Never a stage saw such a short career. Never the fans were so thunderstruck, looking perplexed and deciding whether to congratulate the band… or give their condolences.

With this glamour, 42 Buttons was born in January 2016.

Obviously, with those credentials, it was a matter of time that José Medina (drums) and Francisco Vela (trombone) joined the band in the next months.

But, why 42? Well, maybe this was one of the deepest secrets of the band, but we can anticipate that it’s related to their electronically tinted sound. In agreement with the radio programme “Hoy En Madrid”, by Onda Madrid “in 42 buttons, you can find an unusual mix of usual instruments with electronic ones that result in new addictive rhythms”.

Today, no one has defined more clearly the sound of this combo like the digital media La Ganzúa, in a review of a gig they did with the Spanish band Aurora & the Betrayers and Fundación Tony Manero. Critics have spotlighted “the complete and energetic concert which convinced to all the public, with an excellent mix of funk, jazz excerpts, ska and old rock with a particular smell of a 70's movie soundtrack”.

That’s the presentation of 42 buttons. Energy and “a good ability to balance instrument virtuosity and entertainment”.

With rehearsals full of “torreznos” and a vast creative potential, only in 4 months, they composed a complete set list, signed for the Fender Club 2nd Band Contest and won the first prize. A real achievement where their daring sound and their ability to trigger people's emotions opened the gate, not only to win the contest but also to the Cultura Inquieta Festival stage.

Nowadays, the band is finishing in the Headroom Studios at Madrid the post-production and mastering of their brand-new release: A live DVD with the gig they did at Cultura Inquieta with, in proper words of the band, “the aim is that the beautiful bodies and the turgid buttocks of the audience can't stop moving”.
