Tonto

Tonto

Tonto has been played over 10 times on NTS, first on 19 January 2020. Tonto's music has been featured on 13 episodes.

There are two groups called Tonto, one Swiss and another Spanish.

Tonto claims to be "generally more insane than an insane thing with three tails that has been left in a corner until it is blue and starts developing exo-planets. TONTO is an experimental electronic artist. "Bass driven garage industrial electronica. www.myspace.com/wearetonto

Currently there are two TONTO albums The four songs on "Premeditated Carelessness" both defy and confirm the insanity that is TONTO. A polyphonic concoction of beats and samples with a big bottom end. There appears to be no limit to what Tonto will throw into the mixer. Indeed as TONTO tells us it sounds like "Tuesday on a Wednesday morning"!

The end of 2008 saw the latest installment from the Swiss-based TONTO entitled, “Reflections In”. You can also hear this on TONTO's MySpace page. It was a long time coming and the procrastination was in the end futile … as is usually the case. Mostly recorded in early 2008 with an almost complete remix the saw these latest four tracks released just in time for the Christmas rush. It could be described as more of the same but given we haven't worked out what the first album sounded like, this doesn't get us any closer.

Tonto is a Alternative Pop Rock group from Madrid, Spain with a little bluesy and Beatles influences in their music started in the mid 00s. They sing in Spanish and some 10 songs are freely available. Their lead singer sounds somewhat like Joe Cocker or an Zucchero.

After several unsuccessful groups, Mr. D. Sergio Keuss, decides to record his songs apart from any group, he alone, with the help of Gustavo Castellote, famed producer project most traditional Madrid. After four years of excesses and testing, created nearly 150 topics and went through different concepts of group: "The Preteen Lovers" based on recording and studio experimentation, and later with "Los Crazy Winos", a new concept of direct played with electric guitars and samples. It did not work. With a huge hangover but with enthusiasm and songs in his suitcase, begin the search for a permanent band was on, this time without samples. Soon Rodriguez Yimi found the large, renowned guitarist and singer of the legendary "MERCY SPEED" or "LISTEN". His virtuosity on guitar was pivotal in the outcome of the first model of Tonto. It is more mature songs together with a more careful production, the heir of 4 years of trial and error, and some arrangements and high quality guitars. Just missing a drummer with which to play live and Tita Abalos found: 50 kilos of poor concentrated milk and a couple of baquetas. With her he began to prepare new songs, and as a group, to give concerts. After several months touring the venues of Madrid (Gruta 77, Buena Bliss, Millennium , Q fever …) followed the process of recording her new album.

Tonto is a group based on their independence and musical integrity. A good mic, a computer, thier instruments, imagination and talent for mixing Castellote Gustavo enough to get into a powerful sound recording and professional at the same time very personal. Moreover believing in the free dissemination of our music via internet and creative in promoting it through new media. All their songs are edited under license and available on their website: http://www.erestonto.info where they boast of more than 5000 downloads from around the world. Current members: Sergio Keusses (vocals), Gustavo Castellote (bass), Jaime Rodríguez (guitars) and Marta Ábalos (a female! drummer).
