Pop/rock band from Spain La Oreja de
Van Gogh was formed in 1996 by young musicians who
met at a local university. Guitarist Pablo Benegas,
bassist Alvaro Fuentes, keyboardist Xabi San Martin,
and drummer Haritz Garde used to play alternative
rock songs just for fun until singer Amaia Montero
joined in, deciding to start composing to record a
demo tape. Soon after, the band came in first place
at San Sebastian's Pop/Rock Contest, later having
the opportunity to get a deal from Sony Music.
