+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| The band's origins are traced to 1988 where a bunch of friends from |
| different cities decided to try playing music. They began doing so in |
| the pubs of the far-flung western suburbs of Buenos Aires, a similar |
| beginning as countless other suburban rock bands. In 1991, they headed |
| to Europe to participate in an anti-racist music festival in France, |
| playing with groups from Mali, Burkina Faso, Cuba, and Spain.[1] |
| |
| Los Piojos made their commercial debut in 1992 with Chactuchac. |
| Receiving the very favorable blessing of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos |
| de Ricota, one of the great rock groups of the time in Argentina, did |
| not hurt. |
| |
| Ay Ay Ay followed in 1994, and both did reasonably well. But the band |
| could not beat back the domination by the Nuevo Rock Argentino rock |
| ("New Argentine Rock") of the first half of the 1990s, so Los Piojos did |
| not achieve a total breakthrough in spite that by the second album |
| Ciro's songwriting was beginning to flourish. The winds changed |
| dramatically for Los Piojos by 1995. New argentine Rock was falling out |
| of favor, and this opened a niche for suburban rock to exploit. Critical |
| mass was reached the following year, and Los Piojos were half of that |
| equation. |
| |
| The band's third studio album, Tercer Arco, certainly benefited from the |
| suburban rock explosion of 1996: that year alone La Renga released their |
| seminal album Despedazado por Mil Partes, Viejas Locas released their |
| debut with the hit single "Intoxicado", among other events that sent |
| suburban rock to the mainstream and ended new argentine rock's |
| dominance. But Tercer Arco was a great album on its own right, which |
| made the overall result all the more explosive given the reigning |
| musical environment. |
| |
| By the second half of the year Los Piojos were filling arenas and small |
| stadiums. And by the start of 1997, Tercer Arco had gone double-platinum |
| in a swift manner. The single "El Farolito" was at the top of rotation |
| in most radio stations, and the video for "Marad≤" (about controversial |
| football great Diego Maradona) as well as that for "Verano del 92" made |
| top 10 on MTV (probably the only time in the history of rock music where |
| a song based upon an Afro-uruguayan chant did so!). 1997's gathering |
| power which Los Piojos achieved simply confirmed that they had arrived |
| in the big leagues of argentine rock, and that suburban rock was now in |
| the driver's seat.[2] |
| |
| To many, 1998's follow up studio album Azul is the best from the group. |
| The band's assimilation of all types of eastern Argentine musical rythms |
| became clear with this release, and their eclectic nature did not cut |
| into their popularity, in fact it made them more accessible to a wider |
| Latin American taste, and so Los Piojos went on tour in Mexico and the |
| United States. Ritual saw the light in 1999 as the 5th album for the |
| band. |
| |
| The third millennium arrived and saw Los Piojos still on top of things. |
| They performed several concerts with sellout numbers alongside other |
| suburban rock flag-bearers such as Divididos, La Renga, Viejas Locas, |
| and ska-latin band Los AutΘnticos Decadentes. |
| |
| The group released Verde Paisaje del Infierno in 2000, another solid |
| effort from "The Lice" (which is what their name means in Spanish). In |
| 2003 the band came out with their 7th full-length, Mßquina de Sangre. |
| Becoming one of the best selling albums of the year, it showed that Los |
| Piojos were still current, and that their place in the history of |
| argentine and Spanish-language rock was largely assured. They would sell |
| out 70,000 seat River Plate Stadium, something only achieved locally by |
| bands such as Soda Stereo, and the most important foreign musical acts. |
