Argentinean rock band from Mataderos formed in 1988. Pilars of the so called movement "Rock Barrial", which mix traditional "leftist" ideology, demagogics, 70s hard rock and mentions to football and the hoods. Originated in Mataderos, a humble quartier of Buenos Aires, they started playing small gigs in the neighbourhood but popularity brought by hits such as: "La Balada del Diablo y la Muerte", "La Razón que te Demora", "El Revelde" and put them in the headlines which ended up by playing in stadiums such as River Plate's - sanctuary for big foreign bands such as The Rolling Stones, U2, Phil Collins and Paul McCartney. The band flows by the rithm of it's drummer Tanque, it's crazy basist Tete and the lyric Chizzo on the lead vocals and guitar. Album "A Donde me Lleva la Vida" marked a big breakthrough in the band.
