  fangoria are a spanish electronic pop duo, consisting of olvido gara (aka alaska, main vocals, occasional guitar), and nacho canut (keyboards, occasional bass guitar). fangoria have sold 1 million records worldwide since 1989. ==history== in 1977 alaska, along with nacho canut and carlos berlanga, formed the band alaska y los pegamoides. later, in 1982, they changed the name to alaska y dinarama. the group was popular and influential during la movida madrileÃ±a. some of their famous recordings include abracadabra, ni tÃº ni nadie,(which was entered for the spanish heats of the eurovision song contest in 1985 and later covered by the mexican group mÅnia in 2004 and by the puerto rican band circo in 2005) and Â¿a quiÃ©n le importa? (later covered by mexican musician thalÃ­a in 2002). in 1989 carlos berlanga left, and the band transformed once again, this time adopting the name of the american horror film magazine fangoria â they had already made clear their fascination with american z-movies with songs like "mi novio es un zombi" ("my boyfriend is a zombie") and "la rebeliÃ³n de los electrodomÃ©sticos" ("the household appliance rebellion"). with each name change, the band drove away from punk and embracing electronic pop, although strong guitars are normally present in their performances. since the birth of fangoria in 1990, alaska and nacho canut have recorded and launched several albums, always under the patterns of dance-pop electronica. fangoria have always admitted their influences, which sometimes are clearly reflected in their own songs. the pet shop boys, ramones, david bowie, michael jackson or pulp are some of their favourite artists. today fangoria remains as one of the most respected and acclaimed pop acts of spanish musical panorama. some of their best-known songs include "en la disneylandia del amor", "no sÃ© quÃ© me das", "eternamente inocente", "retorciendo palabras", "ni contigo ni sin ti" and "miro la vida pasar". mo
