They are one of the most successful representatives of the "Rock Català" movement in the 2000s. Earlier in their career, they were characterized by their acoustics style -- just using guitars and bass, no percussion -- until 2002 when they added drums.

In summer 1993, Oriol Farré, Juanjo Muñoz, Natxo Tarrés and Roger Farré from Manresa, joined together to start a new band. They won an award with their first record "Gossos" (1994). After a few tours in Catalonia they edited their 2nd record "En privat" in 1996. Followed by "Mandala" (1997) and "Directament" (1998, recorded in the "Teatre Conservatori" of Manresa) with the collaboration of other consolidated members of the Catalan Rock like Cris Juanico, Gerard Quintana and Pemi Fortuny. In 2000 they recorded "De viaje", their only album in Castillian so far, followed by "Cares" (2001).

In 2002 they move away from their acoustical style to start using electric guitars and drums. Their latest albums recorded are "El Jardí del Temps" (2003), "8" (2005) and Oxygen (2007).

Adéu amic
Gossos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

És de dia encara plou,
He cregut ser lluny d'aquí,
Les petjades de la por
No ho van aconseguir.

Adéu amic, oh vine amic,
Me'n vaig a fer un viatge molt llarg.
Adéu amic, oh vine amic,

Encara em pots atrapar.

Faig camí a les muralles
Del pensament humà.
Porto a sobre el que em fa falta
Per començar a parlar.

Recordo de vegades,
Un somni molt estrany.

No m'interessen les rondalles,
On només tu hi surts guanyant.
En diuen esperança
A un joc molt asfixiant.

Recordo de vegades
Un estat artificial,
On la gent acomodada,
Ens fan de governants.

Adéu amic, oh vine amic,
Me'n vaig a fer un viatge molt llarg.

Adéu amic, oh vine amic,
Encara em pots atrapar.
