Cabezones is an Argentine hardcore- alternative rock band.

History

Formation

The band, originally from the city of Santa Fe, was formed in 1994. At first, their music was punk, with songs such as "Uniformado de Cagón", but they left that genre behind to start making so-called "hardcore-dark" music. In 1997 they released ''Hijos de una nueva tierra'', which was published by the

Mentes Abiertas, which they first met in a compilation album along with other alternative rock bands.

''Alas'' and ''Eclipse (Sol)''

In 1998 the band decided to move to Buenos Aires. Their new record, ''Alas'', produced by ex- Soda Stereo member Zeta Bosio, was edited by Sony Music later that year. This meant a change in the sound direction to a heavier and darker music. In 2002, ''Alas'' was edited in Mexico, followed by a ten-month tour throughout the country. Back in Argentina, Cabezones signed a recording contract with Pop Art to edit ''Eclipse (Sol)'' in 2003. By the end of that year, Leandro Aput was added as

Accident and disbanding

In March 2006, a serious car accident left Catupecu Machu bass player, Gabriel Ruiz Diaz, hospitalized for several months. Cesar Andino was the passenger of the car and suffered two broken femurs, one of them an open fracture. After several months of rehabilitation, Cesar Andino was able to perform with Cabezones in the Obras Sanitarias stadium, once again with sold-out tickets. Finally, near Christmas, Cabezones gave which would be the last show with the original members. In July 2007, Leandro Aput, Esteban Serniotti y Gustavo Martinez left the band. Frontman Cesar Andino, started seeking a solo career, which later ended in the release of the latest Cabezones album.

On 29 September 2007, Cabezones played in the Pepsi Music Festival with new members Leonardo Licitra and Pablo Negro in guitars, and Matias Tarragona in bass guitar. In May 2008 they launched their record, '' Solo''. The first single is called "Mi Reina". The videoclip for this song included various members from other Argentine bands.
