In their final years at school they met José Miguel Amigo, who introduced them to Roberto Arancibia, and together the four decided to form a band and relocate to Santiago in 1997.

[1] The band was originally a quartet, but José Miguel Amigo left the group in 1998 to go back to Concepción and later moved abroad to Germany.

After three years of touring, De Saloon signed with Feria Music,[3] and returned to the studio to record their fourth album, Delicada Violencia.

Recorded and mixed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Delicada Violencia was produced by the well-known musician-producers Tweety González and Richard Coleman.

They also joined Banda Conmoción, Camila Moreno and Chancho en Piedra, among others, to perform at the Día de la Musica[7] (Music Day 2009), a massive event held on 22 November 2009 in Parque O'Higgins, Santiago.
