GAS rock band (image from GAS website)[/caption]GAS, a rock band based in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona province), has just released their first EP, "Chinese Works" that includes seven original songs sung in Mandarin Chinese. The band members are Salvador Mas (guitar and vocals), Pepe Zamora (bass), Jordi Riba (guitar and lead vocals), Israel Vela (keyboards) and Jaime López (drums) and their unique project started when Jordi Riba, a Chinese teacher, translated one of his songs into Mandarin and the rest of the band were amazed with the result. This made them consider the possibility of recording more songs in Chinese and the result is the release of this surprising album, Chinese Works. Their first performance for a Chinese audience happened in Barcelona on February 2013, during the celebrations of the Chinese New Year, and they were the only non-Chinese artists to perform. The song that the band is currently promoting is "Everlasting freshman" (永远的初学者).
