Its founders were Sebastián Teysera (lead vocals, frontman and main songwriter), Nicolás Lieutier (bass guitar) and Santiago Butler (guitar) - all three are still part of the band today. The band's first appearance as La Vela Puerca was in a montevidean street party in December 24, 1995. By then, several new members had already joined in. In 1996, frontman Sebastián Teysera presented a demo tape to a band contest. The rest of the band did not become aware of this until they found out they were one of the twenty finalists. A month later, they recieved a phone call saying they had won, and with this they were given 80 hours of free recording session which would be vital for their debut album.

La Vela Puerca released four albums: Deskarado (1998)(1999 released in Europe as "La Vela Puerca"), De Bichos Y Flores (2001), A Contraluz (2004)and El Impulso (2007).

In Germany they're well-known since they've played with Die Ärzte in Germany and Uruguay. In 2006 they're touring again in Europe.

Pensar
La Vela Puerca Lyrics

Solo en mi cuarto me puse a pensar
Quién es el dueño de la oscuridad
Si existe luz para poderlo ver
Y si lo veo, qué va a suceder

Tendré que nacer de nuevo
O darle mi tentación
Tendré que mirarlo fijo

Y decirle todo

Lo que pienso de su voz
De su miseria, de su mundo atroz
Con la esperanza
De que ya no exista más
Y que deje en paz a los demás

Espero que alguien de los que hay aquí
Venga conmigo para resistir
A los embates de su desamor
A su codicia y a su perdición

Tendremos que maniatarlo
Dejarlo fuera de acción
Tendremos que ser valientes

Y poder decirle
Qué pensamos de su voz
De su miseria, de su mundo atroz
Con la esperanza
De que ya no exista más
Y que deje en paz a los demás

Tendré que nacer de nuevo
O darle mi tentación
Tendré que mirarlo fijo

Y decirle todo
Lo que pienso de su voz
De su miseria, de su mundo atroz
Con la esperanza
De que ya no exista más
Y me deje en paz a los demás

Solo en mi cuarto me puse a pensar
