserve a big red circle on the calendar, and this Saturday's appearance by The Del Fuegos at Loco Club is firmly in that category. For the first time in 39 years, the Boston rockers are returning to Valencia – and they're not coming back to sit quietly in the corner.

Led by founding brothers Dan and Warren Zanes, the band are bringing their European tour to town with a line-up featuring bassist Tom Lloyd, vocalist Claudia Zanes and drummer Colin Brooks.

Expect a generous serving of the raw, rootsy garage rock that made The Del Fuegos such a distinctive name during the American alternative rock explosion of the 1980s.

Emerging from Boston in 1980, the band built their reputation on sharp guitar work, infectious melodies and a no-nonsense rock 'n' roll spirit. They left behind a catalogue packed with favourites, including Don't Run Wild, I Still Want You, Name Names and Move With Me Sister – songs that still have plenty of life left in them.

Their sound sits somewhere between garage rock, roots rock and good old-fashioned bar-room rock 'n' roll. No unnecessary polish, no fancy tricks: just guitars, attitude and songs that get straight to the point.

And that's exactly what makes this return so exciting. Nearly four decades have passed since their last Valencia appearance, but the chance to catch a band with this kind of history in the intimate surroundings of Loco Club is something special.

So, dust off the leather jacket, warm up those vocal chords and get ready for a proper Saturday night. The Del Fuegos are back. Valencia, it's been a long time.
