Fully-equipped flat rentals for short stays in the heart of Madrid.

Morrissey

The fact that Morrissey is returning to Madrid is reason enough for many of his fans to flock to his show at the Saturday Night Fiber. After all, his fans know they are not exaggerating when they say you can't talk about the history of pop music without mentioning Morrissey, the mythical British singer and songwriter behind The Smiths, the band he was with from 1982 to 1987. His latest single All you need is Morrissey was released in April, and the title reveals his enormous self-confidence! Morrissey has clearly created songs with a personal trademark and a characteristic style that resist the passing of time, to the point that they feel like they could have been composed yesterday.

Mika

After creating anthems capable of brightening up the darkest morning, Mika positioned himself as the new big thing in 2007 with Life In Cartoon Motion, a contagious debut that earned critical acclaim and mainstream sales. A fan of Queen, Prince and Elton John, with a hint of Wham! and of Rufus Waingwright and Beck, Mica Penniman seems ready to return glam and camp irony to British pop music.

Babyshambles

Pete Doherty and Co., Babyshambles, have published their second album, Shotter's Nation, which according to the lead singer is their best work yet. Recorded at the Olympic studios in London and produced by Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths), the songs show a range that the band had always insinuated but had never taken to a record. Twelve tracks with a considerable variety of influences: from The Kinks to punk, or Stone Roses, with a touch of Soul 2 Soul, the indie tunes of the 80s, Madness, Blondie, Tamla Motown or Brit pop. The last song on the album is a real winner: The lost art of murder is an acoustic rendition performed with Bert Jansch, a legend of British folk music and a magnificent guitarist. Doherty reasserts himself as one of the greatest composers and singers of the last twenty years.

My Bloody Valentine

During the few years they were together, from 1985 to 1991, My Bloody Valentine were one of the most influential bands in punk and created a style that some have called shoegazing and noise. The group gave noise an openly aesthetic value in their last album Loveless from 1991. Now they're back together and plan on doing an international tour and releasing new material, alongside their classic tracks.

The Rumble Strips

Any concert these five musicians give is the perfect excuse for a party: they are fresh, fun, happy and friendly. Many have compared them to groups like Dexy's Midnight Runners, The Style Council or Vincent Vincent & The Villains, since their music is closely related to soul and pop. Their first album Girls and Weather was released in 2007. Fans are eagerly awaiting their second record.

Hot Chip

Made in The Dark, Hot Chip's latest album, has catapulted them to a privileged position in the international electronic scene. Their musical proposal reflects how the band members, Alexis Taylos, Joe Goddard, Owen Clarke, Al Doyle and Felix Martin, feel towards new sounds applied to pop. They see tracks as the main backbone of the album, and obviously as the perfect element for experimentation. Titles like Over and over or Ready for the floor reveal their ability to make poetry with synthetic sounds.  

Siouxsie

Mantaray is the first solo album released by Siouxsie, who, with her Banshees, was a legend of after- and post-punk music. The artist, who has always been a free spirit, now appears happy, convincing and elegant. Once again, her music accommodates a wide range of styles: from cabaret, to glam or electronic music. An explosive cocktail that will definitely spark a reaction, because Siouxsie stands for magnetism.
