Since 1995, gig after gig Los Tres Puntos
have drifted along the roads of France and
Europe, sharing their love of Ska and
upholding the values of the indie scene. 2005
marks 10 years of Los Tres Puntos, ten years
of DIY graft, ten years of struggle to stay
off the beaten path. This landmark year sees
the release of their 3rd self-produced album:
10 ans ferme!(10 years sentence).
Distribution Discograph, out on the 6th of
February 2006. The album is dazzling, lively
and heartfelt and allows them to develop
further their alternative background and to
push their music forward. With 10 ans ferme!
Los Tres Puntos reach a level of musical
maturity, which permits them to offer a
subtle palette of sounds combining ska and
indie rock, with shades of Berurier Noir, La
Mano Negra, The Specials and The Clash.
Lyrics, written in Spanish, French and
English, are simple but knowing, activist but
realist. The Music: lively syncopated rhythms
blended with guitars and keyboards, a
generous brass section laying down
irrepressible head noddin melodies. Add to
that backing vocals like a call to arms taken
up by thousands of fans and you start to
understand the powderkeg atmosphere of the
live gig. And on stage is where Los Tres
Puntos are truly in their element. More than
300 gigs in France, in Switzerland, in
Belgium, in Germany, in Spain? shared with
heads like The Selecters, Dr Ring Ding, Les
Wampas, Burning Heads, K2R, Les Camlons,
Asian Dub Foundation, LKJ, The Gladiators,
Mano Solo but also with underground bands
like Ya Basta, La Brigada Flores Magon,
Skunk, 100 Raisons, Their top-ranking musical
performance makes them unmissable live. The
band is self-produced, manages its own
touring and promotion. Their aim is not to
arrive, but simply to carry on. To carry on
marching to their own beat, to carry on
resisting, and to demonstrate that it is
possible to remain truly independent, playing
music as it should be played: with passion
and with heart. This is why Los Tres Puntos
strongly represents the French Ska scene
through their style secreted from their
crossbreed experiences.
