Their debut album Pasto was recorded and released in 1992 and has guest appearances by Gustavo Cerati, Daniel Melero and members of other groups which, at the time, were also part of the New Argentinian Rock (or Sonic rock) movement, such as Martes Menta and Juana la Loca. The only single released from Pasto was "D-Generación", which was a minor radio hit at the time and made the upcoming band known to Argentinian listeners. The album has an eclectic style, with many of the tracks being short skits (such as "41" de Ocio", which consists of the band chatting between songs; or "Mutha Fucka", a track which seems to have been made by cutting and pasting together various audio samples taken from TV).
For their second album Trance Zomba, released in 1994, DJ Peggyn joined the band. As a a consequence of the band having now 6 members, this album has a mixture of Rap, Funk and Hardcore Punk, but at the same time even psychedelic rock influences. "Malón", "Montañas de Agua", "Patinador Sagrado" and "Koyote" were the singles released for this album.
In 1996 the band released the highly experimental Dopádromo. This album has all sorts of music from the highly psychedelic "Zumba" and "Su Majestad", hard rock tracks as "El Medium and "Su Ciervo", instrumentals and even a hasta un bossa nova: "Perfume Casino". Destacan también "¡Viva Satana!" and "El Médium" were the biggest hist from this record.
Their fourth album, Babasónica showcased a heavier edge than their previous three, being influenced by heavy metal with distorted riffs and guitar solos on many songs ("Egocripta", "Demonomanía", "El Adversario"). On the other hand, the album has a softer acoustic side, with the delicate ballads "Sharon Tate" and "Esther Narcótica". The band has declared that this was meant to balance out the roughness of the heavier songs. Some tracks even include both stylistic approaches at once making for interesting contrast, like "Parafinada" or "Convoy". Lyrically, the album deals with the concepts of satanism. The band has declared that this approach isn't meant to be taken at face value, but as homage to classic metal, and as an attack on common Western ways of thinking, such as religion.
On their fifth release Miami, DJ Peggyn participated as a member of the band for the last time, he was sacked as his contributions were no longer felt necessary for the band. In 2000 he went for a solo career, renaming himself Jimmy Dolor. The album cover was designed by Alejandro Ros. It is a map of Argentina turned 90 degrees clockwise, resembling a map of the east coast of the United States; the map places a fictional Miami in the Argentinian province of Misiones. After the release of the album, Cosme, their manager, left the band.
After the release of Jessico (2001), Babasónicos shifted into a more pop-influenced sound and reached massive mainstream success, becoming one of Latin America's top bands.
Their follow up records, Infame (2003), Anoche (2005) , Mucho (2008), A Propósito (2011), Romantisismico (2014) and Discutible (2018), further expended this sound and merged it with their early psychedelic and experimental influences.
In 1999 they collaborated with alternative rock artist Ian Brown on a track for his second studio album, Golden Greats, that bears their name.
In early 2008, the official site informed that after a long and painful struggle with Hodgkins lymphoma, bass player Gabriel "Gabo" Mannelli passed away on January the 12th. He was 38 years old.
Since then, Babasónicos teamed up with long-time-friend Carca to temporarily replace Gabo, until late 2011 when Tuta Torres (ex-bassist from Los Látigos) joined the group as their new official bass player, with Carca now serving as a multi-instrumentalist.

Babasónicos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No me adviertas no poder
Con tus compromisos y tu ayer
No nos conocemos tanto
No hemos compartido todo
Ni siquiera tenemos amigos en común
Para enamorarme
Dame un solo beso
que dure más que una mentira
Nena, algo me intriga mucho
De eso presumo saber
Y si acaso curtimos
Sé que nos vamos a entender
Para enamorarme
No necesito tu consentimiento
Dame un solo beso
Que dure más que una mentira
Quizá esto se me pase mañana
Porque así no es el amor, ya lo sé
Para enamorarme
No necesito tu consentimiento
Dame un solo beso
que dure más que una mentira
Para enamorarme
No necesito tu consentimiento
Dame un solo beso
que dure más que una mentira dicha
The lyrics to Babasónicos's song "Curtis" reveal the singer's desire for a physical connection with a new love interest, while simultaneously rejecting any sort of permission or warning from the other person. They emphasize their lack of a deep connection or shared history, but suggest that a single kiss could be more meaningful than any words they've exchanged. The singer seems confident in their ability to recognize a true connection and hints at something that intrigues them about their potential partner.
The song seems to be an exploration of the tension between desire and control, as the singer asserts their independence while also acknowledging the possibility that their feelings may be fleeting. The line "Porque así no es el amor, ya lo sé" (because this isn't what love is, I know it) adds a note of melancholy and uncertainly to the otherwise brash lyrics, implying that the singer is aware of the ambiguity of the situation.
Overall, the song suggests a passionate desire to live in the moment and pursue a romantic connection without worrying about the future or seeking approval from others.

Se la cante a mi esposa al oido la noche antes de que se marchara......
Miércoles 13 de junio del 2018
Habíamos estado juntos por 11 años, fuimos padres prematuros....pero eso no limitaba el amor que le tenía
Ella fue al trabajo al amanecer y...........no volvió más😥
Hace algunos meses supe que fue a vivir a Medellín con un chico que conoció en el trabajo
Solo espero que sea feliz......
Por mi hija soy fuerte y lo seguiré siendo
Aún que me da nostalgia, pues nunca pude explicarle yo la amaba

Las canciones de Babasónicos me transmiten una añoranza de experiencias urbanas que ya son melancolía de otra vida. Pasajes de belleza extraordinaria.

Nadie nunca describió tan bien lo que me hacen sentir las canciones de babasonicos, te lo robo
@santiagoibarra5135
@Pablo Agustín Sueldo Gracias! Estás canciones eran una gran compañía en las inseguridades de mi adolescencia, y hoy representan un extraño de deseo de reescrituras en una vida sin sorpresas. Babasónicos ha sabido narrar muy bien esos paisajes. Gracias por compartir tus sentimientos.
