ZORROS PETARDOS SALVAJES: Come Rockin´since 7 years ago. Founded in september 1997 by Heavy Petardo (guitar), Zorro Andres (Fuzz guitar) and El Gato Salvaje (drums). they decided to do instrumental rock in Argentina deeply influenced by the sixties surf, garage and also punk rock music, recreating those classics of a crude and primitive sound. At the end of that year drummer David Kenobi (now in THE TANDOORIS) joins to the band and El Gato passes to play bass guitar.
