are musicians and they have met from another bands”.
About their name, Ton Risco (Drums) said: “We needed a name before our first concert and
Cornelius seemed a casual name as b-movie in a Harlem 70´s context. Then we had tto inclues
1960 becouse we had a legal licence problem, in fact there is a japaneese Dj who calls like that”.

contemporanean pop sounds. A band interested in a

The question, which everybody was asking, was
made by Xose Otero from Ecca radio. What kind of
music will they going to play at the final rock band
battle in Madrid. As you know, Cornelius are a wild
band who plays the most classic rock mixed whith
the funniest funky. The concise and clear answer
could be: they are musicians who don´t like to play
an only kind of music wihch is demanded by the
recording industry. http://www.musgio.com/2007/10/25/disco-
