Los Bunkers

Los Bunkers (Spanish for The Bunkers) is an alternative rock band from Concepción, Chile, formed in 1999 by brothers Álvaro and Gonzalo López, Mauricio Basualto, and brothers Francisco and Mauricio Durán.

The use of the letter B and K was also considered to be desirable by the band as it aligned themselves with some of their biggest music idols such as The Beatles and The Kinks.

Finally the word Bunkers is also symbolic of the refuge that the band and music had become against all that surrounded them.

Between these two related creative influences, the band creates music associated with classic rock but with a new freshness, plus an exceptional flexibility that has allowed them to maintain a healthy pace of new albums.

Los Bunkers is one of the three Chilean groups to appear at the Festival Lollapalooza Chicago 2011.
