Entrevista a Jesús Antúnez #10 l Batería de Dover y espíritu indomable

Episode Overview

In this episode of Super Sonica, the host (Celia Vex) interviews Jesús Antúnez, famed producer and former drummer of the band Dover. The discussion centers on what happens when a long creative chapter ends—how it can feel like you’re lost, then how you rebuild your life around music in a new way.

Main Arc / Plot

• Dover’s breakup (around 2015–2016) left Jesús feeling both “cheated” and relieved—emotionally drained by years of exhaustion, conflict, and the pressure of success.
• After Dover ended, he moved into producing, starting with advertising/commercial music, some electronic experiments, and then more major work. This eventually led him to set up his own studio, helping him regain freedom.
• He explains returning to live performance as a reminder that rock requires physical and mental readiness—even comparing it to being an elite athlete.

Key Highlights & Standout Moments

• The “naked on stage” rumor

  • Jesús pushes back on how exaggerated the rumor is, but admits he sometimes would go out halfway through concerts without pants.
  • A memorable story: the Civil Guard threatened to stop the show unless he got dressed. Jesús frames it as ridiculous, but it became part of the band’s “thing of the moment.”

• What he misses most

  • Not fame or spectacle—just playing itself, and the real act of performance.

• Dover’s downhill explained

  • He argues the band’s decline came from:
    • Changing too far from its core identity
    • Chasing success
    • Not giving the music enough time
  • He also emphasizes the emotional cost of having to “maintain” success.

• Guilt and the “Catholic” vibe

  • One of the deepest segments is his recurring guilt, especially when his career pulled him into a “work bubble.”
  • He shares a painful example: during his father’s heart-surgery period, Jesús was touring and essentially doesn’t remember the actual day of the surgery—even though later he worried and dedicated shows to his father.
  • He connects this guilt to upbringing and personal therapy.

• Freedom vs. success

  • He draws a hard line between:
    • Success (external, unstable, sometimes “unreal”)
    • Peace/happiness (internal)
  • He suggests money doesn’t automatically equal contentment—and can even become corrosive if it’s tied to pressure.

Jokes / Banter

• The host keeps teasing the “Studio 73” setup as if Jesús doesn’t even want guests, with playful asides about rent and “this is your house.”
• The episode includes comedic “gossip style” interruptions and mock-serious tangents, including a quick pivot from Dover history to “now let’s talk gossip.”
• Jesús and Celia trade affectionate insults. One recurring punchline is his joking complaint about being “fed up with producing”—even though his tone clearly shows he loves music and learning.

Ending Vibe

The conversation softens from heavy topics back into lighter chemistry. Mentions of Celia’s partner/supporting figures appear, they talk about the Dover community/fans, and Celia closes by honoring Jesús as both a creator and a personality—while Jesús playfully refuses to invite more work into his life.
