Everything started back in 2004 when two good school friends, Niki and Gallego, decided to start their own pop punk band. In the beginning it was hard finding other band members interested in the same type of music, but eventually two more members were found, joined, and completed their group: Cristian and Alejandro. The band has quickly gained recognition in and out of the country and has played in the most prestigious venues of Spain and Andorra (Razzmatazz, Mephisto, Apolo, Clap, Mini Olimpics 2005, Dijousderock…). Anonymous participated in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki with their own composition Salvem el mon, in Catalan and English. They placed 12th in the semi final amongst 28 countries, which is regarded as an achievement considering the nature of the contest. Reactions to the band’s performance were extremely positive right after the contest both from international media and fans. Anonymous came second in GBOB Spain (Battle of the Bands), and is presently in the Emergenza music festival semi-finals where they came first in their last round. The band continually gets lots of coverage across Europe on radio stations, television programmes, and in the press, as well as the internet. Visit their website www.myspace.com/anonymouspunkrock where you can listen to their music and read more about them, their fan clubs, see their video clip and merchandise (T-shirts, badges...).
