La Casa Azul Biography
Spanish pop act La Casa Azul began weaving together the sugar-pop sounds of groups like ABBA, the B-52's, and the Beach Boys in the late '90s. Led by producer/songwriter Guille Milkyway, the band rose from indie pop obscurity to Spanish Top 40 with the help of niche label Elefant Records. The group's five official members include the last-name-less David, Virginia, Oscar, Clara, and Sergio. These performers are featured on the group's popular throwback music videos, set apart for their playful, retro styling. Among the band's growing fan base, it is commonly believed that La Casa Azul's music is actually created solely by Guille Milkyway, who assembled a "backup band" for aesthetic purposes. The band began performing in 1999 as a part of Elefant showcases alongside the label's other acts. The group's debut record, El Sonido Efervescente de la Casa Azul, was released in 2000. The group's public notoriety continued to swell with television appearances on programs such as Zona Disney and Música Uno. La Casa Azul's hit single and video "Como un Fan" was released in February 2005. The video won the group its largest listening audience thus far, priming Spanish audiences for the 2006 re-release of El Sonido Efervescente. The band's third original release earned a place on Spanish Top 40 charts following its 2007 release. La Revolución Sexual quickly became one of Elefant Records' most successful releases to date.Biography by allmusic.com
