We are still alive!! The countdown is ending. Because of our complicated life on these difficult times, the album recording sessions never ended. But I think before December, we’ll offer you our first album. And with it, we wish to do new concerts showing you all that we learn playing all this time. The Viking Hamsters are coming again!
Coming soon! With an album or something similar!

One day my mother bought me underpants. Yes, I’m 29 years old and my mother still decides these things (but not always). Well, the question is… one of the underpants was very original. It had all the rainbow colors. All my family laughed when I wore it. All my friends laughed too. But I liked it. Whereas these underpants were very comfortable. I were happy wearing my Rainbow Underpants!
Thinking on it, and thinking on happiness, I had the need to explain that sometimes, people need an excuse to be happy. But why? By default, many people was angry, sad. Ok, then I wanted to create an easy excuse to be happy. To think that with anything (abstract or material), people could be happy. And here appeared the RAINBOW SOCKS concept! While you have your rainbow socks, you can be happy, and of course without it! If you are happy with anything, then the bad things during your life can lead to better.
Thus it appears the lyrics of this song, RAINBOW SOCKS. And why Rainbow Socks if I talking about my rainbow underpants? Well, Albert Andreu, like always, created a very incredible melody but “RAINBOW UNDERPANTS” didn’t fit on it. Then we changed it!
I wish you enjoy it!

RAINBOW SOCKS
Is it real or not, I’m right or I’m wrong
Doesn’t matter the sky, isn’t gray
Regrets and lies, attacks and defends
I’m walking around undaunted
What’s done is done, what’s happened is past
I’m happy with my rainbow socks
People suffer and the world is going down
But every day dawns again
Do you love me? Is an evident fact.
Do I love you? Of course my honey
Now you are on my heart but you
follow the way, don’t look to my eyes
Another dream goes away
but the road is full of chances
The world is going down but I’ll be fine
while my rainbow socks shines
aaaaaah wearing colors in my life … why people don’t want this way……
aaaaaah it’s raining rainbow socks again. give me your love.
August 2009. Albert and I were in a journey from Barcelona to France. Some days ago, Albert began to compose a new melody with his piano. Now, while we relaxed on the sand beaches along the Catalonian and France coasts, brainstorming processes talking about everything gave us a lot of ideas for lyrics. We began to know that R.A.S. not only was a band to play covers from other artists. Talking about the crisis, the global economy system… with my old Spanish guitar worn by the sun and the sea salt, we gave the soul to “CHANGE NOW” song. It is the second R.A.S. song… well maybe the first VIKING HAMSTERS song… we don’t know exactly. Since that travel, we decided that our way would go in the path of our songs, not cover songs.
Well, here you have CHANGE NOW lyrics. We believe that the first step to overcome the actual situation is to believe in yourself, to believe that you can do all you want. Leave the system, take the control of your life, stop the wheel and think positive my friend. CHANGE NOW!!!!!

CHANGE NOW!
Welcome to the land
Where the wheel never stops
Living with stress
Doesn’t matter because we have it all
There’s no time for smiles
We must work really hard
To be able to buy
The happiness in the Promised Land
Your life belongs to me
Now your voice is mine
Just follow me
Be just once more … in my mind
Numbers, we are just numbers
perfect figures to align
Mire, we are just mire
perfect figures to mold
Take the control of your life
And be the person that you´d like to be
Change now! your mind
And create the path of your new being
How blind we have been
Agreeing to this reality
To live the future today
Without knowing that this will be our tomorrow.
6th November, 17h, Les Cotxeres de Sants, Barcelona. We will play in a Rock Festival with Harvest and Frank Albir. The first time in a big stage, maybe more than 800 people… We’ wish you’ll be there!
