1994: the beginning
Ska-P was formed by a group of friends in Vallecas (Madrid) in 1994 as a ska band. The initial lineup was Pulpul, lead vocals and guitar; Toni Escobar, guitar and vocals; Julio, bass; Kogote, electronic keyboard and vocals; and Pako, drums. That same year they recorded their first CD, the nine-track Ska-P, with AZ-Records. It did not sell many copies compared with later efforts, but it gave the group recognition, especially for the song "Como un rayo," a fight song for the soccer team Rayo VallecanoRayo Vallecano

1995-1996: Rise to fame
The guitarist Toni left the band in 1995 (due to the impossibility of combining his work with the band's schedule) and Joxemi took his place. Pipi, a friend of Pulpul, also joined the band. Previously he only entered onstage in costume in some concerts and helped the group set up. From this point, he took the role of secondary vocalist while continuing, during some songs, to appear in costume.In 1996 the group released their second album, El vals del obrero

2005-2007: "Indefinite hiatus"
After more than 12 years together, in February 2005 they announced that they were going on an indefinite hiatus. They explained that they "needed a rest," although Pipi claimed that the decision was made by Pulpul alone, and the rest of the group had to quit as they could not continue without him. In fact, there are rumors, based on the attitude of both sides, that there were internal squabbles between Joxemi, Pipi, and Pulpul. Even so, the group declared that "the possibility of a future return remains open." They also announced a farewell tour.Their last concert in Spain was September 24, 2005 in La Cubierta de Leganés, and their last show was in Argentina October 12, 2005. The group's members decided to end their farewell tour there thanks to the treatment they had received there previously. All the revenue from this festival was donated to Argentine charities, such as the mapuche

communities (in memory of the pain inflicted on them by the Spanish during the conquest and formation of the Vice-Kingdom of Río de la Plata) and almshouses serving food in Buenos Aires.
In 2006, six months after the hiatus begun, Pulpul wrote an entry on the official Web site announcing that he was still composing and hoped that the lyrics would be included on a new Ska-P album. Some members of the group joined other groups during the hiatus, with Pipi, for example, founding a group similar to Ska-P called The Locos. Joxemi formed a group with a more punk style called No-Relax in 2006.
2007-2008
On October 12, 2007, two years after the "indefinite hiatus" began, a message from Pulpul appeared on the official Ska-P Web site referring to a possible Ska-P reunion in 2008. In the same message, the members of the group wrote positively of the reunion, except for Pipi, who initially said he would continue playing with his new group, The Locos, and would not return to Ska-P. In the details of the message, they said they would try to get together all the old members and possibly release an album in October 2008. In 2007, Alacrán Producciones opened a contract for a 2008 Ska-P tour. The group's return was confirmed on the official page and announced a new disc for October 2008, Lágrimas y GozosLágrimas y Gozos
