Moondogs Blues Party

With their first album "O cadelo lunático" (Self-released, 2007), Moondogs Blues Party has received a few music recognitions, such as the prize "Talentos 2007" by El País or reaching the final of Festival Azkena Rock Music 2007. They were also semi-finalists in the American edition of the International Songwriting Competition (ISC), amongst more than 15,000 participants from all around the world, and whose jury had artists such as Tom Waits or John Mayall.

The American producer Kris Kaczor has used their song "Walking night in Mississippi" for a documentary DVD on slavery for the Institute of American History.

Their second album, "Thirty Roads" (Hotsak, 2011) was recorded in the recording studio Abrigueiro (Friol, Lugo) between August and September of 2010, by the producer Arturo. This album has other guest musicians such as Víctor Aneiros on the electric guitar and Vanesa Cernadas and Andrea Louro on vocals.

“Through the darkness of the forest” (Hotsak, 2013) is their third album. It was recorded in a live session at Litium Records (Pontevedra), and in it you can listen to a mature band that is comfortable in the blues, jazz, soul or psychedelia. Belem Tajes collaborated in this album on vocals and Rafa Darrosa was the sound engineer. The Basque record label Gaztelupeko Hotsak believes in the sound of this band and decided to release this EP in vinyl.

In 2013 they took part in Noroeste Pop Rock along with Doctor Gringo, Los Enemigos and Kiko Veneno.
