Melbourne band The Triangles get their song in Spanish ad, then goes to the top of the charts
A song by a Melbourne band called The Triangles has hit number one on the Spanish charts after it was used in a TV ad for the beer brand, Estrella Damm.
The band’s song “Applejack” is currently on the top of the iTunes Top 10 singles chart in Spain and the YouTube clip has had over 875,000 views.
Beautiful ad.
a mi gusta espanol senoritas!
Love the ad. And love the way they seem to have looked at the Australian rules around how not to advertise alcohol – e.g. as contributing to personal, business, social or sexual achievments – and used it as a template for what to do. 🙂
I like how its a guide on how to pick up a girl who isnt interested in you..
haha great ad, with some great shots
nice one for an aussie band !
This used to be called a ‘sell out’ isn’t it amazing how that concept almost doesn’t exist anymore. I wonder what that says about life?
Very happy for ’em. Nice story.
i want to go to spain…now!
Three minute ads = Pervy director’s scope for gratuitous bikini arse shots to the power of six.
The Spanish are clearly far more sensible drinkers; if this was an Australian ad the case of beer would have been gone at the first night’s bonfire.
Thanks to The Triangles and the fabulous music from Menorca island with love for Australia. Muchas gracias!
Love the horses doing monos, a highlight for me.
Love life the Spanish way, all I get to see here are the Hahn, VB ads. Not fair!
Love the song. Has a 70s feel to it. Never heard of the band til now though. Well, congratz and good for them!
Australia and Menorca, united by music. Fantastic! A hug to all Austalian people from the island of Menorca.
The Triangles played gigs all around Melbourne, and it took them years later, when the band members were worlds apart for them to be fully appreciated…..in Spain.
Congrats guys – the song really does add a unique ‘flavour’ to the ad…
Also if anyone does manage an Australian FMCG co, these guys use to give out Lamingtons and cakes at their Melbourne gigs, perhaps a great way to introduce the beer +lamington phenomena in la Spanola….
Brilliant song and great beer!
Latest news from Menorca (Spain) :
