Next friday 4 February, Ocho y Medio Club in Madrid presents the official showing of "Como un fan", the new video clip by LA CASA AZUL."Como un fan" ("Like a fan") is nothing but a clear statement coming from a band like LA CASA AZUL, deeply fascinated by pop culture in its most colourful shapes, and this first ever public broadcast means also a great party, a celebration of pop music as a way of life that you shouldn't miss.

The video, shot during the past summer, starts introducing the five band members, one by one, and then we meet them in different day-to-day situations: playing sports (skating, in the swimming pool, playing tennis); at home (having breakfast, reading, listening to music); at the highschool. Afterwards we will see them perform at an imaginary TV show (Canal HI-FI), surrounded by many crazed fans, mad about their songs, who dance over circular platforms as seen so many times in the footage from the 60's. The tribute to the aesthetics of pop's golden age is complete with the wink to the Beatles' "A hard day's night", with the band being chased around the city by their fanatic followers.

Before and after watching this premiere we will dance to the music played by DJ POLAR (one of the more danceable and enjoyable DJ's in the spanish pop scene, with residence slots in clubs as Ocho y Medio in
Madrid or Mond Club in Barcelona) and Guille Milkyway (composer and producer of LA CASA AZUL): both will play together in a promising four-hand set that will select the best songs you can imagine, from a wide range of styles linked by their common sense of fun and good taste: disco, bubblegum, soft-pop, j-pop, easy listening, moogs, mellotrons and claviers, California and Philadelphia, northern soul, europop and, above all, the most catchy choruses in pop music. A great selection of hedonistic and danceable music, with a real knowledge of their subject, going through plenty styles and visiting quite few different countries on the way.
