Biography:
Las Brujas are considered the first Argentine metal band composed entirely of girls. It was formed in 1987 by Gabriela Folgueras, who since then would be the rhythm guitarist of the formation.

After several lineup changes, it came the solidity with Silvia Gers as lead guitar and vocals, Alex Bass on bass and Ysa Sierra behind the patches.

Its principles were hard rock, but they were gradually transformed into a pure metal band.

After several demos and concerts in various locations in Argentina, in mythical places of the metal scene such as “Halley” or “Cemento” sharing the stage with bands the likes of Los Violadores, Kamikaze, Letal, El Reloj o Hermética, they got their first record contract.

The company who put an eye on them was Barca, with whom Las Brujas released “Me Llaman La Loca” in 1989, a record where also contributed Laura Giarruso at bass.

The LP, released on cassette and vinyl, was so well received that in 1990 the fans voted Las Brujas as the best new band in “Metal” Magazine. It consisted of eight own songs and a spanish version of the classic “Johnny Be Good”.

But in 1991 Silvia Gers left the band. Her departure and the problems with the record label led Las Brujas to disband at the end of 1992.
