Cabezones

Cabezones

Cabezones, a rock band formed in Santa Fe in 1991, consists of César Andino (vocals), Esteban Serniotti (guitar and backing vocals), Gustavo Martínez (bass), and Alejandro Collados (drums). Initially, the band leaned towards a Hardcore punk style.

In 1997, they released their debut album, Hijos de una nueva tierra, through the independent label Mentes Abiertas, which they connected with while contributing to a compilation alongside other alternative bands.

In 1998, Cabezones relocated to Buenos Aires. Their next album, Alas, was produced by Zeta Bosio, formerly of Soda Stereo, and was released by Sony Music later that year. This record marked a significant shift in their musical direction, introducing a heavier and darker sound. In 2002, Alas was released in Mexico, where the band embarked on a ten-month tour. Upon returning to Argentina, Cabezones signed a contract with Pop Art to release Eclipse (Sol) in 2003. By the year's end, Leandro Aput joined the band as a rhythm guitarist.

In 2004, Cabezones released an EP titled Intraural, featuring acoustic versions of six songs from Eclipse (Sol). The following year, in April 2005, they launched Jardín de extremidad, which includes twelve new tracks blending the sounds of Alas and Eclipse (Sol). This album was promoted through a tour named "Gira de extremidad."

On February 18, 2006, they recorded their first live CD/DVD, Bienvenidos, in front of a sold-out audience in Buenos Aires.

A tragic turn occurred in March 2006 when a serious car accident hospitalized Gabriel Ruiz Díaz, the bassist of Catupecu Machu. César Andino, a passenger in the vehicle, suffered fractures in both femurs, one being an exposed fracture. After several months of rehabilitation, Andino returned to perform with Cabezones at the Obras Sanitarias stadium, once again in front of a full house. Close to Christmas, Cabezones held their final concert with the original lineup.

In July 2007, Leandro Aput, Esteban Serniotti, and Gustavo Martínez departed from the band. Subsequently, César Andino began to explore a solo career, which ultimately led to the next Cabezones album.

On September 29, 2007, Cabezones performed at the Pepsi Music festival, where Andino (vocals) and Collados (drums) introduced new band members: Leonardo Licitra and Pablo Negro (guitars) and Matías Tarragona (bass).

In May 2008, they released Solo, a project produced by Alejandro Collados as a solo album for César Andino; however, it was issued under the Cabezones name. The lead single, "Mi reina," included a music video featuring members of various Argentine bands.

Later, Andino returned to Santa Fe and reformed Cabezones with local musicians: Eugenio Jauchen (ex-Levitar) on guitar, Marcelo Porta (ex-Levitar) on bass, and Damián Gómez on drums. This lineup recorded the album Nace between April and June 2012 at Estudio El Pote.

In 2016, they launched El naufragio del alma with the same lineup as the previous album, but with Diego Canastrelli on drums. They embarked on the Infinito Tour, traveling throughout Argentina and neighboring countries for three years. In March 2017, bassist Mariano "Nano" Bernardi (ex-Viuda Negra, Búfalo Blanco) joined, and Romulo Pividori returned on drums, replacing Javier "Mono" Farelli, who had taken over Canastrelli's position after the album's recording.

In 2021, nearly two decades after their first album and fourteen years after their iconic show at Obras, they released Cabezones 20 años, which compiles the best tracks from their career, featuring remixes and previously unreleased versions of "Globo" with Marcelo Corvalán (ex-A.N.I.M.A.L. and Carajo) and "Irte," both remastered by Eduardo Bergallo, with Osko and Rha Cariola (Santos Inocentes) handling the overall production at Estudios Monasterio.

The year 2022 began with a performance in Santa Fe and an invitation to the renowned international festival Quilmes Rock 2022 in Buenos Aires on May 1, where they shared the stage with Divididos, Catupecu Machu, Massacre, Richard Coleman, and others. Their show on the second day was a memorable and impactful event, filled with fans, and featured Marcelo Corvalán as a special guest, performing two songs alongside César Andino.

On This Day in Music History

The Beatles' Final Public Performance (1969)

On February 2, 1969, The Beatles gave their last public performance on the rooftop of the Apple Corps building in London, a defining moment not only in the band's storied career but also in the history of rock music. This impromptu concert, which served as the climax for their film "Let It Be," was a powerful showcase of the band's talent, drawing crowds and creating a jubilant atmosphere in the streets below. As the iconic notes of 'Get Back' rang out across the city, it became clear that this was a singular event, punctuated by the band's synergy and the palpable energy of the crowd.

The performance featured classic tracks such as 'Don't Let Me Down' and 'I've Got a Feeling.' Filmed for the documentary, it captured The Beatles during a tumultuous period as they were grappling with internal conflicts yet still producing some of their most enduring work. This concert marked the last time the group performed together in public before their eventual split, making it an essential piece of music history.

The live recording from that day was later immortalized in the "Let It Be" album, which reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart and featured an original vinyl release that is highly sought after by collectors today. The rooftop concert was not only a farewell to live performances but also a powerful statement on the artistic creativity that had defined the Beatles’ legacy.

The influence of this performance cannot be understated, as it continues to resonate with fans and musicians alike, often hailed as an integral moment of the 1960s music scene. Even decades later, collectors cherish original pressings of the "Let It Be" album, a testament to its lasting appeal and the band's monumental impact on the world of music.

Vinyl Collector Tip #33

Storage

Optimal Vinyl Storage for Longevity

To ensure the longevity and sound quality of your vinyl records, proper storage is paramount. You should store your records vertically, like books on a shelf, to prevent warping and bending. Keep them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity, as fluctuating temperatures can damage the vinyl and degrade sound quality. Ideally, your storage space should maintain a consistent temperature between 65°F and 70°F. Utilize high-quality inner sleeves made from anti-static materials to protect your records from dust and scratches, which can preserve their $100+ value. Additionally, invest in sturdy outer sleeves to shield your album covers from wear and tear.

It's crucial to organize your collection in a way that allows easy access. This not only makes it enjoyable to browse your collection but also minimizes the risk of mishandling records. Consider labeling your records clearly, so you can quickly locate your favorites without unnecessary friction.

Taking these steps not only protects your investment in record collecting but also enhances your listening experience by ensuring optimal sound quality. Remember, a well-preserved record is a joy to play and can be a valuable asset in your collection for years to come.

Pro Tip: Consider using a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels in your storage space.

British Invasion Vinyl: Market Trends for 2026

The vinyl market is currently witnessing a significant resurgence in interest surrounding British Invasion records, particularly from iconic bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who. Original pressings of classic albums have seen substantial price movements this year; for instance, an original pressing of The Beatles' 'Please Please Me' now commands over $200, a sharp increase from around $50 last year. This surge is largely fueled by nostalgia as older collectors reminisce about their youth, while newer generations discover these timeless sounds. Additionally, the recent passing of influential artists has prompted fans to seek out vinyl as a lasting tribute. Reissues of classic albums have also contributed to heightened interest, making these records more accessible to new collectors. For those looking to invest, focus on rare pressings, particularly colored vinyl or limited editions, which tend to appreciate faster. Avoid common reissues unless they hold sentimental value. As we look ahead, the future outlook remains positive; with continued interest from both collectors and casual listeners, prices are likely to keep rising. The vinyl renaissance shows no signs of slowing, making now an opportune time to dive into collecting trends of British Invasion records.

The Essential Guide to Funk Vinyl Collecting

Funk vinyl collecting is more than just a hobby; it’s a celebration of a revolutionary genre that transformed the music landscape. Originating in the mid-1960s, funk emerged as a distinct sound characterized by its syncopated rhythms, strong bass lines, and vibrant brass sections. The genre drew influences from soul, jazz, and R&B, but it carved its own identity, marked by artists who were not afraid to push boundaries. The golden era of funk, spanning the late 1960s to the early 1980s, saw the rise of iconic movements like P-Funk, led by George Clinton, which blended psychedelic rock with funk elements, influencing countless musicians.

When it comes to essential artists in funk vinyl collecting, several names stand out. George Clinton and his bands, Parliament and Funkadelic, are pivotal, known for their elaborate live shows and concept albums. James Brown, the 'Godfather of Soul,' was instrumental in shaping the funk sound, with tracks like "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine." Sly and the Family Stone brought a unique blend of rock and funk, while Earth, Wind & Fire expanded the genre with lush arrangements and harmonies. Other key figures include Curtis Mayfield, whose socially conscious lyrics resonated with many, and The Meters, who laid the groundwork for funk instrumentation.

For any collector, must-own albums are the cornerstone of a solid funk vinyl collection. Start with "Maggot Brain" (1971) by Funkadelic, a psychedelic masterpiece featuring the iconic guitar work of Eddie Hazel. Another essential is "What’s Going On" (1971) by Marvin Gaye, which, while more soulful, incorporates funk elements and remains a timeless classic. Don’t miss "Stand!" (1969) by Sly and the Family Stone, which encapsulates the spirit of the era, and "Let’s Get It On" (1973) by Marvin Gaye, a quintessential funk/soul blend. Lastly, grab a copy of "Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome" (1977) by Parliament for a taste of the P-Funk legacy.

When collecting funk records, attention to detail is crucial. Look for original pressings, which are often marked by their unique label designs and packaging. Labels like Casablanca, Motown, and Stax are synonymous with quality funk music. Rare variants, such as colored vinyl or limited editions, can greatly increase value and appeal. Additionally, pay attention to the condition of the vinyl and sleeve, as these factors significantly affect collectibility.

Currently, the market for funk vinyl is thriving, with prices ranging from $20 for common titles to upwards of $500 for rare albums or pristine condition originals

Collectors should closely inspect the deadwax for details and ensure that the vibrant cover art has no significant wear. With its musical legacy and the thrill of the hunt, 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' is a must-have for any serious vinyl collector eager to own a piece of music history.
