The Final Curtain Call: Tears of Blood to Bid Farewell in 2025
By Your Favorite Comedic Commentator
Ah, Tears of Blood—no, not what you do when you stub your toe in the middle of the night! I’m talking about the critically acclaimed Catalan hip-hop group that’s just announced their farewell tour, aptly titled “Was it something I said?” Spoiler alert: it’s not! This band, formed in the picturesque town of El Masnou, has taken the world of protest music and turned it into something beautiful—like turning a potato into a chip but with a bit more ‘bloop’ and a lot less grease!
A Brief History of Tears of Blood
Since 2006, these boys—Neidos, Still Ill, Microbio, and their producer, the not-so-secret weapon Acid Lemon—have been shaking up the stage with their unique blend of casual hilarity and protest tunes. Seriously, talk about a contrast! Who knew you could dance while also contemplating the universe? It’s like a poetic mosh pit!
From their humble beginnings as friends raising their voices against perceived injustices, they’ve gone on to revolutionize the alternative music scene not just in Catalonia, but with their messages echoing in places as far as Mexico. That’s right—protest music has transcended borders, and suddenly everyone’s thinking, “Hmm, maybe my silent outrage could use a catchy beat!”
Hits That Hit Home
Who could forget songs like ‘I’m Going to Celebrate’ and ‘When the Sun Rises’? These are the anthems that have kept our spirits high and our heads nodding through the years. I mean, if you’ve ever felt a little lost, I’d bet good money one of their tunes has unwittingly played in your head like a soundtrack to your life!
With two platinum records and two gold records in their vaults, they’re basically the musical Harry Potter of Catalonia—minus the wand and the unflattering glasses, of course! Their albums like ‘Harmonic Disorder’ and ‘Reds and Separatists’ have shattered expectations and made us question if we, too, could make a career out of expressing our grievances in rhythmic ways. No? Just me? Fine!
The Grand Goodbye
Now, onto the big news: in 2025, we’ll get to say goodbye to this beloved group with a mini-tour comprising three *unrepeatable* performances across Spain. Let me tell you, the phrase “unrepeatable” has never sounded so dramatic—like a wedding where the bride drops the cake but also shouts at the DJ for playing ‘Macarena’ one too many times.
The shows will take place in Madrid, Bilbao, and Barcelona with a discography recap that will last over two hours. That’s right; they’re going to give you a taste of their greatest hits, and I’m prepared to orchestrate an emotional rollercoaster ride filled with nostalgia, excitement, and perhaps a tear or two. Bring your tissues—it’s going to be a soggy farewell!
The Final EP
Before we let the tears flow too freely, let’s not forget the new EP—yes, yes, they’re not leaving us completely empty-handed! They’ll be blessing us with four new songs leading up to their final bow. With such releases planned on November 8 and 29, the entire album will be available on December 13. So, clear your calendars, folks; it’s time to get musical!
The renowned Catalan hip-hop ensemble Tears of Blood (LDS) is set to bid farewell to their fans with an upcoming EP featuring 4 new songs alongside a mini-tour scheduled for 2025, as they announced to EFE news agency.
LDS, a powerful voice in protest music, emerged from the coastal towns of El Masnou and Alella near Barcelona in 2006. Comprising the talented reciters Neidos, Still Ill, and Microbio, along with their innovative producer Acid Lemon, the group carved out a significant niche in the music industry, becoming an unwavering pillar of the alternative scene not just within Catalonia, but across Spain and extending even to audiences in Mexico.
Over the years, their tracks, such as ‘I’m going to celebrate’, ‘When the sun rises’, ‘The people’, and ‘Have a good trip’, have resonated deeply, transforming into anthems for countless individuals spanning various generations, amassing millions of views on digital platforms.
Throughout their career, they achieved remarkable recognition, earning two Platinum records and an additional two Gold records, thanks to critically acclaimed albums such as ‘Harmonic Disorder’, ‘Vertigo’, ‘Viridarquia’, and ‘Reds and Separatists’.
In a heartfelt gesture to commemorate their legacy, Lágrimas de Sangre is organizing a series of three exclusive farewell concerts, featuring a full band performance that will highlight their extensive discography in a truly unforgettable show lasting over 2 hours.
These farewell performances are set to take place in 2025, specifically on September 26 at WiZink Center in Madrid, followed by a show on November 8 at Cubec in Bilbao, and concluding with a grand finale on November 15 at the Sant Jordi Club in Barcelona.
As a lead-up to these special events, the group is planning to release their final EP, which will include 4 songs. The first single is scheduled to drop on November 8, with the second following on the 29th, and the complete album set to be available on December 13, according to sources close to the band.
