El Clan was a notorious Gothic band in Mexico City back in 1993. The band was created by Gustavo, who became the lead singer of the band. It all started when Gustavo met Pedro Alvarez, the bass player of the heavy metal band "Azul de Media Noche" (Midnight Blue), and Pedro introduced Gustavo to his bandmates; Jaime, Victor and Israel. They invited Gustavo to jam with them, after which he told them about his project "El Clan", the idea to create a gothic band able to give a theatrical performance based on dark opera, magical communion and diverse forms of gothic music. Also to create a large group of people, a family a "Clan" with all those who wanted to expand and preserve the human conscience for positive creativity, and expose the duality of all the hidden things of nature; Life/death, up/down, black/white, men/women, right/left and so on. And so "El Clan" was formed. "El Clan" was notorious for it's unique performance and metaphorical lyrics. The band signed a record deal with Latin Sony Music/Epic/Dodo in 1993. Their first album titled "Sin Sentir/No Feeling", had on the front cover of the album a picture of a large, uncommon pair of masks, this emblem represented a vision that Gustavo had when he came up with the idea of "El Clan". The "Sin Sentir" album sold 5000 copies right away, After this incident the band created a great impact on Mexico's underground Rock Scene. "El Clan" continued performing and touring all around Mexico, even El Clan got to share the stage with some awesome gothic bands like Human Drama from USA. All the media started to talk about "El Clan", and unfortunately the main idea was lost. Some people enjoyed "El Clan's"performance and music because they wanted to be a part of it and others just wanted to have some fun and be part of what was new. "El Clan" started working on their second album, when suddenly Gustavo decided to leave the band because his main purpose and idea of the band was lost and changed. El Clan became just another gothic band. Gustavo left for the USA, leaving everything that he had created behind, to eventually create his vison. After Gustavo left the band, Jaime, Victor and Guillermo(a new keyboard dude) continue working on making music using the same band's name but with a totally different concept, later Victor (drums) left and there was a new Clan concept created by Jaime and Guillermo, is not the same but it's ok! The show must go on.
