Manta Raya is born in 2000, in Mar del Plata / Argentina. Mecha, George and Quique knew each other studying Visual Arts. At that time, 1998, they played in different bands. Mecha used to sing in Amapola Kitsch, Quique played bass in Ubika and George was the singer and guitar of Manta Raya. This is how they shared their art and gigs and parties sometimes. After a while, destiny and the same love for music brought them back together. And they had no other choice but to do what they like the most… Rock!! They played in every single place they could. From the smallest shitty underground bar to big venues, clubs and festivals. In March '07 Manta Raya was selected by Paste Magazine & Coca Cola Company to be one of the independent artists promoted at Coca Cola's website. Finally their new album "Yeah!" came out in September 2007. Produced by Manta Raya. Mixed by MantaGeorge & Luciano Siclari. Mastered by Luciano Siclari. Supported by UMI (Independents Musicians Union).
Press - Noize Makes Enemies Review:
Maradona, dirty tackles, knocking England out of the world Cup, cool new rave bands….cool new rave bands?! No, not normally one of the things that spring to mind when you think of Argentina, that was until Manta Raya came along mind!
These three visual arts students who got together in 2000 have grafted their way up the live show ladder and crafted their sound to a fine point. With a debut album entitled ‘Yeah!’ immanent, the timing couldn’t be better as it will catch the new rave wave at its crest.
Where CSS have succeeded, surely Manta Raya will follow. With a very similar sound but bags more Peaches-esque attitude and a sex-on-a-stick front woman who would steal Lovefoxx’s groupies all day long with just one pout! Shit hot songs with deep sexual tones, portrayed so sensually by front woman
Mecha, it’s enough to make you fall in love with her at first listen “..he can fuck, I love the way he kiss and plays guitar” Their sound has more attitude than B.A. Barracas on a bad hair day. Deep, grimy techno synths and seething guitars, head bangingly catchy drum machine beats and sullied bass lines.
If their demos are just a taster, then their full album ‘Yeah!’ should catapult Manta Raya to the top of the new rave league. Forget what CSS told you, don’t “make love and listen to death from above”, make love and listen to Manta Raya! Like Diego’s hand through an English defence, their coming and no one’s gonna stop them!
