Protistas
The band form Santiago made a name for themselves with performances at Lollapalooza, Chile
and Primavera Fauna, as well as shows in Mexico and the US. From their 3 albums, “Nortinas
War” (2010), “Las Cruces” (2012) and “Nefertiti” (2014) they draw upon hybrid melodies with the
guitar as the main protagonist. What is more they have reached a level of live performance so
impressive that they have established themselves as a reference band for Chilean indie rock, an
identity which continued to grow after having taken part in Neutral and All My Friends in Mexico
and Festival Fauna in Chile 2015. Right now they are in full creative mode producing their next
studio project, from which they have already released the first single called “Mantis Religiosa”.
