[2] On 9 December 1979, inspired by the British punk movement, La Polla Records did their first gig at the only pub from Salvatierra, with all the town's people at the show, in words of Evaristo: "to see what the fools of the village made".

During this time, the band performed some shows in Basque Country and the rest of Spain territories, although the group popularity was low because had yet to embrace punk on the level seen in the UK.

By 1984, La Polla Records began frequently playing large shows, also releasing their first LP Salve, to Oihuka label and produced by Marino Goñi.

La Polla Records began to stage performances on their own, but one of them ended up in an incident in which Txarly was seriously injured, forcing the band to play with just one guitar until early 1988.

Following this release, La Polla got back to record label Oihuka with Donde se habla to critical and public acclaim (1988), boosting their sales again.

The 1990s began with a new album: Ellos dicen mierda, nosotros amén ("They say shit, we say Amen") in 1990, which was played in Europe and Latin America for the first time, in Mexico as the only leg.

In 1992, published the seventh album Negro, although was roughly divided among the fans, and Hoy es el futuro ("Today is the Future") in 1993, which was better received, and toured by Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay.

A new world tour by Europe and South America, followed a new live album La Polla en tu recto, released in 1998 and the last made by GOR label.

Then, Evaristo founded Gatillazo in 2005, with Txiki, Tripi (his former band-mates)and Xabi (former RIP bass guitar) and continued performing and recording new material since.

While the latter put an accent on innovative aesthetics and manners, the Basque brand of alternative rock showed an in-your-face stage attitude and no-holds-barred lyrics, including blunt social and political views.
