THE ZEROS - ViViENDO EL MOMENTO

El próximo 10 de Septiembre la Associación de la Música de San Diego otorgará a los Zeros el Lifetime Achievement Award en reconocimiento a su labor como banda precursora del punk-rock en California. Esto sólo es el cúlmen de lo que ha sido un verano más que prolífero para los chicanos. En Junio los miembros originales de la banda, se reunian despues de 15 años para tocar en el Bar Brink de Berkeley. Lo que inicialmente iba a ser un único concierto se convirtió en una mini gira estatal que luego les llevaría al resto del país y que a principios de año recalará en Italia (afortunados ellos). La reunión, tal y como cuenta La Prensa de San Diego se debió a la insistencia de uno de sus fans, "Bobby Adopted" quien escribía a Escovedo casi a diario pidiéndole lo que en un principio parecía imposible.

Peñalosa: “All of these shows have been sold out and enthusiastically received. Kids (who were not born when these songs were written) know all the words and are singing along to our songs. We have seen old punks and young punks and a number of long lost friends at our shows. That has been a big treat for me. We are really grateful for everything that has happened recently. We weren’t really planning on doing more than three or four shows, but we have decided that while there is a demand we will deliver.”

SKY SAXON R.i.P.


Los Seeds llegaron a mi al final de la adolescencia a través de los Zeros y mas tarde sería Johnny Thunders y su versión de "I can't seem to make you mine" quien me despertase el gusanillo por los angelinos. Rest in Peace Sky Saxon.

You're pushin' too hard, you're pushin' on me,
You're pushin' too hard, what you want me to be,
You're pushin' too hard, about the things you said,
You're pushin' too hard every night and day,
You're pushin' too hard, you're pushin' too hard,
On me...
Well all I want is to just be free,
Live my life the way I wanna be,
All I want is to just have fun,
Live my life like it's just begun,
But you're pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard,
On me...
You better listen girl what I'm telling you,
You better listen girl, or we are through,
You better stop all your foolin' around,
Stop the runnin' all over town.
'Cause you're pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard,
On me...
Well I know there's not a fish in the sea,
I know some wouldn't stay by me,
So if you ever don't think I'm gonna try,
You better ask yourself a reason why,
'Cause you're pushin' too hard, pushin' too hard,
On me...
Pushin' too hard,
pushin' too hard,
pushin' too hard,
pushin' too hard on me...
Pushin' too hard,
pushin' too hard,
pushin' too hard,
pushin' too hard on me...





I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
You fly around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I try everything I know
To make you wanna love me so
The only things you do
Is try to put the hurt on me

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
In every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you

Can't go on like this
A little bit of love and not one kiss
I've gotta have your love every day
Love that's real and will stay
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
In every breath and step
I take I'm more in love with you

I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back baby to me
And my misery
I give you love night and day
Never ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
