RRRRRRR was created by Lady Ego in 1987. Beforebeginning RRRRRRR, Lady Ego had previously given his voice to the(punk/darkcore) band Insurrección (1986-1987), but after theband went their separate ways, Lady Ego began to experiment and develop his ideas incollaboration with others, until the first line-up of the band was defined, around 1987.After a year of rehearsal, RRRRRRR played their first gig at the theatre ElTinglado, in Montevideo, Uruguay.
After this gig, which was witnessed by 160 people, the press defined RRRRRRR as: "AGothic Rock Band". Things developed further in May of 1990, when they recorded theirfirst and second demo tapes: Núbeses Peleando and Frío. Theycontinued to record music and as the years passed by, RRRRRRR experimented andinstituted several changes to their repertoire by investigating new sounds and trying out differentinstruments in their music, such as: keyboards, rhythm machines, and two to three guitars in their liveperformances. Also, one thing that can be said of RRRRRRR is that they have alwaysedited and recorded independently. For over twenty years, RRRRRRRhas been playing Montevideo's underground circuit. In their long history, the band hashad the opportunity to travel and perform in mythical places as Juntacadáveres,La Cueva and Amarillo, as well as touring in Buenos Aires,Argentina twice, in 2001 and 2004 (which has beenthe only RRRRRRR shows outside Uruguay, thus far). Their currentmusical development has led them to expand to include: a percussive base, which points to primitive andminimalist rhythms, a solid, constant bass line, and guitars and synths which help create an atmospherewhere one can hear the vocalist lyrically interceding, to give birth to moments of brilliant darkness. Today,the current members of RRRRRRR are: Lady Ego (vocals, guitar andprogramming), Velvet Hierophant (guitar), Angel Slade (bass),Ambarette (drums) y Alejo (keyboards); and despite several memberchanges, it should be noted that RRRRRRR is the only "gothic" band from that era inUruguay that is still on the road, faithful to its style today:
"The First, The Last, The Eternal".
