Quiero Club

After releasing the singles "Oportunidad de Oro" and "Millones" Quiero Club were one of the most representative and innovative bands within the Latin American independent music movement.

Priscila Gonzalez, Luis Fara & Boscop Benavente came from different backgrounds before they joined forces with Marcela Viejo and Gustavo "Cátsup" Hernández, founder of the Monterrey-based music/art collective later turned record label "Happy-fi".

They recorded "No Coke" and "Pecan Pie" at Luigi Marchetti's (bassist of Monterrey's rock band Niña, also part of the Happy Fi family) home studio in Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, during the summer of 2004 for a Happy Fi compilation, the first track leaked unto Mexico City's recently created public radio station Reactor and quickly became one of the most requested tunes and, consequently, one of the station's early hits.

When they found out, Quiero Club went into a professional studio with Armando and Lapas to re arrange the song, new drums, bass, guitar, keyboards tracks were recorded as well as additional programming.

"Minutos de Aire" became Reactor 105.7's number one song in 2009, which proved to be a good year for the band, after they opened for one of Depeche Mode's two dates in Mexico City's Foro Sol.

A string of successful singles (Música, Las Propiedades del Cobre and Que Hacer En Caso De Oir Voces, later compiled on the EP "Dias Perfectos") kept the band's momentum during 2010 and 2011.

Starting 2016, Quiero Club began production of "Oportunidad de Oro" with the addition of Monterrey-based producers Toy Selectah (Control Machete) and Heriberto Lopez.

A strain of (unknown to the public) events that delayed the release of the album ended with long time collaborator Marcela Viejo leaving the band to pursue a solo career in April 2017.

In June 2018, the much awaited album "Oportunidad de Oro" was released achieving mixed results: for one, the critics praised the band for their continued efforts to experiment and further their work but the record failed to appeal to the younger generation and their long time fan base.
