Las Ultrasónicas is a Mexican feminist rock and punk band formed in 1996. Drummer Jenny Bombo with Tere Farfissa started the band which they spent
several singers, guitarists and bass players, until Suzy Vox (vocals),
Jessy Bulbo (bass) and Ali Gua Gua (guitar) came. They begin to play as a
quintet, until Tere leaves in 1997 and stay as a quartet with that
lineup in 1998. In 2002, Jenny Bombo stays in drums and vocals, Jessy Bulbo in bass and vocals, and Ali Gua Gua in guitar and vocals.
Motivated to create an all-female band, among their initial influences were Mexican all female bands like Loba and the sound of bands like The Sonics and The Kingsmen, based on rock, rock and roll, garage rock, surf, and punk; the influence of the riot grrrl movement with lyrics that were openly libertarian, confrontational, and sexually explicit in a style that challenged gender roles, the sexual objectification of women in rock, and femininity. The band was a success on the local independent scene and their songs and stage attitude would bring them notoriety in Mexico.
In 1996 they recorded a demo of what would later be their album "Yo fui una adolescente terrosatánica" released in 2000 was recorded in two days. The concept of the album was influenced by science fiction and presented the group as extraterrestrial and space beings, taking advantage of these metaphors to criticize aspects of the lack of space for rock.This album included hits such as "Vente en mi boca" (a surfing song that refers to oral sex inspired by "Come into my mouth" by Thee Headcoatees) "Quiero ser tu perra" (Iggy Pop's cover) and "Monstruo verde", a song that was included in Marise Sistach's film Perfume de violetas, released in 1997. After this album the band took a break. In 2002, in recognition of their talent, the musician and producer Alejandro Marcovich called on them to record an album on the Sony Music Discos Termita sub-label, thus releasing the album Oh si más, más from which the hit single "Qué grosero" emerged. Because of its explicit language, the group edited some of the censored songs to be broadcast in the Mexican media.The members and ex-members would narrate that in this album the over-intervention of producer Marcovich in the band's decisions would cause irreconcilable internal conflicts that led to the departure of Jessy Bulbo from the band in 2002, who embarked on a solo career.
In 2008 they released the album Corazón rocker, which included songs like "El rock de la pájara Peggy" and "Ñero".
