Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
The band formed in 1998 with the sole intention of playing cover versions of songs recorded by 1980s Madrid band Leño (Log). Rubén (guitars and vocals) had previously played with Madrid band Buenas Noches Rose (Good Night Rose) and Leiva (bass and vocals) had formed his own group called Malahierba (Weed). The drummer Ignacio ‘Tuli’ Villamor completed the trio. During their first gigs in small Madrid venues they became the backing band for the music critic and former Desperados singer Fernando Martín, brother of respected guitarist Guille Martín. During the time that they were playing on the nightclub circuit in Madrid they started to develop their own songs, which were heavily influenced by music from the 1970s such as Marc Bolan and the Rolling Stones as well as native Spanish bands such as Burning and Tequila. The group assimilated all these influences into a style that was clearly pop, but which made full use of guitar riffs.
A talent scout for RCA Records saw the band live and recognized the commercial potential of their image although at that time they were still a little rough around the edges. The band signed for the multinational and released their first album, which was called "Pereza" in 2001. The band’s youth and inexperience are evident on the album but it was sufficiently well received to lead to a tour and in addition it improved the band's self belief. The band supported a number of established groups such as Porretas (Dope Heads), Los Enemigos (The Enemies) and Siniestro Total (Total Write-off). They also made valuable contributions to a number of compilation albums. They recorded their own reworking of the theme tune for the 1980s children’s television programme "La Bruja Avería" (The Dangerous Witch) on the album "Patitos Feos” (Ugly Ducklings) (2002) which raised money for FAPMI (Federación de Asociaciones para la Prevención del Maltrato Infantil) (Federation of Associations for the Prevention of Child Abuse). On Calaveras y Diablitos presenta Rock en Ñ (Skulls and Little Devils present Rock in Spain), released in 2004, they contributed the previously unreleased "En donde estés" (Wherever Your Are). On the Hombres G tribute album released in 2003 they contributed "Voy a pasármelo bien" (I’m Going to Have A Good Time”, which ended up being used as the title of the album.
