The band started early in 1987 and their recording career kicked-off one year later when 2 songs
were included in the Argentinean punk compilation LP Invasion 88. It was such a success that their
first album could not wait much longer: Dulce Navidad was released in1989.

Nowadays A77AQUE is one of the most important bands in the punk/alternative Latin American
scene and the one with the highest average of gigs a year: 99 shows played in 1998; 110 in 1999; 108
in 2000 are some examples.
A77AQUE has also played with a lot of international artists such as Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols, The
Ramones, Die Toten Hosen, 999, The Lurkers and Motrhead among others.
All A77AQUEs albums scored at least gold. A record that few Hispanic rock bands have reached.
Their second album El cielo puede esperar was a huge success that scored triple platinum (and
placed their first LP as gold). They presented this new album with two sold-out shows at Obras
Stadium in Buenos Aires (the biggest indoor venue for rock bands in Argentina). More than 10,000
fans attended these shows that were recorded to do a live mini-album: Rabioso-La pesadilla recien
comienza.

Their third studio LP ngeles cados also scored platinum. Todo est al revs and Amn were the
following LPs. In 1997 they recorded Un da perfecto with the American producer Jim Wirt (No
Doubt, Suicidal Tendencies, etc). Also in 1997 they toured Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Peru, Mexico
and the US for the second time.
1999
Otras Canciones, an album containing A77AQUEs versions of other artists songs, was also recorded
in Santa Monica and became a platinum success. The album contains songs belonging to well-known
artists such as The Who, Rafael Alberti, The Ramones, Legiao Urbana, Roberto Carlos, Abba and
Stiff Little Fingers. The album was released all over the Latin-American countries.
In April they had another sold-out night at Obras Stadium with a crowd of 6,500 fans. That night,
special guests as the Spanish band Ska-p shared stage with A77AQUE. Shortly after they went on a
tour around Chile and it was the first time ever in their 12 year career that they set foot on Brazil and
Spain playing a total amount of 12 gigs. In October, Costa Rica and Panama were the following
countries to be visited. An amazing success in Chile, in November, was their biggest concert ever at
the Teatro Municipal in Santiago where 5,000 fans attended this historic show. In December, the
legendary Spanish band Reincidentes joined them for a few concerts in Argentina. During this year,
A77AQUE recorded two songs: Atravesando el aire: part of the soundtrack of the first Argentinean
animated movie Condor Crux; and Dame fuego for a tribute CD to the legendary Argentinean singer
Sandro.

2000
In March the band traveled to Spain once again for a new tour where they played 11 gigs. There they
recorded their following album Radio Insomnio. The album was again produced by Jim Wirt, who
flew from California to Madrid and mixed and mastered the recordings at his studio once back in the
USA. Before releasing this new album, the band made a stop in Brazil for 4 more gigs and returned
home to present their brand new album. In May they visited Spain for the third time and in July it was
time for a seventh Chilean tour. During August and September the band did their most important
Argentinean tour reaching 40 cities all over the country and finished with a new crowded night at
Obras Stadium for 5,000 fans with the Spanish band Porretas as special guests. The tour continued
to Uruguay, Paraguay (2,000 fans in Asuncion) and Spain once again for the third time in the year
where they played 9 gigs. In December the band sold-out two nights at Cemento venue in Buenos
Aires (more than 4,000 tickets sold). Reincidentes opened both shows. By then both El pobre and
Beatle promo video clips were broadcasted at Latin American TV channels.

Antihumano-2003/04
Antihumano is A77AQUEs tenth studio album. It was recorded at Fuera del Tnel and Del
Abasto studios in Buenos Aires (May - July 2003) before they went on a 3 month international tour
to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain and Mexico.
It was produced by Mariano Martnez (lead guitar and vocals) and features all the ingredients that
make A77AQUE one of the biggest rock bands in Argentina. Antihumano is an eclectic but still 100%
A77AQUEs album. It combines a wide range of music such as ska, punk, reggae, hard rock and hard
core.

The band played three sold out concerts at El Teatro in Buenos Aires. They were getting ready for
their 40 show summer tour all along the Argentinean Atlantic Coast. Antihumano was then released
in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico and US. They scored gold album in 2003 and platinum in
2004.
Western was Antihumanos first single and it could be listened to at main radio stations in Argentina.
In January there was also a video clip of this song.

A second video clip Arrancacorazones reached first positions in all rankings during several weeks in
the most important TV music networks such as MTV and Much Music and the song could be
listened to at main radio stations for more than a month.
2004 Argentinean tour presenting Antihumano was a great success.
They also went touring Paraguay, Chile, Peru, US, Canada, Mexico and Colombia.
By the end of the year, the band performed for more than 10,000 fans at Obras Sanitarias Rugby
Stadium in Buenos Aires.
2005 another Antihumano year
Antihumano reached and went beyond the platinum in Latin America. A77AQUE decided to say
goodbye to this album in Argentina for two consecutive weekends, performing 6 shows during June
at El Teatro-Colegiales (June 2nd , 3rd and 4th); and, due to sold out concerts, they added three
shows at El Teatro-Flores (June 9th, 10th, and 11th).
Each show was performed with different song lists as well as different stage designs.
BMG (Antihumanos distributor) launched to the market all previous A77AQUE albums in a more
accessible price with a format emulating vinyl albums.
Exodo-ska was another video clip from Antihumano that reached first places at rankings from all
radio stations and TV music channels.
A forth video clip from Antihumano, Setentistas was shooted.
Shows continued. Three shows in August at Obras Sanitaras Stadium were performed. Each show
was a unique concert. The band played 77 different songs in 3 days. They gathered more than 13,000
fans at these 3 concerts that were thematic shows: each day was completely different. The first day,
August 26th was the day of alternative music. Saturday 27th was the classic day. And Sunday was a
real punk show. This daily change meant different stage designs and different guest bands:
Cabezones, Pericos and She Devils.

Antihumano was also presented and distributed in Chile, Mexico by BMG label and in Latin America
and Europe by independent labels from each country.

In Florence, Italy a compilation in benefit of Mexican EZLN was released. A77AQUE cooperated
with the song Cancin intil. All songs contained in this CD were from different Italian bands, except
for A77AQUEs that was the only foreign bands song included in the CD.
On December 16th the band organized the Festival Iberoamericano ANTIGUERRA and played in it.
This festival took place at Club Ferro in Buenos Aires, 5 Latin-Americans bands and Reincidentes
from Spain were invited to play. More than 7,000 souls were present there. The ticket fee had to be a
non-perishable food item to be donated to different charity organizations.

Due to the great success that Antihumano meant, A77AQUE gave two shows at El Teatro Colegiales
and two other shows at El Teatro Flores. For each show there were different song lists and stage
designs and they decided to give special gifts to all those fans that bought tickets in advance. This gift
