Bio : Emergency Blanket

The music of Peruvian rock band Emergency Blanket is fully charged with life and energy. With influences from rock classics from the 60’s, 70’s and 90’s “the Blankets” achieve a very classical but yet very fresh and original sound.

The EP "What is the Emergency Blanket?" was recorded in 2005 after a solid year of playing live in various local venues. This EP was recorded in the band's rehearsal room "Big House" which was improvised as a recording studio and had rave reviews.
The song "Next Passenger" was a hit and was played in the most important radio stations and the band managed to get a 2 page article in the prestigious Rolling Stone Magazine (South American edition 2006) which headed "The band that breaks with the language frontiers" making reference to the band’s innovative characteristics of singing in English in a Spanish speaking country.

The LP "Combi + Nation" (2008) was the band’s first full fledge album. This production includes a new concept which includes songs in Spanish, English and songs that even combine both languages.
This new concept worked well as the band experimented with different sounds and rhythms such as "Lando" a traditional Peruvian genre and "guitarra criolla" a Peruvian style guitar. "Combi + Nation" also makes reference to the diverse and rich culture that Peru represents to the world.
The LP contains 11 tracks and was mixed and mastered at Lima 32 Avenger Studio, Los Angeles California by Peruvian sound engineer German Villacorta (who has worked with musicians such as Ozzy Osbourne, Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, Stone Temple Pilots among others) who gave the album a very powerful and rich sound.

In March 2008 the band participated in the 1st "Festival Claro" (the most important music event in the country) where they won the "Rock & Pop" Category with their song "La Conexion" which appears in the album "Combi + Nation". Thousands of bands participated in this event. After that they went to play in front of crowds of 15,000+ in cities like Trujillo and Ica in support of Peruvian pop singer “Gian Marco”.




In 2009 they opened for Faith No More in their “Second Coming World Tour” in Lima.

In 2010 they won the Peoples Music Awards (Metal/Punk/Indie/Rock) in London and also completed their first european tour playing in 3 countries and 9 cities in total. In Zurich they opened for legendary Spanish band “Hombres G”.
They got this comments from the judges “I am very impressed by their energy and enthusiasm and the quality of their writing and playing. Sign them somebody so I can work with them!” (TONY PLATT – Worked with Paul McCartney, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Who, Rolling Stones among others) and “They show great promise and can expect interest from anyone with ears for good music.” (Mick Glossop worked with Van Morrison and Frank Zappa)
