Vedas Toronado is a alt. rock / hard rock / metal band from a southern country bathed by the River Plate. The band threw a stick in the works by doing a musical genre which isn’t very popular in the surroundings. However that’s not a hindrance, playing rock n’ roll makes them feel alive and that’s all they need…

Before the band was formed, these guys were getting on with their lives, working, making some music and also wondering if doing what they liked best (music) was still worth it (Not just for fun, but as a way of life)…
Music always made up almost 100% of their “side-hustle” time, even when it’s considered a time-consuming and money-waster hobby. Anyway, this is irrelevant when you’re doing what you really love.
All four musicians barely knew each other before starting this project. However, it all fit together amazingly. Synchronicity, they say… After rehearsing for a while, the band knew that they had something… Something that would require a new mindset… How about trying, once and for all, to push a band as far as it can go? Then they came up with this crazy idea: To try their luck not only locally, but also far from home…
Many people still think they are wackos for trying to make a living from music, abroad and at this age. Of course they didn’t give a shit and went for it. Every time is the right time to start something you are passionate about.
As teenagers, in the ’90s, they would listen to bands like Nirvana, Guns n’ Roses, Soundgarden, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Pantera, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine and many more… Nice times! Happiness was just about a personal cassette player with songs taken from the radio.
Band members: Christian Trapp aka “Titan” (vocals and guitars); Rodrigo García aka “Monkeyman” (guitars and backing vocals); Juancho Rodríguez (bass and backing vocals); Marcel Lamas (drums).
