El Canto Del Loco

I’ve made a set of El Canto Del Loco wallpapers especially for the iPhone.
They’re all properly sized and optimised; mostly featuring just the current line-up, but one also including Jandro, and another of the cover to Zapatillas.
You can download them here…
Enjoy.

El Canto Del Loco have announced the release of the third single from the album Personas, “La Suerte De Mi Vida” (which translates approximately as “The Luck Of My Life”). This follows the previous huge successes of both “Eres Tonto” and “Peter Pan”.
The video was shot in both New York and Madrid and features actors Álex González and Beatriz Montañez, as well as the band; and was produced by Watergun films.
You can watch the promo clip online either here on the band’s website ‘player’ or here on their Youtube channel.

The news of the single was released by the band today on the official site and in a mailshot, along with date confirmations regarding the 2009 “Hasta Luego” Tour.

Although the latest “Hasta Luego” tour sadly stays entirely within Spain, and is therefore going to be of little interest to UK / international fans apart from any hardcore who are reckoning on travelling, it’s probably worth flagging up the dates for the sake of information…

There are also apparently a couple of further, unconfirmed dates including Seville and Valencia according to a blpog page I’ve seen; although this listing is the most complete that I’ve seen so far, and is in keeping with the dates shown on ECDL’s official site – but I’ll keep trawling.

El Canto Del Loco’s website has just overhauled its Merchandising section; which up until now has been Spain only.
But now it’s got a plush new interface, takes international orders and offers easy payment including the omnipresent Paypal. The actual merchandise lines currently up there at time of publishing are a bit limited – there’s some sizes missing on certain products for instance – and sadly things like the button badges that were available on the old site have gone – but there’s a really nice selection to choose from, and with plenty of different looks in t-shirts and hoodies etc, plus other items such as USB sticks, keychains, lanyards etc.
Great work by the site owners and merchandisers – and if you want to go and buy some El Canto Del Loco merchandise then click here to go straight to the store…
