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 Nacho Cano was lead guitarist), Rafa Gutiérrez (guitar), Emilio Estrecha (bass) and Luis Carlos Esteban (keyboards, from Trastos). Soon Eduardo would leave the band to become Alaska Y Los Pegamoides 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 Alaska Y Los Pegamoides, Rafa Gutierrez as bassist on Hombres G, Emilio Estrecha and Luis Carlos Esteban with Ole Ole… Too much bands for such a little bunch!
