Name of band:
Kermit.
Who else is in your band?
Gonzalo Presa (guitars), Miguel

How would you describe yourselves?
Kermit is an
instrumental rock band that allows us driving other music paths like post-rock,
shoegaze, prog rock, electronica and jazz, among some less frequent others.
Who are your main influences musically?
Kermit's musical
influences include the names of Slint, Afghan Whigs, At The Drive-In, Tortoise,
Manta Ray, Portishead, Shiner, Sonic Youth, Liars, Appleseed Cast, Mogwai,
Karate, Burning Airlines, Cinematic Orchestra, King Crimson, Pink Floyd,
Massive Attack, St Germain, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, etc., yet
its influences also cover other fields such as literature, films, graphic art
& design, etc.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
Exploring new paths
and exploring ourselves.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
The release of our debut album (titled "Autoficción", that is
Spanish for "Self-fiction", a literary genre in Spanish-speaking
literature with some outstanding novelist names such as Roberto Bolaño, Enrique
Vila-Matas, Javier Cercas...) by Spanish microlabel Itaca Records, and a sold
out debut-presentation gig in the second largest venue in Malaga centre, Teatro
Echegaray.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Oh, probably
some gig with in front of a not very enthusiastic audience, but, anyway, these
things make you learn and progress.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
11 different paths are explored in
Kermit's debut's 11 tracks, so it kinda difficult to choose just one, as you
have our indie side in Manu Samhita, funky-rock in Cocaine, post-rock in Sea
Green, hardcore in Anacronópete, jazz-rock in Fronterizo, electronica in
Aicnelav, prog rock in Speak No Evil and Dog goD. Anyway, we do guess it's
Cocaine the track our followers associate with Kermit most.
