Nancys Rubias
Biography
An electro pop/glam group formed in Madrid in 2004 by Mario Vaquerizo, Juan Pedro, Miguel Balanzategui, and Susie Pop, Nancys Rubias are tightly associated with Fangoria, as Vaquerizo is both Alaska´s husband and Fangoria´s manager, and Nacho Canut writes all of their lyrics. Plus, they often tour and perform as ´s supporting act. Conceived at the spur of the moment as a novelty act/inner joke, Nancys Rubias take their ironic obsession with kitsch, androgynous sexuality, bubblegum punk, and disco to the point of self-parody. Predictably, this well-connected concept band has a heightened media profile, and its albums and singles have proved quite popular. The group´s hedonist fun suffered a massive blow with the suicide of Susie Pop in 2008, but Nancys Rubias rebounded with 2011´s Ahora o Nunca, their fourth and best-selling album to date. ~ Mariano Prunes, Rovi
