Details:
Nutria N.N. (No Name, Nomen Nominandum) is an otter, is a band, is the oldest nickname of its founder member Christian Torres-Roje, who in the 90's was part of the experimental trio Maestro, in Chile. In 2001 he moves to Brooklyn to continue his music education and starts putting a band together. Torres-Roje and his friends form a rather odd mix, with roots in rock and Chilean folk. Inspired by poets such as Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia-Lorca and Walt Whitman, and by artists like Victor Jara and Bob Dylan, Nutria N.N. is forging their own voice and sound. They are now promoting their second effort "Nutria N.N.", which has already received good reviews and comments. More over, the famous Chilean poet Nicanor Parra has become a fan of the band. Other highlights include their appearance in the video "Homeless lamp" (by his friend and producer Ivan Navarro) -which was acquired by the Saatchi Collection (London) and the Fundacion Arco (Madrid)- and a concert at Exit Art (NYC) sharing the bill with fellow Brooklynites Au Revoir Simone. In January 2007 Nutria N.N.´s work was reviewed in The New York Times: "[Nutria N.N.] gives an almost exquisite poignancy to the lyrics..." said Roberta Smith, Art in Review, NY Times.)
