Ultima Caida

About Me


-2003-
The band started out in February, somewhere in bell gardens with the name of "Drunk Skunks". Drunk Skunks began as a hornless ska-punk band with only four members Danny barajas=Drums Angel salgado=Guitar Alan pineda=Bass and Miguel martinez=Guitar. A month later miguel Valtiera became the vocals of the band. Ds played their first show sometime in may in Bell Gardens. A couple of month after there first show Drunk skunks lost there drummer and one of their guitarist due to some overly extended vacations. Danny L soon took over on drums. The year had not been very good for the band they had lost a drummer and guitarist and it wasnt over In december Miguel valtiera left the band for Undisclosed reasons. By the end of 2003 Ds was just another band crowding up the La Ska scene.

After losing a vocalist Angel decided to step up and do vocals. By this time Ds wanted to make some changes to there music. On February found there first horn player (Tony). Ds also decided to lose most of the punk songs they had. Through out this year DS had a lot of line up changes in the horn section. Many didn't stay or never came back some did but managed to quit again. By June DS was ready to record. They recorded there first demo some time around June. Every thing seemed to be going fine but some problems led to other bigger ones. DS' Last show was October 31. The band swore it was over but it really wasn't.
-2005-
After a couple months everyone settled out there differences. The name was changed to Ultima Caida. The band didn't feel that Drunk Skunks suited them anymore. The name was chosen and everybody agreed on it. the bands Performance activity decreased through out this year because of work, transportation, other bands And lazy band members. Although more venue shows were played the band spent more time practicing and working on new material. Some think that the style has changed for the band but they feel more satisfied with what they made.
-2006-
After a slow year the band decided that it was time to record again. Ultima Caida is planing to record there 8 Track EP. The EP Contain both there old and there new material but none of the three demo tracks will be recorded again. With most of the performance issues out of the way the band is committed to start playing shows like they used. Even with the Mayor Set back of Losing a Drummer Ultima Caida has Regained there motivation and will hit the Studio in Early september !
-2007-
After Several attempts at rerecording there EP. Ultima Decided to call it Quits Not just in the Studio but as a band. Due To Creative Differences and lack of interest in the members Apathy began to grow more and more. The spark that Once Drove the band became the Reason for arguments and disapproval. Side projects were started and members found them selfs less involved with the band every week. The Future for the band is still unknown.
