History

Guiye Frayo was originally a solo project by Guillermo. He had met Veronica in a previous band in which they played together, Guillermo decided to turn his soloist project into a band in 2007. After relocating to London they met Jordan who joined them on drums during 2010, when they recorded "A Magnetic Field called love"[2]

In 2006 they won the Argentine bands/soloists contest "Vale por un video Clip" for the song "Arcoiris en un ojo",[3] organized by FM La Tribu, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The judge were Tom Lupo (Argentine radio host, poet and psychologist), Guillermo Pintos[4] (Rolling Stone Argentina magazine at the time) and MTV Latin America VJ and Ruth Infarinato, the prize was the filming of a video-clip to the winning song. The video clip was made by Cine Humus,[5] and won Best Video clip at "Festival de Audiovisuales de La Plata"[6]

English actress Emma Kennedy once suggested "Autumn Freaks" as song of the day in her blog.[7]

They performed a live session at Balcony TV- London[8] in August 2009 where they played an unusual toy based set up.

In 2010 "Portrait", "The Walk" and "Funky Monkey" were broadcast on Japan radio Takaoka[9]

The band was introduced by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 (BBC Introducing) several times, for the first time in 2008[10] with the song "Vida Minima", then in 2010 with "The Walk", again in 2011 Tom Robinson officially presented "A Magnetic Field Called Love" single release,[11] the video clip to the song was launched the same week. Finally in 2014[12] their song "You and Me" was played on (BBC Introducing).
