It's been a while since we posted something. Well, we've been pretty busy. But more on that very soon!
Monday 19th of July we were invited by KX Radio to play some tunes on their Downtown Café show. Also, Maurino did a short interview with radio host Mijke. For those who missed it live, you can still check it out by downloading the podcast right here.

We want to invite you all to a special event at club Panama* on June 7th! We were able to form a program of our own, and have invited close friends and great musicians to turn this night into a memorable one. Supercity, Manuel Gatti and of course we ourselves will be playing on stage. On top of that, DJ Rodrigo (¿Que Pasa?, Fiesta Macumba) will provide everyone with some latin tunes to dance to. Come along and enjoy these Amsterdam - South American vibes!
Get your tickets here.
BUT IF YOU RSVP ON OUR FACEBOOK AS *ATTENDING* YOU WILL GET IN FOR FREE!
Supercity
Fusing Sudaca jazz, blues-rock, Malian jazz, desert-blues, gypsy-swing, Balkan twangs and dub beats, Supercity’s sound is skillfully concocted from the melting pots of an up-rooted world. Drawing inspiration from every continent, ATICO (their first CD) is held together by strong arrangements and sharp lyrics, while their live shows are quickly gaining them a reputation amongst revellers and music-heads alike.
From warehouse spaces, to Amsterdam’s infamous Paradiso; from living room gigs to theatres, Supercity performs with a flexible line-up that can include the whole gauntlet of vocals, drums, contrabass, percussion, trumpets and guitars – not to mention the odd travelling musician or singer who happens to be passing by. As they flow through structured songs and inspirational improvisations, be it as a duo (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), or with the whole shebang on stage, their joyous celebration of music catches the spirit of everyone that sees them. From their beginnings in an Amsterdam attic, this band honed their sound in a basement studio - and now they’re fully fired-up and ready to take you on a trip in a Mexican fez.
Manuel Gatti
Manuel Gatti is a 26-year old singer and guitarist from Chile, combining the sharp guitar sounds inherited from 70s rock with the more melodic influences from pop music. He is currently presenting his self-titled debut album, released in Santiago de Chile in mid-2009. On this album Manuel Gatti plays with contrasts, balancing between hard rock riffs and sweet love verses. As he describes it himself: “This is an album of pop songs played by a rock band”.
In 2009, Manuel Gatti did several major shows in Santiago de Chile, presenting his debut album in La Batuta, where he played with his power trio in front of a sold out crowd. The climax of his live shows was reached at a presentation at the Catholic University in front of more than 7000 people. His music received much acclaim from the press.
Currently Manuel Gatti lives in Amsterdam, writing his second album and presenting his latest work solo in local settings.

Hey dear friends!!!
We want to invite you all to check out our very first music video made by Thijs de Heer for "Desde Hoy", a song from our first EP! This "unofficial" clip was made for fun and shot on the day of our gig 'Spelen voor de GRAP' at Volta, Amsterdam. We really like the result, let us know what you think!

Our second EP! Yeah! The title is “Por Ahora”, which means “For Now” in Spanish. These three tracks illustrate the path that we are taking towards our first album. A first taste if you will. These three songs are based on our live versions, trying to put in the energy we like to give and receive when we perform our shows.
We hope you enjoy this, and even more so, we hope it will make you curious to check out our album expected this summer!
Download: Por Ahora [2010]
Nuestro Segundo EP! Así es! El nombre “Por Ahora” indica la muestra de los pasos que estamos dando hacia nuestro primer disco que saldrá este verano. Estas tres canciones están basadas en nuestras versiones en vivo, tratando de entregar esa misma energía.
Esperamos que les guste este pequeño testimonio, y mas, esperamos que los deje con ganas de escuchar nuestro primer disco que ya esta en camino!
Un abrazo!

Dear friends & amig@s,
Wow what a nice year it was! Filled with fun and learning all kinds of stuff! I just returned from a journey to Chile, and was there when Pachamama, mother earth, screamed in a way that seemed eternal. Physically I'm back in Amsterdam, glad and thankful to be here, but mentally I´m still there.
First I would like to introduce our newest member of the band: Rocco Brunori! He will play trumpet and percussion with us, combining melody and rhythms in a unique way. His talent combined with his open and friendly ways make him fit right into our collective! Bienvenuto Rocco!
Second, like many of you guys already know, we have an second EP coming out! You can already listen to it on our MySpace! We will press a limited edition of this EP, and sell it at our show on the 25th of March in Volta. We decided we will sell this disc just there because we want the profits to go 100% to the victims of the earthquake in Chile. So if you want to support us and Chile please do come and buy one of those babies!
And last but certainly not least, we would like to show you all with a strong sense of happiness the footage of a part of our show in the Melkweg last year!
And, dear friends, we expect to present our very first album this summer!!! Aaaarg! Soon more news about that!
Well, we will keep on working hard and intensely on what we like to do, and hope that 2010 will be as good for us as 2009! On behalf of TenTemPiés, I would like to thank all of you guys for listening to our music, showing up at the gigs and most of all for supporting us and for believing in our music and words!
Muchas gracias, and hope to see you all around soon,
Maurino Alarcón - TenTemPiés -
Queridos amigos & friends,
Que año fue! Un año completo con felicidad y con aprendizajes de todos tipos! Recién volví de un viaje a Chile, y justo me toco, con tantos mas, de escuchar el grito de Pachamama, Madre Tierra, que parecía ser eterno. Físicamente estoy de vuelta en Amsterdam, agradesido de estar bien, pero mentalmente sigo allá. Fuerza Chile!
Primero les quiero presentar nuestro miembro mas fresquito del grupo: Rocco Brunori! El tocara trompeta y percusión con nosotros, combinando la melodía y el ritmo con su timbre especial. Su talento en combinación con su amable y humilde persona hicieron que Rocco se integro al tiro dentro del colectivo! Vienvenuto Rocco.
Segundo, como much@s ya saben, hemos sacado un segundo EP! Lo pueden escuchar en nuestro MySpace! Va estar en la venta en una edición limitada, y se va vender solamente en nuestro próximo show. Esto porque queremos dar todo el dinero que se junte con las ventas del EP a las victimas del terremoto en Chile. O sea que si quieren apoyar a nosotros pero también los Chilenos afectado por el terremoto, pasen al show y compren se un EP!
El próximo show sera en VOLTA - Amsterdam, 25 de marzo a las 20.30! Espero verlos tod@s allá!
Y como ultima cosa, pero muy importante también, les presentamos con una sensación de mucha felicidad el vídeo de nuestro show en el Melkweg el año pasado. Sin duda nuestro mas grande show hasta ahora! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdB9PKZqqS4
Y amig@s lind@s, como si fuera poco, esperamos presentarles en este verano nuestro primer disco!!! AAARG! Pero en otra oportunidad les contaré mas sobre eso!
Bueno, estaremos en esto. Trabajando duro, con disciplina y concentración, haciendo lo que nos gusta y gustando lo que hacemos y esperamos que 2010 sea igual de bueno para nosotros que 2009! En nombre de TenTemPiés, los quiero agradeser a tod@s ustedes por escuchar nuestra música, por llegar a los recitales, y mas que nada por dar nos vuestro apoyo y por creer en nuestra música y mensaje!
Muchas gracias, y espero verl@s muy pronto, un abrazo,

Dear friends,
Wow... What a night! Yesterday we played in a nicely filled Melkweg (The Max) at the final round of the ´Amsterdamse Popprijs´ 2009.
We had a lot of fun, first time in such an impressive venue, so many friends that came to support us, a dressing room (!!!), the lights...
We feel that we rocked! We feel that we showed the public what we are capable of right now, and especially what our potential is for the future. People danced, cheered, sang, all of us had fun. We wanted to invite all to take part of this dance and this song, so that together, joining our forces our voices could reach much further.
The judges did not agree with the public. But well, part of entering such competition is respecting the opinion of these judges, and that is what TenTemPiés will do.
Thanks amigos, thanks amigas, hermanos, hermanas. Thanks for showing your support last night in the Melkweg, and all the times before! Gracias!
