Plástico

Influential Spanish pop band from the late 70s. Founded by Eduardo Benavente (vocals), Jorge (Toti) Arbolés (drums, both from "Prisma", progresive rock band where [a619384] was lead guitarist), Rafa Gutiérrez (guitar), Emilio Estrecha (bass) and Luis Carlos Esteban (keyboards, from Trastos). Soon Eduardo would leave the band to become [a98927] drummer, being replaced by Manuel Malou Sánchez (brother of Jorge Sánchez, Zombies drummer), who had got a big hit with rumba duo Los Golfos and his song “Qué pasa contigo tío”. Thanks to his contacts on RCA they got a contract and released their only single "Nieva" (1980), with two pop songs that wouldn't have much success… The band split-up and they would become famous on other bands: Malou in Toreros After Olé and as solo artist, Toti Arbolés as drummer on [a98927], Rafa Gutierrez as bassist on [a651012], Emilio Estrecha and Luis Carlos Esteban with [a689016]… Too much bands for such a little bunch!
