The unfortunate death of Pedro San Martín possibly put an end to a band that marked a whole generation of melancholy dreamers, among whom I encounter. Following the departure of Bob Sanchez, founder and lead guitarist of the group, following the publication of Soidemersol (1997), one of his best albums, and, above all, the vocalist Irantzu Valencia in 2009, the group seemed to bet Donosti his dubious future at a more than difficult conversion into the national music scene hard. However, the most recent example of their work, the EP small countries Travel (2009) bet to maintain the cadenced line and outside the fashion that had become the indispensable reference group of a certain type of sound, reminiscent of the 60, the French chanson, and certain air of bossanova with exquisite orchestral arrangements. Seven studio albums, some as bright as the aforementioned Soidemersol, Hallelujah! (2001) and Album (2003) - and a compilation, in addition to numerous EP's, up the unblemished record of a panel, those that appear to nest in a world apart, protected from taxation, trends programmed and airplay charts guarded by one, perhaps, not too large, but loyal audience, delivered like few others. I could check the only time I had chance to see them play live. Seville was in the Fun Club room will be about ten years. One, which has a short memory to recall the letters, he could observe around much of the audience chanted the songs in one way or another, they had gathered despite being home interests and conflicting lifestyles. Is it about the music. The detractors of the good life often call him a pretentious and haughty, to send messages to people that borders geeks forties, when not exceeded. I respect your opinion, since the band's music seems to stop Donostia miraculously in this border between sensitivity to the surface of the sanctimony. For the uninitiated I recommend you give it time, let the music gradually exert their powerful influence. Although The Good Life ceases to exist as a group, his work will live on in the ears less accommodating to radiofórmulas and successes.
