Nancys Rubias is the pet pastime of Mario Vaquerizo, better known as Alaska's husband and a renowned artist manager. Vaquerizo's visibility was at a peak in 2011 due to the reality show Alaska y Mario (think a Spanish version of The Osbournes), so it must have seemed as good as a time as any for a new
Nancys Rubias album. As usual, many lyrics were written by
Fangoria's Nacho Canut, with the outlandish cover art done by Juan Gatti, and the music gleefully embraces both
the Ramones and
Raffaella Carrà under a roof of electro-pop and glam. Hedonistic, fun, androgynous, satirical, and self-parodical,
Ahora o Nunca celebrates Vaquerizo's flamboyant personality but, in true Warholian fashion, is also purposefully disposable. ~ Mariano Prunes
