Current_members =Rober! , Alvaro Segovia, Natxo Beltrán, Jabi, Joe Gonzalez, Iñigo CabezafuegoAtom Rhumba is a Basque band formed in
Bilbao in 1996.Their sound may be described as a mix of late 70's New York rock (
ROIR cassettes...) and 50's Rock'n'Roll fuelled by a strong and primitive rhythm section definitely influenced byJames Brown .All their members come from the metropolitan area of
Bilbao . Although they had a constantly fluid line-up,Rober! , singer and main composer, has been in control of the band from the beginning.Notorious for their incendiary live act, the raw sound of their records (they always play live in the studio) and critical acclaim.
