Histórico del rock sevillano, sobre todo como insigne primer espada del genial e irrepetible Silvio para quien estuvo siempre a disposición como guitarrista prodigioso obligado a conducir y en muchas ocasiones a levantar él solo cualquier actuación de tan imprevisible y "alcoholista" personaje orquestando y secundándole con su toque personal, y en tan larga trayectoria siempre a la sombra de ese y otros figuras como, por ejemplo, Kiko Veneno, es a estas alturas cuando Andrés Herrera, conocido como "El Pájaro", se ha decidido a publicar trabajo en solitario presentando primeramente un Ep de dos canciones, lanzado en Octubre del 2011 (publicado por Happy Place Records y promocionado recientemente en una entrevista en 'El Loco Soy Yo'), y en el que se incluye una emblemática canción del repertorio de Silvio, 'Las Criaturas' [escucha aquí la versión original] (la letra una adaptación libre de un poema de San Juan De La Cruz), pero para el que esta vez pone además de la guitarra su cante, y además se incluye un tema nuevo, 'Santa Leone', instrumental en el que mezcla la música surf, reminiscencias de marcha procesional de Semana Santa y ecos de Morricone. Pura idiosincrasia sureña.
Historic rock musician in the little but very peculiar music scene in Seville (South Spain) as a remarkable guitarist for that unique character that was the singer called Silvio, for whom he was always available as a prodigious guitarist who could lift himself with his very personal playing any performance of such an unpredictable and alcoholist character, and spending his long career always in the shadow of this and other figures, like for example Kiko Veneno, is at this point when Andres Herrera, known as "The Bird", has decided to release a solo work launching in October of the past year this Ep with two songs, including a classic from Silvio's repertoire, 'Creatures' (lyrics inspired in a poem by St. Juan De La Cruz), but this time with his own vocals and including a new theme, 'St. Leone', instrumental in which he mixes surf guitar, processional march music reminiscent of Spanish Easter religious week and some echoes of Morricone. Pure Southern Spanish idiosyncrasies.
