History

Crucis was formed in 1974 by Gustavo Montesano (guitar, vocals), José Luis Fernández (bass), Daniel Leonardo Frenkel (drums) and Daniel Oil (keyboards). When Fernández left the band, Montesano became the new bass player. Later on Marrone and Kerpel joined the band. In 1975 Daniel Frenkel left the band and Farrugia replaced him. They released two albums, Crucis in 1976 (produced by Charly García who was very famous in Argentina at the time after the demise of folk rock band Sui Generis) and Los Delirios del Mariscal in 1977. The band dissolved shortly after. Both their LPs were put together in a single CD entitled Cronología for re-release in 1996. Some reissues include 2 bonus tracks which the band recorded for a projected single in 1977. Crucis also played on Montesano's first solo album Homenaje that year. Montesano later joined the successful Spanish pop band Olé Olé.
