“Los Cripis are a band outside time and place. Fragile and melancholy, wonky and sweet” – Rough Trade

Buenos Aires para-garage punks, Los Cripis are set to play a London show at the Total Refreshment Studios in Dalston on the the 4^th of July to coincide with the release of their new album ‘Los Cripis Long Play’ on Unwork Records.

Produced and mixed by Tim Garratt (Telegram / Charles Hayward / Skinny Girl Diet) at the Moriaki Skyway Studios in Cable Street London, the album is the first vinyl release from Unwork Records. An outgrowth of East London DIY shows Unwork / Fuck-up Force this release sees the label ditch their anti-natalist instincts and carry on adding trash to the pile. Watch the new video to ‘All My Friends Are Dead’, just one of the many stand out tracks from the new long player.

WATCH – ‘ALL MY FRIENDS ARE DEAD’

LOS CRIPIS play a mesmeric, derailed and minimal rock and roll with seditious and schizoid intent. Formed in 2010, they released three albums, all on Fariscal Records in Argentina, Europe and the UK. ‘Los Cripis Long Play’ is the fullest and most developed work of theirs to date and finds a spiritual kinship with early Velvet Underground, the pre-brain injury Scritti Politti recordings, Free Kitten and the Beach Boys, whose ‘Don’t Hurt My Little Sister’ they cover on side two.

Following the London show on the 4^th of July, LOS CRIPIS take off around the UK in July and then head for mainland Europe, returning briefly to play Indietracks festival in London before a run of dates in the in US in August.

“Fun and poignant: nerve-ends left exposed, clattering and jagged, guitars that run naked through the streets in a running battle with the tentative rhythm section, vocals that judder and jar, from Argentina and a trio like all the best trios are – they leave in the space and the clutter, and take out the boredom with the trash” – Everett True

Unwork has been putting on gigs catering to underground punk and drop out music devotees since October 2012 for three or four pounds at Power Lunches on Kingsland road or nearby, splitting money between bands and giving what’s left to DIY Space for London.
