This Guayaquil band is made up of Gio Negrette (vocals), Nicolás Chang (guitars), Cheche Narváez (bass), Juan Pablo Manquian (saxophone) and Jorge Cabezas (drums), who are renowned musicians on the local independent scene, later of having integrated other groups, such as Pasajero, Vírgenes Violadoras and Ultratumba.
