HistoryIn 1997, after having been a member of 9 different punk bands, Kutxi Romero decided to form a rock group.He called Alen Ayerdi - former drummer of Begira - who didn't hesitate to join Kutxi's project.
He then contacted Edu Beaumont "Piñas", whom he had met one year before.
Piñas hadn't played previously in any other band, but Kutxi - who was a very good friend of his - persuaded him to join as bassist.
Piñas accepted and introduced Kutxi to César Ramallo, who would become one of Marea's guitarists.
David Díaz, aka Kolibrí, also a guitarist, also joined the band.The band was initially called "La Patera" but as a band with the same name already existed they adopted the name Marea, that was supposed to be the title of their first album that they instead named La Patera.BMG expressed an interest in their first album and in 1999 they became Marea's first label.
