Ãœnloco

Ãœnloco is an American nu metal band formed in Austin, Texas.

History

Ünloco was formed in 2000 by frontman vocalist Joey Dueñas, with Pete Navarrete on drums, Victor Escareño on bass, and Brian Arthur on guitar. That same year, the band released a six-track EP titled '' Useless'' through Captiva Records.

The band was signed by Madonna's Maverick label and on March 20, 2001, Ãœnloco released their debut album ''Healing'' produced by Johnny K. The album struggled to sell, and the band's future with their label was uncertain.

Soon after, guitarist Brian Arthur left to join Goldfinger, and was replaced by Marc Serrano. From October to November 2002, Ãœnloco co-headlined an American tour with Kittie; Clockwise and Acacia supported.

Their second effort, ''Becoming i'', was released on March 11, 2003, and was produced by Andrew Murdock – responsible for Powerman 5000, Godsmack, and Chimaira, among other artists. During said year, the band toured with Korn, opened for ''Music as a Weapon II'', and appeared at '' Ozzfest 2003''. Despite the push from their label, ''Becoming i'' failed to meet expectations, and the band split up that same year.

Since then, guitarist Marc Serrano joined the now disbanded A Dozen Furies, drummer Pete Navarrete formed a band called Exit the Sun, and vocalist Joey Dueñas formed a band called Anew Revolution, featuring members from Slaves on Dope. The band released a five-track self-released EP in 2005. They also released ''Rise'' in 2008 and '' iMERICA'' in 2010.

In July 2014, Ãœnloco announced a reunion show in Austin, Texas. On September 20, 2014, they played at the Dirty Dog Bar with guitarist Kash Sarkaria and bassist Mando Ayala. On March 14, 2017, Ãœnloco played a SXSW show at Grizzly Hall in Austin, Texas.
