Rodrigo Y Gabriela – 9 Dead Alive (CD & DVD)
Product Details
Two Mexican guitarists who busked on Dublin's Grafton Street before selling out concert halls worldwide, Rodrigo y Gabriela built their reputation on a live intensity that translates remarkably well to record. The Red Rocks footage included here speaks to that connection; that Colorado amphitheater has long been a spiritual home for musicians who thrive on the relationship between performance and landscape.
Acoustic rock maestros Rodrigo y Gabriela's new studio album is titled 9 Dead Alive and it is the band's first record of new material in five years. It was recorded and produced by Rod and Gab at their studio in Ixtapa, Mexico. Mixing was handled by Andrew Scheps (Black Sabbath, Adele, Metallica, Lana Del Rey) in Los Angeles.
9 Dead Alive sees Rodrigo y Gabriela playing face to face, guitar versus guitar, bursting with melodic energy and rhythmic invention. Recorded at their Pacific Coast hideaway in late summer, the album captures the warmth and spontaneity of two great musicians locked in together; perfectly distilled into nine new songs teeming with desire, elegance and gusto.
Deluxe version includes DVD featuring 3 live in-studio recordings, 5 tracks taped live at a Red Rocks sold out show summer 2013, 'Making of 9 Dead Alive' EPK,and two separate tutorials from Rod and Gab on how to play the songs
