Los Piojos were a rock band from Argentina, highly popular, and one of the seminal bands of the 1990s Argentine suburban rock movement.
As with most suburban rock bands, their formative sound owes a significant amount to the style of the Rolling Stones. Unlike most suburban outfits, however, their style evolved significantly with each successive album, not only developing a unique style for the band but also quite harmoniously incorporating elements of murga, candombe, and tango to an electric guitar base. This plus generally tight and at times memorable songwriting by frontman Ciro, set them apart from the legions of suburban bands, and has made them one of the most popular bands in modern Argentine rock, with strong following across Latin America and Europe, unusual for a band in their sub-genre of Argentine rock. Their popularity remains undiminished to this day.

Famous quotes containing the word los:
“If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.”
