about
Estados Alterados was formed in 1986 by a group of young students in Medellin, Colombia: Elvis (Fernando Sierra, vocals), Tato (Gabriel Lopera, keyboards & programming), and Ricky (Ricardo Restrepo, drums & vocals), who stepped in for his friend Mana (Carlos Uribe) after he passed away in a car accident.

Their latest effort, “Romances Cientificos” (Scientific Romances), was released in 2010 after an absence of more than ten years from the studio. The cutting edge sound of this twelve-track album produced by UK native Phil Vinall (Placebo, Radiohead, Zoé, Elastica) confirms Estados Alterados’ return with its uncompromising innovation intact. In March of this same year, the band launched its Latin American tour with Coldplay in Bogotá, followed by festival appearances in Mexico City (Vive Latino), Medellín (Altavoz), and Bogotá (Rock al Parque 2010). Estados Alterados became a pioneer of the modern Colombian Rock scene, paving the road for others to follow. Juanes, then singer/guitarist for Ekhymosis, toured with the band as a guest member.
