The Pains of Beng Pure at Heart

This New York band loves Madrid. Every year they visit the city at least once, and this time their host is Joy Eslava. The band, which currently has just one original member (Kip Berman) is in town to present their fourth (and possibly last) album, 'The Echo of Pleasure'. We say it could be their last album because Berman is a new dad and he seems to be leaning toward making that his full-time job. For now the Spanish tour starts off in Madrid (there will be five other shows around the country) with Christoph Hochheim on guitar, Jess Rojas on keyboards, and Chris Shackerman on drums.
