In the summer of 2005, Igor A. and Asier M. started a band just for fun, for the pleasure of deveping a bunch bright ideas that had been wandering their minds for long. By the spring of 2006 has a structure, the addition of Adrián de los O.'s synthesizers lights their way towards more adventurous sonic goals. After recording their first EP with Javier Letamendia (well respected producer in the local indie scene and drummer in bands We Are Standard and El Inquilino Comunista) in November 2007, they start playing gigs around the Basque Country. On the 4th one, they hit a packed Joy Eslava in Madrid and win the most important independent music contest in Spain, Proyecto Demo, organized by F.I.B. and Radio 3. Locally, they also get a mention in prestigious local contest XIX Villa de Bilbao, and are elected for European exchanges. They also win Gaztealdia, San Adrián and Lemon Pop band pageants, and are chosen by Mondosonoro as 2nd best Demoscopic band of the year. On the night they open for Kaiser Chiefs in Bilbao, they start a summer tour that will take them to some of the best Spanish venues, clubs and festivals F.I.B 2007(with rhythm master A. Gurru joining in on drums), Club Fever, Stereo, Ebrovision Festival, Ochoymedio Club, Let's Festival, B.A.M. (Barcelona Acció Musical), Bilboloop, S. AgustÃn (Ibiza), Le Nörd Fest, Cream Pop...
