Artist History Band formed middles of 1994, however it was not until 1998 that it would keep Walter Cobos (guitar), Claudia Maurtua (vocals, guitar), Jorge Roeder (bass), Dino Gervasoni (percusion) and Pepe Pinedo (drums) as official members being Walter, Claudia and Pepe the founding members. NVNV was basically a garage band playing alternative music with no defined style. It was not until second half of 1998 thata NVNV decides to dedicate more time to music and to work seriously as a band part of the local underground scene; the band defined a music style which the 5 members shared based on each of their musical influences. It is then that the band acquires its own personality playing a heavy melodic rock which the media has named "new metal" with clear musical influences such as Korn, Deftones & A Perfect Circle, etc. NVNV achieved 5th place in Miraflores Rock Contest among 250 bands and played at various rock festivals sharing stage with important local bands. In 1999 NVNV releases its first album selftitled "Ni Voz Ni Voto" containing songs like "Cambios", "Ni Voz Ni Voto" and "Insensible" which were immediately asimilated by the audience and reached first places in local rankings. In November 2001 NVNV releases its 2nd album called "No Antisocial" which determines an important evolution musically and in terms of professionalism since pre and post production of this album was definitely improved taking the experience of having produced a first album. Presentation concert of "No Antisocial" sold out tickets and the audience was really identified with the band's 2nd album. Recently, in January 2003 the band releases an acoustic live album recorded at their presentation in Univ. Catolica's Cultural Center on Oct 2002. This album contains an interactive track including pictures of the acoustic presentation, demonstrating NVNV's versatility in terms of sound and performance.
