Patricio Rey is a fictional character or group consciousness, and not a real person or member of the group. "El Indio" Solari, lead singer, embodies the one-man-show mystique followed by his powerful guitar player Skay Beilinson. Other members of the group have left the band and have been replaced (drums: "Piojo" Abalos; saxophone: "Willy" Crook; guitar: "Tito" Fargo D'Aviero). The members of the group were reluctant to do any interviews during their career.
The band's strength lies in the semantic power of its lyrics, which discuss different topics such as politics, drugs and women, but always from a philosophical and existential point of view.
The band broke up after the release of Momo Sampler, but several former members are still active and pursuing solo careers.
