The project was born in Buenos Aires in 2007, the union of She Devils, Juana Chang and Florencia Lliteras (Happy Makers), (Argentina), with Ali Gua Gua of Las Ultrasónicas (México).[3] At first, they played covers of The Cure, Madonna, Ramones, Black Sabbath, twisting them to the rhythm of cumbia with lyrics full of queer poetry and humor.[4] With their third album, 2012 appeared, the group turned to their own songs and lyrics mainly.[5]
In summer 2012, the band went on their third tour in Europe.
