History
Info was formed in 2000 by Camilo Z. on lead vocals, Alex L. on drums (former members of punk band Eskizofrenia) and guitarist John C.. First songs came from this trio, but bassless live sound was weak. As Milton R. became a member of the band as bassist, the loops, electronics effects and samplers came with him. Milton R. was the drummer for alternative post-punk band Santaraña and BrujoNitro, a power-metal band from Bogotá, leaving percussion behind for playing bass on Info instead. Alex L. was 2nd. drummer for 1280 Almas, a famous band in the early 1990s at Colombia. Once this members are full involved with the band, artistic and musical concept spins on the Man of the Future idea.
The name Info comes from the word information, which represents all the new breed needs for being smart and powerful in the future: there are no limits for information in nowadays... "Internet, media, networks exist for the human being evolution and reached by everyone" (John C. on interview for Radioactiva 97.9 FM, Colombia - March 2005).
In the working time building the band's final sound, Info was invisible for media for almost 4 years until the band was discovered by Rubén D. Rodriguez from the indie record label Megavelvet Ultra Music, who became their manager and offered the recording of a 4 songs demo edited in 2004, which includes the industrial version of Muevete, a classic tune of the legendary Estados Alterados. Then they made their first video single, supported by Billig Cinema, an independent movie releaser company. The video was directed by Mane Machado, "La Marcha (de los monos mutantes)". Video was on air by first time on Citytv Bogotá and Musinet in Medellin. Muevete was their second video released on June 2005, directed by Mane Machado. On those days (2005), Info's keyboardist Damián C., quit the band for personal issues. Camilo J. joined the band in 2007 and left in 2008.
