77-2018

Rock will never die! Not as long as ‘77 have a say in the matter.
Since ’77 are true enthusiasts of rock it is no surprise that their new album, “Bright Gloom”, is the hardrock album that you would expect from the quartet surrounding the brothers Armand (lead singer/rhythm guitar) and LG (lead guitar/backing vocals) Valeta.

“This time we didn’t want to overthink and just play what comes natural to us”, explains LG. An approach that created two contrasting vibes on the album: a darker and a brighter atmosphere. “As we wanted to emphasize the concept of duality we came up with the album title, ‘Bright Gloom’.”

The album was recorded live onto tape in Brazil Studios in Madrid between November and December of 2017 with the well-known Spanish producer Raül Refree and Javier Ortiz as engineer assistant. “We mixed it from the 24track tape onto a 2 track tape with analogue gear such as compressors, EQs, tape delays and spring and plate reverbs. The analogue orgy really goes all the way, as the mastering by Alex Psaroudakis was done from a 1/4 inch tape onto a 1/2 inch tape and the vinyl master from the 1/2 inch tape straight into the lacquer.”

‘77 are no slouches to perfection. Ensuring that the album cover also mirrored the music and the (throwback) process by which it was put to wax, the group hired designer Pol Abran Cantador and Branca Studios, a graphic design firm bridging music, film, art, and culture using 1970’s aesthetics.

“Bright Gloom” is the first album with bassist Dani Martin. “We’ve known Dani for a long time now,” says LG. “He’s actually a big fan of the band. He even has ‘77 inked on his arm. He came to record a video of our show in Barcelona when we presented our ‘Maximum Rock’n’Roll’ album. He was also working in the same profession, so we met often. He’s a very easygoing guy, who fits pretty well in the ‘77 family.” That he’s “an authentic music freak, gear fan, and ‘70s lover” makes his homecoming on “Bright Gloom” all the more perfect.

“Bright Gloom” is scheduled for a release April 27, 2018 via Century Media Records.

The following live shows are already announced around the release of “Bright Gloom”:

04.05.18 (DE) Osnabrück – Bastard Club
05.05.18 (DE) Düsseldorf – Pitcher
07.05.18 (DE) Frankfurt – Nachtleben
09.05.18 (DE) Hamburg – Astra Stube
10.05.18 (DE) Berlin – Maze
11.05.18 (DE) Sebnitz – Wonnemond Festival
14.05.18 (DE) München – Backstage Club

Artistically and aesthetically deeply rooted in the Seventies the Valeta brothers Armand Valeta (vocals and rhythm guitar) and LG Valeta (lead guitar) founded ’77 (pronounced Seventy Seven) as a direct reflection of the concept of the era they love. Over the past years ’77, who are hailing from Spain, didn’t just make a name for themselves with their studio recordings, but particularly with their high energy live shows that secured them countless European tours with the likes of diverse bands such as Bullet, Audrey Horne, Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock, Danko Jones or their label mates Dead Lord.

After a highly successful tour throughout their native Spain they are getting back into the van for a European headlining tour in September.

’77 about the upcoming “Come & Join Us On Tour”: “Hi everyone! Maybe you were wondering what we’ve been doing since our last European tour with Michael Schenker, Danko Jones and our label mates Dead Lord.
Well, as many of you know, we’re a terribly hardworking band and so we’ve been successfully touring around our beautiful home country Spain, holding the rock and roll flame high and proud.

These times might be rough indeed, but we like sticking to our motto ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us’ – and that’s why we want to jump back into action, come to your town and make you experience a hell of a party with a loud-electrifying-rock-and-roll-guitar catharsis. Do not miss it, not for all the tea in China, we assure you’ll be delighted and willing to be at a ’77 show again! Satisfaction guaranteed or you get your money back. Come and join us on tour rock and rollers! Oh, and remember: We can always use some beers!”

The current dates are in support of their brand new album “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” which was released in the late fall of last year. The album was produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano who has worked with diverse artists such as Paradise Lost, Ghost, Ulver or Cathedral.

’77: Unleash First Song From New Album “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us”

77

Spanish hard rockers ’77 are proud to present you the first track  “It’s Alright” from the forthcoming new album and Century Media debut “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” out on October 30th, 2015. Check out the kick-ass boogie rocker here:

’77 comments:
“It’s Alright” is a straight forward ’77 song based on a heavy, rocking riff and perfectly represents us and our sound. The music somewhat disguises that its lyrics are actually dealing with a lot of anger and frustration and the song can be understood as our personal call to action: Don’t just go the easy way, don’t just say “It’s Alright” and remain ignorant to what is happening around you.

“Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” was produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano who has worked with diverse artists such as Paradise Lost, Ghost, Ulver or Cathedral. You think this might sound too heavy for fans of real rock ‘n’ roll? Then check out this first track and you’ll be turned into a real believer that this was a match made in rock ‘n’ roll heaven!

Founded by the Valeta brothers, ’77 (pronounced Seventy Seven) reflects the ideology and musical concept of the Seventies, an era they artistically and aesthetically feel comfortable with and truly at home. You cannot deny their special love and passion for the Bon Scott era AC/DC, as the band’s name is a reference to the year that “Let There Be Rock” was released. Over the past years ’77 didn’t just make a name for themselves with their studio recordings, but particularly with their high energy live shows that secured them countless European tours with the likes of diverse bands such as Bullet or Audrey Horne.

After releasing three albums on Listenable Records and Kaiowas Records (in Spain) the four-piece band from Barcelona has recently inked a worldwide deal with Century Media Records.

’77 about their new home: “We’re very proud and happy to announce that we signed a deal with the prestigious record label Century Media Records. It’s been a long way to get here and we want to say ‘thank you!’ to everybody who helped us making this possible. We’d like to extend a special thanks to Marc Picanyol, Laurent Merle, our former band mates Raw and Dolphin and last, but not least our amazing fans!”

The band is currently busy with writing their upcoming album, so stay tuned for more news soon.

’77 are:
Armand Valeta – Vocals & Rhythm Guitar
LG Valeta – Lead Guitar
Guillem Martinez – Bass
Andy Cobo – Drums
