Free Post: Lucybell



My favorite Chilean band is Lucybell.

Lucybell is an alternative rock group, formed is the early 90´s.

Lucybell was born in 1991 in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Chile. Marcelo Muñoz, Claudio Valenzuela, Gabriel Vigliensoni were partners in the Career of Arts and Sound and Francisco González was studying bachelor's in English. This is how they know and begin to form the band, inspired by the British alternative rock that time.



Claudio Valenzuela (vocals, guitar), Francisco Gonzalez (drums), Marcelo Muñoz (bass) and Gabriel Vigliensoni (keyboard) were grouped in 1991 under the name of Lucybell. In the beginning they do concerts at various universities for become a band more famous.
In 1994 the band signed a contract with EMI Music Chile for the production of their first album, called "Fish", produced by Mario Breuer.
This album has two big hits, "De sudor y ternura" and "Grito otoñal".
The Association of Entertainment Journalists (APES) awarded to the band as Disclosure Group in 1995.
On February 13, 1998 participated in the International Song Festival of Vina del Mar. The same year released a new album "Lucybell" album produced by Oscar Lopez and Lucybell. The September 18, 1999, in Valparaiso, the band performed one last time with his original lineup. This is because Gabriel and Marcelo Munoz Vigliensoni decided to leave the band. His replacement on bass joined Eduardo Caces.



In 2000 released the album Sunrise, first album as a trio of the band. It was produced by Eduardo Bergallo and Lucybell, with hits like "Milagro" and "Luces no bélicas." In 2001 the band released their first live production, entitled Session Futura, its first production in DVD format. On February 20, 2003 were presented for the second time in the International Song Festival of Vina del Mar.
In April 2004 they releasedLumina”. With this album could be more recognized internationally. This has the big hit "Salvame la vida."
In May 2005, Francisco Gonzalez, founding member of the band, left the band. In its place comes the drummer of the Chilean rock band drachma, Cote Foncea.
Actually the band is touring nationally and internationally celebrating its 21 year history and with all its members together.
I am very happy and anxious for the June 23 I will go with my boyfriend to enjoy a new Lucybell concert, this concert will be special because will meet all members of the band. I'm waiting to hear these new sounds and feel a new energy.

Outdoor Activity




My principal outdoor activity is going to the trips of my university for my career.
Really I’m not sporty, I’m very bad for the sports, and my physic condition is dreadful. In my infancy I liked very much go to play with my neighbors, I played football, races, roller skating and cycling. But after my life became very sedentary, the asignature that I hated in school was physical education. I really did not do anything at that time.


Is for this that I could say that my unique outdoor activity is travel to differents place of my country, know, study, etc.
Fortunately I had a chance to go to several places like the beach “Las Cruces” andCartagena”, a national park can not remember his name, Lo Valdez, the mountains, to Farellones, etc., but definitely the place I liked know was Cahuil.
Was the longer trip, its duration was 4 days. We met people there and its attractions, as the lake is around.
Last year I had the opportunity to do a sport at my university, did aerobics. At first it was very difficult for me to keep pace, plus the teacher was very strict with me because I was not a good student.
We did many exercises of legs, arms and abs. The final test was to do 100 crunches and jogging for 30 minutes. Actually to me this was absolutely impossible, but I finally do.
For me it was a great achievement and overcoming for my body, maybe after I enroll in this sport again.
