COMO LAS DEMÁS
La reina de los mares
no sabe nadar
se mantiene a flote
sólo con soñar.
La reina de los mares
se ahoga en un mar,
en un mar de dudas
como las demás.
After the lyrical drama of Vamos A Morir (1986-1992) and the wild expressionism of Demonios Tus Ojos (1987-1989), being both groups good representatives of experimental and avant-garde rock, Javier Colis (composer, guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer) created in 1991 Mil Dolores Pequeños, together with Ajo (singer and songwriter). With the incorporation of Javier Piñango (producer, synthesizer and percussion) and the collaboration of Jaime Munárriz (co-producer, bass, trumpet, harmonica, keyboards), they gave shape to "Lady Lazarus", first and amazing discographic contribution of the group. It was a very personal blend where we find quite different sound "landscapes": from acoustic placidity to hiperelectricity, from old German cabaret echoes to psychoindustrial environments. Later, it came "Soul Shack" (1994), the confirmation that "Lady Lazarus" was not just a sheer coincidence, and a more restrained and gloomy "Madrid Capone" (1996). This was trumpetist Markus Breuss' first collaboration with Mil Dolores Pequeños. Javier Piñago left the group and created Destroy Mercedes. Javier's brother Nacho Colis (drums, chorus and an occasional bassist), became a permanent part of the group. In October 1998, "Opio", fourth album of the group, was published. This is, for the great majority, the best work of the group. In 1995, it was published an EP with four versions of "De la piel pa'dentro mando yo", which is an original track of "Soul Shack", whose lyrics are a convincing anti-prohibitionist allegation written by the philosopher and jurist Antonio Escohotado, who collaborated in two of the four versions of the theme playing guitar and singing. For their concerts, Mil Dolores Pequeños use different collaborators. We must emphasise the collaboration, for instance, of artists such as Alejo Alberdi (ex Derribos Arias), Jaime Munárriz (Destroy Mercedes), Susana Cáncer (ex Chatarreros de Sangre y Cielo), Javier Bermejo, Margarita Blanca or Luis Escribano (ex Clónicos).
