Biography

Jaime Urrutia Valenzuela came up as a member of the Ejecutivos Agresivos Spanish rock movement, associated with the dark, brooding British rock sounds coming from bands like the Cure, Joy Division and Bauhaus. Though the movement produced such popular bands as Derribos Arias and Decima Victima, Urrutia found himself as one of the most lasting and notable creative forces associate with Ejecutivos Agresivos. After nearly twenty years fronting the popular Spanish rock trio Gabinete Caligari, vocalist/guitar player Jaime Urrutia struck out on his own, his former bandmates lacking the desire to continue writing and performing. Officially splitting in October of 1999, Urrutia went months without a label or management for the first time since the early '80s. Urrutia approached DRO, who were more than happy to support the proven hit maker, and signed a contract in December of 2000. He teamed up with Spanish rock veteran producer Esteban Hirschfeld, and together the pair recorded -- having sifted through boxes of repertoire that Urrutia had written during his days with Gabinete Calignari -- and experimented with mixing styles and sounds for Urrutia's debut solo album. After seven weeks in the studio, the record was complete and released under the name Patente de Corso, featuring singles "Que Barbaridad" and "Castillos en el Aire." His second disc was released only a short time later, titled El Muchacho Electrico, which was followed in 2007 by Urrutia's first live disc, titled En Joy. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
