Los Sírex

Their training began in June 1959 in Barcelona, when three friends and neighbors living on Gran Via street (Guillermo Rodríguez Holgado, Antonio Miers and Manolo Madruga, 15–17 years old at the time) decided to play music under the influence of Elvis Presley. To complete their apprenticeship, they often listen other bands at the Spanish University Union () on Canuda street or at the CAPSA theatre on Aragon Street, where other groups like Estrellas Fugaces or Los Cocodrilos played. In 1960, Santi Carulla, a classmate of Guillermo, briefly joined the band before moving on to be the lead singer of the rival band Los Mustang: both bands participated in a contest for young talents on Ràdio Barcelona, after which the rival band asked Carulla to be their singer. The first performance of Los Sirex was at a Barça football fan club (Penya barcelonista) at Caspe Street. That was followed by concerts at the "Tropical" club in Castelldefels. After Carulla left, Antoni Miquel Cerveró, from the band Los Meteors, joined as lead singer, and Josep Fontseré joined as rhythm guitarist, forming the lineup for the band's 1960s success period. ==Discography==
