Extended Network Banner made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own!...hey fellow 'net surfers...since some of my fellow 'Rican bands are already spreading the flavor around...i can only tell you, if you haven't been to our beloved island or haven't hear any band hailing from PR yet...take a seat, fasten your seat belts and let the ride begin...because we have a lot of very talented musicians around and some of them are already making the difference in other continents...but that was just a little introduction of my island and the bands we have here...its up to all of you to take some time and check them out...now, my current little project is only over 2 years old...it started as a rock covers band in high school back in 1985 - 1988...then in late 2002 i reunited with my old guitar player and kept practicing...then in late 2004 we started jamming covers again but as faith would have it, my musicians at the time were passing through different stages in their lives and quit the band leaving me all by myself...then in 2005 i met my current bass player and started jamming with different musicians in order to find the right axe slinger for us...after a couple of months, we found him...then we started composing and arranging our own music...we started playing the West area circuit of Puerto Rico and about a year later we added another guitar player to the mix...we are ViejäGuardiä...i took the name from the phrase 'old school' kind of music...in our case, the influence of classic rock music bands from the '60s '70s and '80s or music from the old school...and sometimes ppl taught it meant an old cop, being that 'Guardia' in spanish means cop...either way is fine with me, only that i use the dots above the letter 'a' to make it sort of different...i even made a nice drawing of that too, lol...you can check our main website and please leave comments and opinions...its very important to me...www.ViejäGuardiä.orgthe mp3's and videos were recorded using my camcorder and then using CoolEdit to transfer them to audio...meaning, its not an studio recording in no sense...no mix, no eq's...no nothing...just the music...thanx for visiting...read you all later...

Influences: Our influences marked an era, the era of the glitter, the glamour, the hairspray, the make-up, the leather, the spikes, the extravaganza, the over-the-top antics, the fun, the sex, the alcohol, the excesses, the shock,These are the bands I grew up listening to and I keep listening to most of them today, and Im still as loyal to them as I was back in the daySome of them might have changed their styles and some of them have sold out to mainstream...they failed their fans and themselves.
