In June of 2001, Professor Manso and Mister Fury met three times on three consecutive days on Carrer Pamplona in Poblenou, Barcelona. They hadn't seen each other since University, and quickly work out that they live less than 500 metres apart. On the fourth day, Mister Fury receives a call, asking him to compose the music for a TV series "Once Upon a Time in Europe". Furia calls Manso, and the digital production skills of the Profesor and the analogic sympathies of the Senor are united for the first time.
During the production, The Pinker Tones spend some time with Christopher Lee, who is narrating the programme. Encouraged by his enthusiasm for the music, which he insists in his trademark thick baritone is surely part of their artistic future, The Pinker Tones are born and Mr Lee learns where to buy the best chipironess and prawns.
From the first day, The Pinker Tones sessions release locked up energy and potential, causing our heroes to work like crazy, producing the songs and remixes that will become their debut collection PINK CONNECTION and the maxi singles Mais Pourquoi? and One of Them. The tracks are released by a small local label, but quickly come to international attention thanks to the incredible video for Mais Pourquoi, which spends 19 weeks on the MTV Dance Chart. The band are snapped up by UK based Outstanding Records, who re-issue Pink Connection with the international title BCN CONNECTION, and quickly move to open up the world to the Pinker Tones sound, signing licences across the world which sees the record released from Japan to Mexico.
Whilst the album travels around the world, the band produce several albums and singles of national and international groups (Bondage, ExMundus, Veldt, David Devant & His Spirit Wife), compose a pair of sound tracks (Sincopat and Survival Train) and dedicate a part of their time to experiment with remixes (Carrots, Alessandroni, Ufo, Capri, Klaus Esser, etc.). They leave the centre of Barcelona and establish Pinkerland 3.0. in the mountains overlooking the city, and begin work on the album that will pass all expectations and hoist them on to the world stage: THE MILLION COLOUR REVOLUTION. Released as a joint venture between Outstanding and their own Pinkerland Records impront, TMCR quickly conquers more than forty countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Japan, Korea, EE.UU., Canada, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela. The band realise they need a live show, and recruit DJ Nino to create a hybrid: The intensity of a rock band with the electronic dynamics of the DJ. Festivals topple before the mash up, with Sonar and Bestival early victims before BAM concludes with a hometown appearance in front of 30,000 rain soaked devotees.
The world touring starts, China, Russia, South Africa, UK, and a love/love relationship develops with Los Angeles, particularly Hollywood who snap up the band's soundtrack anthems for programmes such as Ugly Betty and Entourage, films Mujer de mi Hermano and Efectos Secondarios, and games like FIFA ' 07 and FORZA 2. Whole page reviews in The New York Times and The Washington Post confirm their arrival, and Amazon.com choose THE MILLION COLOUR REVOLUTION as 6th best album of 2006.
Somewhere in the middle of all the madness, Manso and Furia find time to collaborate with Kinky, Nortec Collective, Torpedo Boyz, Submarines, MiS and many others to create the double album of remixes MORE COLOURS, reinterpretations and remixes of TMCR done by various artists and the band themselves. Videos win awards (Karma Hunters wins two - both a LAUS and the Festival of Cinema Malaga), the tour goes to places that aren't even on the map (Moldova? Kazan?), and the band starts work on the follow up.
WILD ANIMALS is released in April 2008 and immediately displaces Radiohead's In Rainbows at the top of the eMusic chart. The Pinker Tones then briefly stop to headline Sonar in front of 20,000 people before undertaking the longest tour of the USA ever staged by a Spanish group, touching down in 45 cities in 54 days as part of the VANS WARPED TOUR 2008.
As a result of the tour, TPT songs pop up in Nick and Norah' s Infinite Playlist and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Nike asks the band to compose a special song for the Human Race, and TPT headline the event in Madrid in front of 11,000 runners. On the tour bus in America they are contacted by publicist and writer Risto Mejide, who convinces them to they produce the debut disc of his OT protege, Virginia Maestro. The project is called Labuat and sees the light of day in February of 2009, with tracks partly composed by the band. The following month, the Spanish music industry decides to recognise the hardest working band in national music with a Premios de la Musica for best electronic track S.E.X.Y. R.O.B.O.T.
At the moment, TPT are producing the third disc of Delafé y Las Flores Azules, whilst simultaneously providing remixes for The Beastie Boys, Stupid Eric (Cypress Hill), Salvador Santana Band, Josh Rouse, Kinky and Plastilina Mosh. Expect a new album early next year.
