There were few national groups in the second half of the eighties that were as big and as successful as AEROLINEAS FEDERALES. Their choruses are extremely catchy, their carefee attitude and youthful melodies got a huge public hooked on them, and made their five studio albums sell thousands of copies. Songs like “No Me Beses En Los Labios”, “Soy Una Punk”, “Sólo Quiero Divertirme”, “Alegra La Cara”, “No Sé Ligar”, “Hop Hop”, or their fun versions of “Summer Nights” from the movie “Grease” and “Video Killed The Radio Star” by THE BUGGLES, respectively re-titled “Vacaciones” and “Mi Video No Tiene Mando A Distancia”, now form a part of the history of Spanish pop and have clearly been influential to bands like VACACIONES, L-KAN, JUNIPER MOON and LOS FRESONES REBELDES.

After the insistence of their Peruvian fans, AEROLÍNEAS FEDERALES got together last spring to play two really successful concerts in Lima. Now we have the pleasure of announcing that this reunion tour is going to continue, with the band’s original line-up, for a few more shows. The original line-up consists of Miguel Costas (who is also a founding member of SINIESTRO TOTAL), Luis Santamarina and Silvino Díaz, as well as Rosa Costas and Coral Blázquez, otherwise known as “the Aerolinettes”, who, although they weren’t with the group in the very beginning, have formed a part of the group since before they recorded their first album, and are a part of the most famous and stable line-up of the band. The authors of “No Me Beses En Los Labios” will get back on stage to play some of their greatest hits like, “Soy Una Punk”, “No Se Ligar”, “Oh, Que Pena Me Das”, “Largate” and “Hop Hop”. So far they have confirmed a concert for this coming November 5th in the Razzmatazz club in Barcelona, as a part of the series of concerts that celebrate the well-known club’s anniversary, and more concerts are foreseen throughout 2012.
