Safeway Goya was the stage name for Fred de Ráfols while lead singer of The Nobodys, an American new wave band from Los Angeles, California (not to be confused with the punk band of the same name from Colorado Springs, Colorado) best known for the 1984 album No Guarantees and its eponymous single.
Goya and his brother, guitarist and keyboardist Alex Blanc, originally started their musical careers in Davis, California, in the early 1970s under the group name Squid.
Anza Records produced a 45-RPM single in 1975 "Rain or Shine" / "Kick Up A Storm" that was engineered by Anthony Della Rosa.
The album featured Timex Burke on drums, Eric Garcia on bass and Ken Ypparila on keyboards.
It was used in Michael Apted's 1984 movie Firstborn, starring Peter Weller and Teri Garr,[3] and in episode 27, "Buddies", of the television series Miami Vice in 1985.
