Artist History Formed in November 1997. We started as a Smashing Pumpkins cover band, but soon decided to follow our own path. A lot of people played in Aloof, but only Carlos remains. Ale(bass-vocals from Abisal), and Carlos(guitar-vocals) formed the band in 1997, then Max(guitar-vocals from Warcrime), entered the band to wrote a couple of songs and recorded almost 10 demos. Ale left right after South was recorded (our first song), she was replaced by Max's girlfriend, Isa(bass). Then nearly 1999 Marco(drums from Warcrime), finally joined the band after recording South in 1998. In late 1999 Max left the band, then Isa and Marco did the same. (There is another bunch of people who played with us once or maybe a couple of times, thanks to you all.) Carlos wrote a lot of songs and recorded a couple by himself, untill he knew Erika. They are still toghether writing and recording songs and they are more than band mates... ; ) Later Carlos met Andres(drums) who was an old friend from school.

Group Members Erika (bass+vocals), Carlos (guitars+vocals+pedals+drum machine), Andrés (Drums)
