History

Boscop, Priscila, Gustavo, Marcela, & Fara, are all part of Monterrey's
music/art collective/gang/tribe/record label/party throwers "Happy-fi".
Everyone at Happy-fi plays with everyone else at Happy-fi at some point.
“One of those days, in one of those points, we five found ourselves really
happy and excited with what we were doing and decided to go pro.”

Winter 2006, after lots of 40oz. bottles, lots of dancing, whiskey, second
hand clothing, a bit of nostalgia for raves, and practically more gigs than
rehearsals all around Mexico, Quiero Club’s self produced debut album WOF came
out. Four singles with four videos were released: No Coke, Backstage Drama,
Let the Music, & Latin America. On March 2008 "WOF" was released in Japan
via Art Union Co. with a remix of "let da music" by Japan's 80kids as a Bonus
track. Some of WOF's tracks became part of different compilations, others
became part of various movie soundtracks, others were remixed by dance floor
connoisseurs; after all this they say, “it's still the party we achieve with
the people that come to our shows that keeps us going.”

After 4 years of doing their thing on a huge plethora of scenarios, from
homemade backyard gigs to huge international festivals like Vive Latino Mexico
(3 times) and Rock al Parque Colombia; Quiero Club became a bit more self-conscious
and entered the studio to start working on new songs.

Spring 2008, the song "Showtime" is released with its video, this is the
first single off of their 12 track second album called "Nueva America". Nueva America
was released on November 2008; a bit more psychedelic, a bit more pop, a bit more
dance, a bit more experimental. On this album they had the honor to collaborate
with various artists they admire greatly. Jason Robert worked with them on the second
single called "The Flow"; and for their third single they did a lovely song called
"Minutos de Aire" with Jorge Gonzalez of Los Prisioneros from Chile. “It's been a
sweet joyful ride, we all love what we do. We are currently seriously considering
future geography, future politics, and sailing the World”…...-
