Cool, thanks. I know the Plugz from the Repo Man soundtrack!

They were great. They're on the first World Beaters CD. I played their song "Al Capone" on my radio show last night.

There's also a band called "Gatos Salvajes" who have a couple of songs on World Beaters. They're from Argentina though, while Salvajas were from Spain.

From the sixties, Los Salvajas are my favourite.

Doctor Explosión sing both in english and spanish. Probably the best live spanish band in their style since the early 90's. They have some pretty cool albums, some of them recorded at Toe Rag. Their leader Jorge has this cool studio: http://www.circoperrotti.com/home.html
From the 80's, Los Negativos were the faves among the Garage-psych-mod crowd, with a classic debut album from 1986, 'Piknik Caleidoscópico', one of the highest rated ever 60's styled spanish albums.
From the 60's, my faves are Los Cheyenes, Barcelona's own Pretty Things, early Kinks and dutch Outsiders all in one. Wilder than the (otherwise excellent) Los Salvajes. In a more Beat mood, some stuff by Madrid's Los Brincos is also top class. Los Cheyenes and Los Brincos have been covered in past issues of 'Ugly Things'.

Here's Los Cheyenes:

I've been told the new Wau y los Arrrghs album is awesome, but I haven't heard it yet. And add Los Fumestones to the list, too!

Check out Eskorbuto. I´ve got one song by them called Mucho Policia Poca Diversion (Lots of Police, Not A Lot Of Fun) which is great.

On spanish Punk-HC I'm really impressed by two recent EP releases: Silla Eléctrica, "Cloaca": http://www.radioruido.com/robotomy/product_info.php?products_id=343...
and Fix Me, "S/T": http://selloursouls.vstore.ca/
By the way, Vipers, I just bought your "Satellite Boys" 7" and I loved it!

Los s rule. Is there any particular reason for wanting bands that sing in Spanish? Is it a project you're working on? Just that my friend is a singer and also Spanish.
