La Fuga is a Spanish rock band from Reinosa, Cantabria that formed in the summer of 1996. It is composed by Xavi Moreno (voice and guitar), Nando (guitar), Raúl (bass) and Edu (drums). They have played more than 600 concerts over the course of ten tours, and they have published 10 albums to date. Formation and beginnings The group started to play in 1997. In the month of September, the band, formed then by Edu (drums), Rulo (lead vocals and guitar), Fito (guitar and backing vocals) and Iñaki (bass), started to give their first concerts in Reinosa and other places of Cantabria and Palencia. First disc: Mira After the great success of their demo, they started playing more and more concerts in more cities out of their locality, even playing in Madrid. They gained popularity, and people began to ask for their own songs. Because of this they decided to record their first studio album called Mira, which was released in 1998. To raise funds for the recording, they went to the city hall of Reinosa to request help. They were hired to give two concerts there in order to attain enough money to record in Navarra, in the Sonido XXI studies, with the San Martín brothers. Half of the costs of the album were paid by the members, whereas the other half was paid for by an independent seal of Santander, FAK Records.
