Perhaps your taste buds are craving some of this exotic & flavorful music?
Listening to Castles in Spain is like sipping red wine, smoking hashish and drinking a shot of espresso. The music is an opiate, which transcends life's trials,delivering solace and the possibility of salvation. With a certain Castilian/Moorish flavor, Castles in Spain takes you on a spiritual field trip through the darker recesses of the soul. Dirges darken catacombs while wine cellar skeletons buried long ago surface to see the light of day. Hope, warmth, and then back down again. Don Quixote meets Edgar Allen Poe.
The San Francisco Bay Guardian describes the music as "Bombay Zeppelin. "Imagine Jimmy Page and Robert Plant riding through the desert, kicking up dust and camel shit at some Cairo bazaar, where Chrissie Hynde is sitting in with Jane's Addiction, playing Black Sabbath and middle-eastern folk music."
While building a loyal fan base, Castles In Spain have been using their brilliant but hard to peg music and powerful performance style to benefit others. Front woman, Biachi, puts on Annual Women Who RAWK events in San Francisco, which brings together local bands to raise both funds and awareness for the Breast Cancer Fund. Completing the Castles' sound are Joe Birtola on bass, Derek Richmond on guitar and Anthony Verdier on drums & percussion.

Hey Guys! Thanks for the addition. Your sound is phenomenally unique. One must say whoever hoarded all descriptive words and verbiage in depiction; "About Castles of Spain" encompass style of brilliance within his/her linguistic form. Couple of songs’ harmonious melody, may be used in some form of meditation or simply silencing the internal angst accumulated within the soul … glad you people are out there!
