The band was inagurated in Mexico City. We are a Mexican band and we started this band in the year 2000. We play punk, rock, grunge, metal, stupid ballads and blues.

From a begining we started the band Daniel de Buen, Fernando de Buen and Nestor de Buen, then Alejandro de Buen joined the band and at last Juan Pablo Mañon, the keyboard player and singer, joined the band.

In the begging, we barely knew how to play and we didn't have a bass player nor a singer (but the singer wasn't the priority). A few months later Cacha (Alejandro de Buen) started to like playing bass and joined in.

We had the name, the instruments, the musicians and even a song (Science Project) but... what about the singer?

Fernando, the guitar player, had a friend who sang and played the keyboards. Since we needed a keyboard player we decided to invite him into the band. He accepted the invitation and at last we united to make K-YA-T.

First we didn't know how to name the band. We thought about many names but all where either boring or just not the right one. After many days of thinking of a name we finally came up with K-YA-T( cállate). Some days later Cacha came up with a logo, it was a normal face with a zipper. Then we modified the original design and came up with a red angry face with a zipper. Afterwards, we decided to make the face in 3D and that came to be what is now our logo.

As we mentioned before, the first song was Science project, when the time came for our first concert we decided to make a new song, Néstor had a little riff which was modified and became Partes Humanas, which we never played in concert because we didn't have the lyrics.

Some time later we started making new songs. They came up in this order: I'm a Fish/Soy un Pez, La Reencarnación de Osiris, Clipo, Good Time, Canción de Amor, El Soldado, El ataque de los Minutos Asesinos and What Matters Most.

I'm a Fish/Soy un Pez was a song Fernando had written for his girlfriend, but it was lyricless. While we were in Cancún in our Summer Break we wanted to make a blues song but we didn't know how and since by that time Fernando had broke up with his girlfriend and he never actually sang the song to her we decided to use that song as one of ours. We had taken an acoustic guitar to Cancún so we decided to play the song and invent the lyrics. We were inspired by a little fish Cacha bought as a souvenir and as we were playing at night at the deck we thought or at least we pretended to think that we saw a giant octupus heading towards us to eat us (all we saw were two lights which were two boats in the horizon and those were the supposed eyes).

The next day after having played with the trashcans in the elevator Daniel, Cacha and Neta (Néstor) got stuck in that same elevator (we thought it felt good to jump while the elevator was in motion but this caused the elevator to stop moving between floors two and three. Neta yelled like crazy so that all the nearby rooms (about 20 of them) woke up in the middle of the night but nobody came to help us. The three of them tried to open the elevator door but there two doors. We tried to ring the alarm bell but nobody came (never trust elevator alarms). After having lost hope we heard Neta's mom coming to our rescue unfortunately she didn't have anything to open the door so she went for help. Finally we came out and we decided to use the stairs for all the time remaining.

Inspired by the unusual adventures including the elevator and the octopus and by the little fish we decided to make lyrics for I'm a Fish/ Soy un Pez.

This doesn't have to do with the making of the song but Fernando liked some girls whom Neta, Daniel and Cacha claimed to have met In the ping-pong court (really they just saw them playing ping pong and that was it). They told Fernando that the two girls were called Ashley and Mary Kate, which he deeply believed.
