about
Psicotropia was born in Madrid in the summer of 1999, with the purpose of working on a experimental and avant-garde musical trend, as an alternative to the current stagnation of ideas and values in the world of rock. They began covering King Crimson and composing their own first songs. On July 7th 2000, Psicotropia presented their one-year work in a show at Siroco in Madrid, with a resounding success among critics and audience. They kept on with their work during the next year, doing several shows in prestigious festivals and venues of Madrid. It was then when Nacho Cuevas (vocals, flute and harmonica) and Iván Caramés (cello) joined the band with regular collaborations. In the period between 2002-2003, they recorded their self-produced first album, presenting it at Ritmo & Compás on January 31th 2003, in the First Party of Spanish Progressive Rock. The album, named after the band, is distributed internationally by Luna Negra and Musea Records labels in USA, South America, Europe and Japan. During the year 2004, Psicotropia was invited to perform at the VIII edition of the the rock festival BajaProg, in the city of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, sharing the stage with legendary bands and rock musicians. They also recorded the background music (composed by Santi Ibarretxe) for the film Muertos Comunes, directed by Norberto Ramos del Val, released in movie theatres around Spain on May 2004. Two songs of the first Psicotropia album were also included in the film’s soundtr
