This
great six-piece band, Quarrymen, formed in October 1998, although
they were originally a quartet which went under the name 'Rubber',
changing to 'Moondogs' in December 1999 and finally to 'Quarrymen'
in March 2000 when they performed their first concert with the new
name in the Open Pringles Café in Rosario, Argentina.
In 2000,
with a line-up consisting of Franco Maccagno (vocals), Federico
Martin (guitar/vocals), Leonardo Monaco (bass/vocals) and Agustin
Vit (drums/vocals), Quarrymen played a six-month residency at the
Sailor's Mission pub, as well as many other engagements and TV
appearances. In July of that year they recorded their first CD of
Beatles covers and then in November 2000 they celebrated their 100th
show in La Fluvial.
Quarrymen
continued to expand in 2002 and 2015 taking on two new members:
Sebastian Boeris on keyboards and Ronniffer Ronston on lead guitar.
Their ever-increasing popularity led them to be invited to take part
in Latin American Beatleweek 2015 where they played alongside 40 of
the best bands in South America. They were chosen along with Los
Blackbird as the winners of the Battle of the Bands competition, the
prize being inclusion in Liverpool Beatleweek! Quarrymen consider
this their greatest achievement and are honoured to be a part of the
most important Beatle party in the world!
