Heavy Psych, Hard Rock

The band was formed in Caracas in 1970 by José "Joseito" Romero (guitar), Jesús "Torito" Toro (vocals), Ender Parra (bass) and Gustavo Calles (drums). Their musical style leaned towards heavy rock.
The band achieved considerable recognition and participated in various festivals during the early 1970s, and the power of their sound garnered a large following. They released a single with the songs "Amándote esta Dios" and "Mundo". The compilation album "2001 Juvenil" (1971) included two of the band's tracks: "This natural place" and "What is the matter with you Janne," and their discography consisted of only four songs.
The group disbanded in 1971, and José Romero, along with Ender Parra, went on to form another cult band in Venezuela: Bacro. In 2012, the German label Shadoks released the limited edition LP, Tsee Mud... which included tracks from the group combined with those from two other important bands where José Romero played Bacro and LSD.
