Band's biography:
The band is formed after a traffic accident in December 1981, in Vigo (Galicia, Northwest of Spain), with a iconoclastic and neo-dadaist approach in the lyrics: galician punk rock against general boredom.
In January 1982 they send a demo with twelve songs to the radio program "This is not Hawai", presented by Jesús Ordovás in Radio 3 (Radio Nacional de España).
In June the same year the EP "Ayudando a los enfermos" ("Helping the sick people") is published with DRO, one of the new independent record companies that arised at that time.
In November they publish their first LP, "¿Cuándo se come aquí?" ("When do we eat here?") with 15 songs recorded in three days. It was a success in the alternative market.
In January 1983 they play live in Rock Ola (Madrid), an important concert venue for the new bands around the country. They record two songs for the program "Caja de ritmos" in Televisión Española. Due to censorship the program is canceled.

Siniestro Total Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¡Ray, no te veo!
Mi oído no funciona
Mi radar se ha estropeado
Mi oído se ha estropeado
Mi radar ya no funciona más
Y no sé donde estás
Matt ¿Dónde estás?
¡Ray, no te veo!
The lyrics of Siniestro Total's song E.L.E.V.E.N. (El famoso encuentro de Matt Murdock y Ray Charles) revolve around the frustration of Matt Murdock, who is also known as Daredevil, and his encounter with Ray Charles, the legendary musician who was blind. The song portrays Matt Murdock's inability to locate Ray in a humorous way, as his senses are not working as they should. He calls out to Ray, asking his whereabouts and expresses his confusion at not being able to see him.
The lyrics also emphasize Matt Murdock's use of his radar sense, which has been a crucial part of his superhero identity. However, in this situation, his radar sense has also failed him, leaving him lost and confused. The tone of the lyrics is light-hearted, and the comedic elements are heightened by the use of the characters from different spheres altogether.
Overall, the song is a witty and funny take on the meeting between two iconic figures and highlights the everyday struggles that superheroes face too.
