With a garage band attitude and sensibility, the lineup consisted of \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Garcia\u003c\/strong\u003e on guitar, \u003cstrong\u003eAriel Hernandez\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass, \u003cstrong\u003eRuben Perez\u003c\/strong\u003e on drums, \u003cstrong\u003eJose Rubio\u003c\/strong\u003e on the keys, a host of guest horn players and \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Fernandez\u003c\/strong\u003e on vocals, whose tone and delivery was often mistaken for that of a woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Mato, the record and band were well-received in Miami and Southern Florida at the time.
