Biography
Argentinean Latin rock band Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota have mostly been recognized for their interesting performances, including acting and dancing. In 1982, the band recorded a demo for RCA, which included a song called "Super Lógico," later played by a few Buenos Aires' radio stations, and getting a positive response. While that song was climbing up the charts, Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota had the opportunity to get a record deal, and released Gulp in 1984. Two years later, Oktubre was recorded with singer Claudia Puyo. After that album was released, the group had their second hit, a song called "Semen-Up." One of the band's most important achievements was to reunite more than 100,000 followers in a Buenos Aires free show in April 2000, proving the band's popularity. That same year, Momo was released. ~ Drago Bonacich, RoviWikipedia on Answers.com:

History
Patricio Rey is a fictional character or group consciousness, and not a real person or member of the group. "El Indio" Solari, lead singer, embodies the one-man-show mystique followed by his powerful guitar player Skay Beilinson. Other members of the group have left the band and have been replaced (drums: "Piojo" Abalos; saxophone: "Willy" Crook; guitar: "Tito" Fargo D'Aviero). The members of the group were reluctant to do any interviews during their career.
The band's strength lies in the semantic power of its lyrics, which discuss different topics such as politics, drugs and women, but always from a philosophical and existentialist point of view.
The band broke up after the release of Momo Sampler, but several former members are still active and pursuing solo careers.
In 2005, the band received the Konex Award as best Rock Group of the 1995-2005 decade, distinction shared with Divididos.
