Richie Nieto, Chalo de Trejo and Rodrigo Bermudez had grown restless playing in various commercial rock bands, and needed a creative outlet to experiment without regarding public opinion. This generated a mostly self-indulgent project based on a concept in which the audience is a witness instead of a target. So Neurotica was born.
Ever since its inception in 1991 in Costa Rica, the trio's behaviour has always been consistent in its unpredictability: it suddenly gathers, writes a song or two, plays a show and then dissapears again. And even more strangely, the band has managed to attract a loyal following who eagerly await their next show and pack venues virtually by word-of-mouth.
Given this strange metabolism, their first album, recorded in 1997 after more than a year of absolute inactivity, has taken almost 15 years to see the light of day since its first tune was written.
This album is finally available through the Apple iTunes Store.
