Artist History Everything started this year when Alejandro Aldea, a schoolboy that lived all his life sorrounded by music, started to create some tunes of his own in his guitar. Alejandro was clearly a fan of the British band Oasis. One day he invited one of his bests friends Cristobal Middleton (the one who writes the history), me who was another Oasis fan, to hear what Alejandro said it was the new single of Oasis. I really liked the tunes, but the tunes were from Alejandro's own creation. I was astonished. We decided to create a band due to our facility to create good songs with all the lyrics. We opened to different type of music, specially grunge and learned other kind of music making us fans of grunge. The next week our first complete song was written "Wrong". Then me and Alejandro realized we needed another guitar a bass and the drums to support our songs. We localiced Benjamin Rodriguez, a very talented guitarrist, which played Santana, Metallica, and some progressive rock. He had incredeble skills, but he had no band. He had heard a lot of Silverchair's songs, and he was extremely fasinated with the grunge style. without any doubt at all, he said yes when we ask him to join us at school. We wer now three. But we still needed a bass guy. It was very difficult for us to find one because in our school there were many people who played the bass, but none of them were similar to us in our way of living. Benjamin finally brought and showed us one of our schoolmates that recently started to play the bass, his name was Nicolas Diaz , me and Alejandro know him since basic school. Also a very good point in favor of our new bass guy was that he was a grunge fanatic, specially Nirvana, Silverchair and Alice in Chains. Benjamin and Nicolas, which had a group, finally join to our band completely, and left the other group and focused in our new band without name yet. After 2 months of playing together, we decided to call our band Scalaikabox, which had, has and will always have an special meaning to all of us. Our good songs that with the bass and the first guitar sound incredibly powerfull and breath taking. But there was still something missing and it was very clear. We needed a drummer.So we localiced an excelent drummer that played very well the drums. But after one session with him, he left us and in some way, we would left him after in the future. He was and excelent drummer, he liked grunge a lot, but he wasn't like us. Thinking we would have to leave all this behind, one day Nicolas came with the notice of a drummer that had no band and the recomendations were good. So after all our search, we contacted him and ask him to join us. Francisco after some doubts, gave us a chance to know him , and after one session, we became excelent friends and he accepted our offer. Then, we were five, and Scalaikabox, wasn't a dream anymore, it was a reality. On the second session, we already had ready, Plush (Stone Temple Pilots), Learn To Fly (Foo Fighters), Alive (Pearl Jam), and other great tunes, but the one that we started to arranged for our future, was our own song... Wrong. Some of Nirvana and alternative music was added as a complement to the primary version of Wrong. After that, we knew that song we would be of very high quality. Wrong and Unchangeable Destiny, would be aviable soon on this page. That are our hits.Cristobal Middleton (vocals)
