Kinky is one of the bands in the newer wave of emerging Spanish rock bands. What I think is super cool about them is that unlike many other Spanish rock bands, they also sing in English. The band consists of five members: Gilberto Cerezo, Ulises Lozano, Carlos Chairez, Omar Góngora, and Cerezo is the lead singer.
Kinky originated in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico back in 2000. Soon after, in 2002, they released their debut album "Kinky," with "Mas" (More) as one of their singles. "Mas" is now their most known single around the world.
Another reason I think this band is so great is because they are very involved with pop-culture. In other words, many of their songs are in video games, television commercials, television shows, and movies. For example, "Mas" was used in commercials for Nissan and Taco Bell (you will recognize it as soon as you play the video below!), in the NBC mini-series "Kingpin," and in the movies "Thirteen" and "Man on Fire," movie which also used "Field Goal," another song by Kinky. Their song "Coqueta" (Flirt), is in the FIFA 06 soccer video game. As if that's not enough, "Uruapan Breaks" comes out in the Showtime series "Dexter," and "Papel Volando" (Flying Paper) was used in the CW series "Gossip Girl."
