The Band

Alex Apodaca - Multi-instrumentalist

About us


Alex Apodaca came to London some years ago from his native Spain in search of his rock-pop dream. Before that, he had lead a band in Spain called “The Business” (not to be confused with the English punk band). They released an EP with Submarine Records to great critical acclaim. However, the market is difficult to English-singing bands in Spain, and Alex Apodaca also felt the need to embrace British culture in order to improve his song-writing skills. He moved to the old country and started assimilating everything that gives British bands that special edge. He formed a hard-rock band called Red Maria that developed a faithful following in the London circuit and sang with them for three years. Red Maria eventually disbanded for personal reasons. That’s when Alex Apodaca decided to start his first solo project.

During 2007/2008 he embarked on a colossal project writing, recording and performing an album at his home studio (with Gavin F. Monaghan, ex-guitarist in Red Maria, giving a valuable helping hand). The album under the title “Stranger In Nowhere Land” has now been finished and is filled with possible hit singles like “Hallelujah New York Girl“, “Broken“ or “Mr. Mean's Back In Town“. As the title suggests, the album tries to reflect on how a foreigner, a stranger, sees and interprets the pop world invented by The Beatles and their contemporaries, a world we could give the name of Nowhere Land. The challenge during 2008 will be releasing and promoting the songs in as many ways as possible.

As a member of the London Underground Busking Scheme Alex Apodaca has played well over 200 times in the last two years covering classics from Johnny Cash, The Doors, Neil Young, The Beatles, etc... as well as playing his own material. That’s more than enough to get rid of stage fright!

The artist will also use this platform from now on to expose “Stranger In Nowhere Land” to the public. A unique opportunity to stick his songs into the minds of millions of travellers every day. Nobody will be able to deny that this is true underground pop-rock!

He is also currently gathering musicians to play the material live with a full backing band and tour the country.
