They met in Barcelona and started to make gigs in small music halls. In 1996 after recording their first record, that label decided not to publish it because they thought the songs' lyrics were unsuitable.

Their producer was Esteve Coll (who is still their producer and their keyboard) and the label Horus guaranteed to publish their first two records.

The first record 'Mojinos Escozios', contained both original songs and covers from popular rock songs, with their lyrics converted to their surrealistic and caustic humour. The record sold 90.000, against any prediction made by the group. The second record 'Demasiao perro pa trabaja, demasiao carvo par rocanro'(too lazy to work, too bald for rock'n'roll, a reference to Jethro Tull's 'Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die!') became a double platinum record selling 200.000 copies.
