[1] Since March 2023, the band's lineup has consisted of del Hierro, Ramiro, Tete Novoa (vocals), and Arnau Martí (drums).

[2] Saratoga was formed in Madrid in 1992 by Ñu bassist Niko Del Hierro and guitarist Jero Ramiro.

[3] They signed a contract with the Madrid record company Avispa in December 1994 and a year later released their debut, self-titled album.

[3][4] With the same lineup, they released a covers album a year later, titled Tributo, which constituted a tribute to the most important Spanish hard rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s.

[6] In 1998, after the departure of Arellano and Boente, Saratoga hired drummer Dani Pérez and vocalist Leo Jiménez, who brought a fresh style to the band's sound.

The album proved to be seminal in the band's career, bringing greater international recognition, with Latin America as a new market.

They launched a tour to promote it on 20 March, with the opportunity to open for folk metal band Mägo de Oz at Las Ventas, Madrid, in front of 10,000 spectators.

The drummer, who was at the time playing for three bands concurrently, including Stravaganzza and Skizoo, had decided to put his energy into his other two projects.

Among the reasons cited, Jiménez mentioned that both he and Ramiro wanted to take a break from Saratoga's busy schedule, as well as in his case, spending more time with his other band, Stravaganzza.

On 2 November 2006, Saratoga announced that Jiménez and Ramiro were departing the band, with del Hierro and Andy C remaining.

With tour dates still pending, on 6 August 2013 the band published a statement from del Hierro, announcing an indefinite cessation of musical activities, citing personal fatigue after twenty-one years of existence.

[18] On 9 October 2020, they announced Dani Pérez's departure and his replacement, Jorge "El Estepario Siberiano" Garrido.
