Argentinean Dios Los Cría debuted in the Latin rock scene with the release of a self-titled album in 1996, after signing up to PolyGram, which was produced by Tweety González, former Soda Stereo keyboardist. Dios Los Cría's live breakthrough took place in Mar del Plata's International Festival in 1995, followed by performances at Monsters of Rock in Buenos Aires and a local alternative festival, playing along with Beastie Boys and Marilyn Manson. On February 16th, 2000 original drummer Leo Parin played with Dios Los Cría for the last time, being replaced by percussionist Mariano Mendoza. That same year, Dios.com was released. ~ Drago Bonacich
