NOTHINK "Stay Away" (NIRVANA Cover)

La Sortie was formed by childhood friends under the name of  The Feedback Noise in their hometown, El Puerto Santa María, located in the southern-most province of Spain between an American Naval Station and the hometown of legendary flamenco singer Camarón (San Fernando). The three-piece band self-produced two ten-track demo recordings Excuse You (2004) and The Feedback Noise (2005) before their debut album as La Sortie. 

La Sortie (2010) was recorded intermittently between fall 2006 and early 2007. Produced by Colin Preston, mixed by Pablo Iglesias in Madrid and mastered in New York by Andy Vandette, it was not released until 2010 since the band took a hiatus to develop their professional careers outside of music. Recorded with both English and Spanish lyrics, only the latter was published. It included two English songs featured in the soundtrack of Unnatural Causes (Sony Pictures 2008) starring Angus Macfayden and Tara Reid, and a track with Barcelona based Unfinished Sympathy’s singer, Eric Fuentes.

In 2013, the band coincidentally reunited in Germany and recorded Volcanoes (2014) back home at Javier Ruibal's Lo Suyo Studios during summer vacation from their daily jobs. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2015 as their members split across New York City, Barcelona and Granada (Spain). During this time, their guitarist and vocalist worked on solo project Sparks (2018), a 5 songs EP recorded at studios in New York, Buenos Aires, Budapest, Gdansk and Annecy. 
After recording a few EPs and winning some band contest awards, the band decides to record their debut album with British producer Colin Preston (Skunk Anansie, Reef). 

Following the advice of respected Spanish bands and musicians close to the band like Enrique Bunbury or Javier Ruibal and also from bands they opened for like Pereza, O'Funk'illo or Nacho Vegas, the band decides to record their originally English written songs in Spanish.

They decide to name the Spanish lyrics project as La Sortie which will eventually become the band's new name as the project moves forward. La Sortie complete their album mixing it in Madrid with Pablo Iglesias (Los Piratas, Pereza) and mastering it in New York with Andy Vandette (David Bowie, Deep Purple, Beastie Boys).

The band starts touring in Spain and opening for popular national bands like The Unfinished Sympathy, Burning, Nacho Vegas, and French bands like Burning Heads and Uncommonmenfrommars.

The band started conversations with some record labels to release their album in Spain but in summer of 2007 they decided to get on an indefinite stand-by period and the album didn't get published.

Three years later, when the musical industry fully evolved towards digital distribution and free streaming services like Spotify became extremely popular, the band decides to release their debut album independently through Ditto Music, a digital music distributor from the United Kingdom.

The album has 11 songs and two bonus tracks in English from the Original Soundtrack of Unnatural Causes/Clean Break movie (a Sony Pictures and Drimtim Entertainment production).

It also features Eric Fuentes (The Unfinished Sympathy), Domi Gonzalez (Los Cucas) and Jose Recacha and Javi Ruibal (Glazz) among other friends of the band.

Their second album, Volcanoes, was written and pre-produced from 3 different cities in Germany in 2012 and 2013 and recorded in summer of 2013 on their 10th anniversary with the current band members. For this new project they recorded at Javier Ruibal's Lo Suyo Studios in El Puerto Santa Maria (south coast of Spain) with childhood friends Jose Recacha and Javi Ruibal as producers.  The album was mastered by Victor Garcia at Ultramarinos Costa Brava in Sant Feliu de Guixols, GI (Spain). The album was launched in March 2014.
