Babasónicos is an Argentine rock band, formed in the early 1990s along with others such as Peligrosos Gorriones and Los Brujos. After emerging in the wave of Argentine New Rock bands of the late '80s and early '90s, Babasónicos became one of the banner groups of the "sonic" underground rock movement in Argentina in the late 1990s.
The band name refers partly to Sai Baba, the Indian guru, and partly to The Jetsons, whose Spanish version is called Los Supersónicos.
The lead singer Adrián "Dárgelos" Rodríguez and the keyboardist Diego "Uma-T" Tuñón initially decided to create a New Wave style, which wouldn't follow the established Argentine music. The other official band members are: Diego "Uma" Rodríguez (guitarist and lead singer), Diego "Panza" Castellano (drummer), Mariano "Roger" Domínguez (guitarist), and recently deceased Gabriel "Gabo" Manelli (bassist).
For their second album, Trance Zomba (1994), they incorporated a guest DJ, "DJ Peggyn" who would eventually remain as a band member until after releasing Miami (1999). This same year the band saw the departure of their long time manager Cosme.
In 1999, they collaborated with Ian Brown on a song that bears their name on his album Golden Greats.
Although the band has never been afraid to experiment with various diverse styles throughout their career, since they recorded Jessico (2001) their songs have become simpler and more in tune with current trends in music. Some believe this to be a contradiction with their original tenets, and that Babasónicos has turned into a mainstream marketable band.
Their last two records, Infame (2003), and Anoche (2005) are proof that they have reached a broader audience.
Babasónicos also composed the soundtrack for Vera Fogwill's movie Las Mantenidas Sin Sueños (Kept and Dreamless), which was released in 2007. The album was composed in 2003.
On January 12, 2008, the band posted an entry on their official site in which they informed that their longtime bassist, Gabriel Manelli had passed away as a result of Hodgkin's disease, which he had been suffering since the tour supporting the album Infame.
The band is in London mixing what will become their ninth album. This new album will be called "Mucho", and it will be a more straight foward rock album than their predecessors.[1]Phil Brown (Bob Marley, Robert Palmer, Talk Talk, Roxy Music) will work with Babasónicos just like he did in their previous album, Anoche. It is unknown who will be their new bassist.

Summary: Babasonicos lo logró nuevamente 2008-06-19
Comment: El nuevo disco de Babasónicos a pesar de tener solo 10 canciones, sale con nota aprobatoria. A pesar de no haber cambiado mucho el sonido respecto del anterior disco "ANOCHE", las canciones mantienen la línea melódica sobresaliente, especialmente en las canciones mas tranquilas y la fuerza característica de sus canciones mas fuertes. "Yo anuncio" definitivamente tenia que ser la primera canción por ese estribillo fabuloso "Y por mas que me bañe en humildad, se evapora al rato". "Pijamas" suena bastante a "ANOCHE", sin embargo a la vez es muy novedosa. La pepa de esta canción esta a partir de la frase "Corro espantando alejándome de todos...". "Escamas" nos deja ese buen verso "puede ser que esta noche me salga con la mía". "Cuello Rojo" y sus bang, crac, tric y noc, noc, noc. "Como eran las cosas", que decir de esta hermosa balada, maravillosos recursos melódicos, hacen de esta una cancion sobresaliente de este disco. "Microdancing" por alguna razón me recuerda a "Pistero" del "INFAME". "Las demás" intro inspirado de guitarra con sonido Fender y letra escrita con sentimiento, al final de la canción se aprecia un instrumento llamado "palo de lluvia". "Estoy rabioso" como dice el titulo, la letra de esta canción esta escrita con rabia e inteligencia. "Nosotros" tiene 30 segundos de introducción, algo muy raro en los últimos discos de Babasónicos. Pero la melodía nuevamente pone a prueba las capacidades de los Baba para componer. Cierra este disco "El Ídolo", con una letra que es un himno y una melodía nuevamente superior al promedio que se escucha habitualmente. Otro disco merecedor de 5 estrellas empezando en "JESSICO", "INFAME" Y "ANOCHE".
