El Otro Yo
El Otro Yo ([el ˈotɾo ˈʝo], "The Other Me") is an Argentinean alternative rock band. They made their debut in the late '80s / early '90s, with a demo tape called Los Hijos de Alien, followed by Traka-Traka. Later on, the group successfully founded its own label, Besotico Records, thus sealing their independent personality. EOY is the independent group with the most albums recorded in the 1990s. The band shared tours and stages with bands such as Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Incubus, Yo La Tengo, Molotov, Café Tacuba, Todos Tus Muertos, Los Brujos, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Silverchair, Soda Stereo, Robi Draco Rosa, The Offspring and Placebo, among others. They have played extensively all over Latin American and the United States. El Otro Yo is the third band in the world (after Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead) to transform their official website into a social network, which is called Comunidad EOY. They are also the first Latin American band to offer their own application for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users.
