Aias are Gaia, Laia and Miriam. Gaia sings and plays guitar. Laia sings and plays drums and Miriam sings and plays bass. And the three together they try to make songs for anyone else to sing. Pop with distortion, lots of ''oooos'' and vocal harmonies in in a cave with endless ceilings sung in their native Catalan (not Spanish, mind you!)
Aias began as a birthday party band and by surprise ended up being a band for real, or at least that's their current intention. The desire to win in the fight against the instrument itself, the need to shout a bit during the week, a Vivian Girls concert during the Primavera Sound Festival and the providential intervention of Cristian Palleja (Nisei, Sedaios) lead to a home made recording in a village lost in Catalonia and an unexpected winter signing with the New York Label, Captured tracks.
''A La Piscina'' is their first full-length release, for which they will be touring the US in the Fall.
