Xhelazz formed in Monterrey in 1998 when three friends, Marcos Balderas, Pepe Elizondo, and Chucho Gurrola, started playing music together. They wrote songs about their city and its soccer club, Rayados del Monterrey, and one of them, "Estamos Rayados," became an unofficial anthem for the team's supporters.
Their music mixed pop and rock with some Mexican rhythms, and they put out albums like "Bien Rayados" and "Rayados de Corazón." Other songs in their catalog include "Alas Rotas" and "Confesionario De Papel."
They worked with other Monterrey acts like La Firma and El Gran Silencio, and the trio stayed together as the core of the band. Their songs got played at Rayados games and around the city, tying their music to local pride.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
