El Otro Yo (The Other Me) is an Argentinean alternative rock band. They made their debut in the late '80s / early '90s, with a demo tape called Los Hijos de Alien, followed by Traka-Traka. Later on, the group successfully founded its own label, Besotico Records, thus sealing their independent personality. EOY is the independent group with the most albums recorded in the 1990s. The band shared tours and stages with bands such as Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Incubus, Yo La Tengo, Molotov, Café Tacuba, Todos Tus Muertos, Los Brujos, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Silverchair, Soda Stereo, Robi Draco Rosa, The Offspring and Placebo, among others. They have played extensively all over Latin American and the United States. El Otro Yo is the third band in the world (after Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead) to transform their official website into a social network, which is called Comunidad EOY.

At school, they played together in a band called Revolución, where they covered songs by Sumo, Virus and Miguel Mateos. Afterwards, Cristian formed his first punk rock band: Los Apáticos. Between 1986 and 1987, Cristian played in Los Apáticos and El Gregal, where Ricky Rúa (current EOY drummer) played drums; meanwhile María became part of groups such as Rebecca, whose drummer was also Ricky Rúa. Around those years, they decided to form a band together. Marifer had read a letter that French poet Arthur Rimbaud wrote when he was 16 and which stated “I Am Another” (“Je Suis Un Autre”); that phrase was imbedded in her memory during the formative years of the band. In January 1988, María told Cristian about the title of the poem, he rounded off the idea and thus El
