§- Biography -§
- Being in a mediocre country where rock never was taken in a
serious way, where bands with look and make up were always
repudiated and they always did it for personal pleasure since the
end of the 80's. in the beggining of a new milenium would born
the only band with look and glamour in a time where nobody
respond to the name "glam" anymore, it arises when an
old glam who was already known in the under since 1996 that was
initiated by 80's california glam, known as "Karen fox",
and the only true fan and collector of japanese glam, named
visual kei in that country, met via e-mail in a forum of this
style, Karen Fox discovered Visual kei in the first years of the
new milenium but without knowing much of it, and thanks to this
younger fan that knew all about it and had all kind of material
he started to know more and more about it, since the begining
Karen Fox tells to the future Sada to make a Glam band in a
japanese style, in a country where the only few ideas of making a
band like this only remain in that, ideas, and bands without look
that only play covers.
- Sada used to play guitar since 2000 alone in his home, and
Karen Fox had already been in a glam band called "Afrodita"
in the year 1996 and done solo songs and videoclips in year 1999,
but now both of them were looking for something in common, to do
something based on visual kei or glam from Japan, but not singing
in japanese or doing covers, but doing their own songs and
singing lyrics in spanish, that's when Karen Fox met to the
person that would be Sada, and he thought he was very androginous
looking and from that moment Sada started to build his look to
convert in the visual or glam that he is now, so in june 2004
Romantica was formed, wich doesn't defines it self as visual kei,
because of the glam past of Karen Fox and the visual present of
Sada they decided to name it "Glam Visual"
- Because they couldn't find anyone that understood the style as
it is... it would be only Karen Fox and Sada who recorded their
first song called "Yaoi", and so Romantica would have
its first website wich was very visited and criticized for those
that only are usefull for that.. criticize.
- Passed time and with more production behind, they made another
look, more colourful, and they record their second song called
"Lady Oscar", with lyrics based on the anime serie by
the same name".
- Some months later, they make two videclips of the songs
previously recorded, Yaoi and Lady Oscar, including in Lady oscar
a new member, Dai, but shortly after Dai leaves the band because
of various differences.
- They record the song "Paris", with help on lyrics of
Chary charly (ex-Afrodita, ex-Venus desnuda), and then they film
the videoclip of this song.
- They make a cd with the 3 songs previously recorded, Yaoi, Lady
Oscar and Paris, adding a live cover of the song "Presente"
by the argentinian rock band Vox Dei, plus a minimalist song made
by Karen Fox, named "depresion". And they make another
cd including the 3 videoclips filmed. Both cd's can be found in
the same box under the name of "Glammagedon", the first
Romantica's cd. The design of the cover was made by our friend
Ciel.
-Glammagedon, first Romantica'cd. 2005-
- In the first month of 2006 they record the song "Cara de
Angel", wich is a new version of a ten years old song of
Karen Fox's first band, Afrodita, originally composed by Chary
Charly and Karen Fox.
- After a short time, they put on the website the song "X-novia",
which was recorded from some time before "Cara de Angel".
- They receive an e-mail from a japanese producer of visual kei
indie events, inviting them to participate in one of his events,
but because of no money on both sides for the trip, the producer
offer himself to promote Romantica in Japan.
- In july 2006 They are invited to the argentinian radio show
called "Temporada de koalas" on F.M. la tribu, where
three of their songs are played, and they have a nice interview.
- They make a videoclip of the song X-Novia, and they expose it
on line on november.
- In January 2007 they make a video for Cara de Angel, with this,
they finally complete the idea of having a videoclip for all of
their songs.
-Sada and Karen Fox now with their own style, though most of the
people don't like it! Without following money, fame, social
succes and all things that "rock" bands in Argentina
follows. Romantica keeps alive and faithful to their ideals, in
their lyrics and their attitude, and you like it or not is doing
glam, basing its proposal in true rock revel, the game of
ambiguous sexualities, always in the way of romanticist and
stories that someone lived, away from promiscuity, there's a
reason why it's called ROMANTICA!!!
