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 ↴
Si se me nota no levanto la mirada
Y me derrito si te tengo cara a cara
Si te encuentro a solas vuelvo a creer en Dios
Es que me mata tu ausencia
Y haberte querido tanto
Porque el recuerdo no es real
El tiempo arrasa secuestrando mi pudor
Cobro confianza y te dirijo unas palabras
Caigo al abismo que el presente nos depara
Y febril en la caída pregunto ¿qué nos pasó?
Es que me mata tu ausencia
Y haberte querido tanto
Porque el recuerdo no es real
Estemos juntos otra vez
Es que me mata tu ausencia
Y haberte querido tanto
Porque el recuerdo no es real
(No acepto más pasarla mal)
Estemos juntos otra vez
In Babasónicos's song "Mareo," the singer expresses his intense feelings of love and longing for someone he has been separated from. The first verse reveals the singer's timidity and embarrassment at admitting the depths of his feelings; he avoids eye contact and becomes flustered around this person. However, when they are alone, he feels a sense of divine connection, as if his belief in a higher power has been renewed through the mere presence of this other person. The chorus emphasizes the pain of separation and the singer's deep emotions; he cannot bear the absence of this person in his life and longs to be reunited.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on the passage of time and its toll on his sense of modesty; he gains confidence and speaks more openly to this person, but as he does so, he feels himself falling into the unknown future, uncertain about what has happened between them. The final lines suggest a sense of despair and confusion, as the singer wonders what went wrong between them and why they cannot be together. Overall, "Mareo" is a deeply emotional and introspective song that explores themes of love, separation, and the passage of time.
