Press Release Sony-BMG:: MOLE “Agua Castradora” es el primer anticipo del álbum debut de MOLE, la nueva banda de Charly Alberti que hoy comienza a sonar en todas las radios. MOLE está formado por CHARLY ALBERTI (batería), ANDRÉS ALBERTI (guitarra lead), SERGIO BUFI (voz y guitarra) y EZEQUIEL DASSO (bajo y coros). El disco, bautizado MOLE, es un reflejo auténtico del sonido de la banda en vivo. Como dice Charly, “el disco está pensado desde el vivo y es consecuencia de un gran deseo de volver a experimentar la energía de estar en el escenario y de entregarle al público algo fuerte, que lo haga irse del show o terminar de escuchar el disco con una gran carga de adrenalina”. El album fue grabado entre abril de 2006 y enero de 2007 en la Sala, Unísono y Ave Sexua Studios con la producción de los hermanos Alberti. Fue mezclado en Circo Beat por Mariano López y masterizado en New York en los estudios Sterling Sound. El debut discográfico de MOLE está previsto para el próximo 11 de abril. (Argentina y Chile)
Charly Alberti
As the son of legendary jazz musician Tito Alberti, Charly Alberti’s musical education began when most people his age were just learning how to ride a bike.
Starting at the age of six, Alberti received a broad education in music—including stints in his father’s orchestra—that would shape his career as a musician. After playing in a handful of bands in his hometown of Buenos Aires, Alberti, along with Gustavo Cerati and Zeta Bosio, started the band Soda Stereo in 1982—forever changing the face of rock music in Argentina. Soda Stereo released numerous albums and played countless sold-out shows throughout Latin America, achieving a level of success that few bands ever experience. With a career that extended well into the 90s, Soda Stereo was easily the biggest rock band in the history of Argentina.
Following the band’s demise in 1996, Alberti refocused his efforts and began promoting technology in Latin America. With his first venture, Cybrel Digital Entertainment, Alberti worked closely with top computer and technology companies to bring modern computing platforms and applications to the largely untapped Latin American market. The Internet boom in the late ‘90s gave Alberti an opportunity to make an even larger contribution to the world of technology. By developing the concept of Internet Time, he was able to help companies around the world better synchronize their online activities. And with the launch of his tech-oriented magazine URL, a record label by the same name and the yeyeye.com music portal, Alberti established himself as a driving force in both the music and global media industries.
In 2003, Alberti decided to change paths again and concentrate solely on music. Teaming up with his brother Andres, the two started a new group called Mole.
Looks like Charlie Alberti has spent all the money he's been getting from Soda Stereo royalty checks.
Only a call from Cerati and a reunion tour will help Charlie pay the bills.
I remember some friend of mine telling me that he went to see Cerati while promoting one of his solo albums here in New York.
He said that was the most dissapointing concert he's ever been to. Cerati mostly played songs from his solo career and whenever it was time to play a Soda Stereo song he would play an instrumental version without any lyrics at all.
He said that it was kinda funny to hear people yelling at Cerati:
- SOLTA LA GUITARRA Y CANTA, BOLUDO!!
