In 1977, a group of friends from Madrid's Santamarca Institute decided to form a punk rock band called Alex y los Drugos, later turning into techno pop in a new project known as Holoplástico, which changed its name to Aviador Dro soon after. In 1980, La Chica de Plexiglás and La Visión became the group's first records, followed by Programa en Espiral and Alas Sobre el Mundo. Two years later, the band founded its own label, called Discos Radiactivos Organizados (DRO). After issuing 1983's double album Síntesis, Aviador Dro started touring around Spain, soon having the opportunity to open for Stranglers and David Bowie. In the year 2000, Cosmos Records released a tribute called Aviador Dro Re: Programado Robots Para los Atomos, featuring Aviador Dro's originals, performed by Ford Proco, Spunky, Calígula 2000, and Panoptica, among others. ~ Drago Bonacich, Rovi
