The project
At the beginning of the 90s in the musical panorama and echoing the dominant alternative wave in the Anglo-Saxon countries, a noisy response arose in Spain. It was on several fronts that a national "indie" scene, little supported by the media, gradually began to take hold.
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time photographing these new bands during concerts and interviews. From then on, I kept this "treasure" jealously, protecting it as best I could from social networks and the medias which, facing the lack of existing graphic material, coveted it.
It is time, almost 30 years later, to share it with you.
This square book, 25x25 cm and 150 pages, collects photos and texts from many national and international groups. List planned to date:
Alias Galor, Australian Blonde, Automatics, Beef, The Breeders, Cocteau Twins, Javier Corcobado, Corn Flakes, Crank, Ray Dickaty, Doctor Explosión, Echobelly, El Inquilino Comunista, El Regalo de Silvia, Elena, Especie Sub, Eliminator Jr, Flow, Football, Furious Planet, Gallygows, Guedeon Della, Guiller Momonje, Heavenly, HD Substance, Hébridas, Happy Losers, Hipsters, Honey Langstrumpf, Iluminados, Inoxidables, Insanity Wave, Intronautas, Kebrantas, La Buena vida, La Nube, Lagartija Nick, Le Mans, The Lemonheads, Los Flechazos, Los Planetas, Loopside, Maddening Flames, Manta Ray, Medication, Mercromina, Mercury Rev, Meteoro, Migala, Nosoträsh, Nothing, Onion, Otis Wood, Painful, Parkinson DC, Pavement, Penelope Trip, Phantom Dog, Los Planetas, Polar, The Posies, The Pribata Idaho, Prozack, Radiohead, Revolution 9, Ride, Rinôçérôse, Sr. Chinarro, Sexy Sadie, Silvania, Solex, Sonic Youth, Spring, Stereolab, Strange Fruit, The Killjoys, The Pastels, Usura, The Yellow Melodies, Venas Plutón, The Wedding Present, Yellow Finn, Yogur...

The author: Nathalie Paco
It is thanks to studies of cinema and photography that I entered the world of the musical press in 1993. I worked as director of photography for the musical review Spiral and I was the official photographer of Benicasim music festival for 13 years.
My photo archives collect more than 700 groups and several festivals in Spain. This book represents a period of my professional career.
Currently I still work as a freelance photographer and I run Todayimages, my photo agency, at the same time as I work as a teacher in a French Institute in Spain.

Es con mucha felicidad que anuncio que el crowdfunding de mi libro INDIESIDE esta conseguido y finalizado. Lo que era un proyecto se ha convertido en una realidad. Ahora toca descansar un par de dias despues de 6 meses intensos y laboriosos de busquedad, contactos, difusion..... A principio de enero con Jorge Palomar Martínez y Paloma Losada empezaremos a maquetar esperando recibir en cuanto antes los últimos textos y autorizaciones de imagenes que faltan y tenemos previsto tener el libro impreso a finales de febrero.
Otro gran trabajo esta por empezar, el de componer el libro y que los textos e imágenes cuenten la historia musical que se vivió en los años 90.
Quiero agradecer a todos los mecenas su participación, a los artistas y demas personas que participan al libro, a la prensa y todas las personas que me ha difundido y los periodistas que me han entrevistado, a mi familia y mis amigos que me han apoyado, a todos los que en creido en mi y quieren que este libro retrate parte de la escena musical en España y a las plataformas de participación colectiva como Verkami que nos permiten tener la ilusion y capacidad para poder poner en marcha proyectos independientes en los que la gente que participa activamente se involucra y nos motiva a seguir creando sueños colectivos.
