Guiye Frayo is a London-based Argentine indie duo consisting of members Guillermo Martinez Ipucha and Veronica Santillo. [1]
Their music has elements of different styles combining pop, rock, psychedelic, electronica, dance and experimental to create a unique sound.
They not only play conventional instruments (guitars, keyboards and drums) but also theremin, circuit-bent toys and vintage synthesizers among others.
So far, they have released two Albums, nine EPs, nine Singles, and two video-clips. They are currently working in new material.
In 2006 they won the Argentine bands/soloists contest "Vale por un video Clip" for the song "Arcoiris en un ojo", [2] organized by FM La Tribu, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The judge were Tom Lupo (Argentine radio host, poet and psychologist), Guillermo Pintos [3] (Rolling Stone Argentina magazine at the time) and MTV Latin America VJ and Ruth Infarinato, the prize was the filming of a video-clip to the winning song. The video clip was made by Cine Humus, [4] and won Best Video clip at "Festival de Audiovisuales de La Plata" [5]
English actress Emma Kennedy once suggested "Autumn Freaks" as song of the day in her blog. [6]
They performed a live session at Balcony TV- London [7] in August 2009 where they played an unusual toy based set up.
In 2010 "Portrait", "The Walk" and "Funky Monkey" were broadcast on Japan radio Takaoka [8]
The band was introduced by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 ( BBC Introducing) several times, for the first time in 2008 [9] with the song "Vida Minima", then in 2010 with "The Walk", again in 2011 Tom Robinson officially presented "A Magnetic Field Called Love" single release, [10] the video clip to the song was launched the same week. Finally in 2014 [11] their song "You and Me" was played on ( BBC Introducing).
