Most great rock bands from the sixties and seventies are still rolling, and some are performing at the top of their game.
The Barbarians of Sevilla consist of three guys of ‘that age’, plus a vital and stunning lead singer of half those years.
And they do sound like, after a rich decades-long history, they are right now in their very prime.

The sheer intensity and sonic richness that these four produce is scary. Princess Vanessa sings her wise lyrics over the sledgehammer sound of a true rock band that knows what they’re doing, and that knows when to turn up, or turn down.

They play beautiful custom guitars and vintage amplifiers, and a drum kit whose simplicity belies the groove that comes forth.

And like with the good rock bands of the Golden Years: no two songs are alike: the focus is on musicality and diversity, to better entertain the audience.

And of course on out-playing those dang young whippersnappers.
