About Me

ATTICA nacio alrededor de septiembre-octubre del 2005 en Cali, Colombia. Despues de repetitivos cambios de integrantes, la formacion inicial se conformó por Luis Zuluaga y Alejandro Pustowka en las guitarras, Astrid Schmidt en la voz, Martin Figueroa en el bajo, Andres Escobar en los teclados y Camilo Aristizabal en la bateria. Con esta formacion la banda se presento en un evento realizado en el ensayadero Sterling, y en el Colombo Americano, en el concurso Rock & Pop 2006, lo cual permitio la entrada de la banda en la escena local.
Por esas fechas, la banda inscribe dos temas en un concurso realizado por la emisora Univalle Stereo y el estudio Acustica Digital, siendo galardonados con la grabacion en este mismo estudio de estos temas, junto con Wale of Souls y Antares. La banda entra a estudio con un cambio en la formacion, dandole la bienvenida al bajista Luis Miguel Quinchia y al baterista Juan David Cardona. Los dos temas seleccionados son Urzula y Dorian Gray.
Por motivos de viaje, Luis Miguel Quinchia se retira temporalmente de la banda, dando entrada a Jean Paul Giraldo, bajista de Wale of Souls, banda amiga. Asimismo, Attica recibe la colaboración de Andres Lopez, teclista de Desdenia y Eternal Fear, ya que Andres Escobar decide abandonar la banda por motivos de estudio.
Con esta formación, Attica toma parte de las bandas escogidas para el Cali Underground 2007, en donde logra posicionarse en la escena caleña. La banda sigue trabajando en la composicion de nuevos temas, buscando explorar nuevas formas musicales.

ATTICA was born around september - october 2005 in Cali, Colombia. After some changes, the initial formation included Luis Zuluaga and Alejandro Pustowka on the guitars, Astrid Schmidt on the vocals, Martin Figueroa on the bass, Andres Escobar on the keyboards, and Camilo Aristizabal on the drums. With this formation the band took part of an event promoted by the rehearsing rooms Sterling, and also in the Colombo Americano, in the Rock & Pop 2006 contest. That allowed the entrance of the band in the local scene.
Around this time, the band also participated with two themes in a contest promoted by Univalle Stereo, and the Acustica Digital Studio, winning along fellow bands Wale of Souls and Antares the opportunity to record both songs. Attica hits the studio with a change within its formation, welcoming Luis Miguel Quinchia on the bass and Juan David Cardona on the drums. The songs that were chosen were Urzula and Dorian Gray.
Because of a trip, Luis Miguel Quinchia temporarily leaves the band, and Jean Paul Giraldo, bassist of Wale of Souls, takes his place. At the same time, Andres Escobar leaves the band for academic reasons, and Andres Lopez, keyboardist to Desdenia and Eternal Fear, comes to replace him.
With this new formation, Attica is part of the bands chosen to play at the Cali Underground 2007 festival, managing to position itself in the rock and metal scene of the city. The band continues working on the creation of new songs, wanting to explote and explote new musical genres.
