Zanstones + Bodycocktail + Masters of the Ungentlemanly Art live Iberian tour 2008


Late 2008 MotUA played the 1st shows outside USA in Madrid, Vigo & A Coruna, Spain. Bodycocktail did solo live shows in Vigo, A Coruna, Ferrol, Cordoba and Madrid in Spain & Coimbra, Porto and Barcelos in Portugal. Zanstones played three solo shows (Coimbra, Porto and Madrid) and two collaborations with En Busca Del Pasto in Madrid.

Bodycocktail at Casa Oxegino in Madrid


10 minutes

Bodycocktail live at Cafe Automatico in Cordoba



Bodycocktail at Harold's farmhouse in Barcelos

Delicious food and drink (hand squeezed OJ, the strangest great glass I've had) and one cd was sold for 5 euro so this was the best of three shows moneywise in Portugal. The Bodycocktail set was so popular a third of it was performed twice by demand.

Zanstones live at Casa Viva in Porto


A short Zanstones set (batteries die after 12 minutes) is followed by a lovely mini Bodycocktail show which was just enough to inspire Mario to kidnap me to play a show the next day in his hometown of Barcelos, not far away.

Masters of the Ungentlemanly Art Live at LSO Casa Atochas, A Coruña

The Snakes Hip for A Coruña

The Snakes Hip was composed in and presented live for A Coruña on 11.21.2008 before a most enthusiastic crowd. Never has the tax form of 1957 been so popular! A wild Bodycocktail show erupted before the MotUA set.

The Eels Ankle for Vigo
Composed and presented live at a Cova dos Ratos in Vigo, Spain on 11-20-2008. Also a small unannouced impropmtu Bodycocktail set was performed that evening. The only drawback was the sound system was not great.
