| BBS PARANOICOS was formed in March 1991 in Santiago de Chile by Pedro, Alex, Juan and Carlos after their own bands splitted. At the beginning it was very hard to make music and rehearse, because the band didn't have their own instruments, using for that home stereosystems and boxes, and home made electric guitars and bassguitars … In 1991 the band recorded their first demotape, "Dulces BBS Paranoicos" (Sweet Paranoid Children), never released because of the bad sound. But in 1993 they recorded their first LP, "Incierto Final" (Uncertain End), 13 songs by Alerce Records, a local record company. After this, the band was able to buy their own instruments. The band became very wellknown and got the support of a lot of people who enjoyed the music and the messages in the lyrics about human being, the relation among mankind, society and government, feelings and ideas. In this year BBS played with the Spanish band NeguGorriak. The band began to play in several cities across the country and recorded their second LP in 1995, "Fábricas Mágicas" (Magical Factories), by Toxic Records. After this, they crossed the Andes to play several gigs in Argentina. In 1997 the third LP, "Hardcore para Señoritas" (Hardcore for Ladies), was released by Deifer Records (under license of Ta Ke Sale!, BBS' small label). This cd got the band a great support from all over! The German label Schwarze 7 Tontrager released a comp 7", called Standart Situationen, with bands like Snuff, Those Who Survived the Plague, Radioactive Toys, and others. At the same time several compilations and samplers featured BBS Paranoicos-songs! In 1998 BBS played a lot of shows in Chile with bands like the Misfits (USA), Fun People, Loquero, Dos Minutos, Flema (Argentina), Brigada Flores Magón (France) and others. In 1999 BBS released a new LP "Collage", with 7 songs in studio and 13 live songs taken at the Misfits show. This album had a great acceptance by crowd and press. In this year vocalist Alex left the band for personal reasons, vocals were taken over by Carlos and Omar. In April 2000 the band recorded a new EP, "El Ensayo" (The Experiment), with Carlos and Omar singing this time. The band was working very hard on a new LP for 2000, and at the same time they were recording a few songs for compilations. At the moment the line-up is Juan (drums), Omar (guitar/vocals), Carlos (bass/vocals), Pedro (guitar) and Cedric (guitar). |
