After his stint with legendary Argentine Power Trio Manal, Alejandro Medina joined La Pesada (the very particular combo led by the equally-mythical and extravagant Billy Bond.) Together with this band, he recorded his very first "solo" efforts, doing different Psychedelic Hard Rock and acoustic Folk songs full of all sorts of effects, and of course, his traditional Hard Blues.
