EL SUEÑO DE MI VIDA

When Cola Jet Set formed in late 1999—just as Los Fresones Rebeldes bowed out—they picked up the torch of Spain’s sunniest, most unselfconscious pop. Founders Felipe (guitar) and Aarón (bass) recruited Ana (lead vocals, keys) within two months, and by 2002 their demo tracks “Cosas Que No Se Olvidan” and “Quiéreme” were hailed as Demo of the Year by national radio, sparking clamors for an official release. That spring they headlined RNE‑3’s Flor de Pasión showcase in Madrid—days before Felipe and Ana’s wedding—earning ecstatic reviews alongside Niza and Souvenir. Their self‑released debut single (“Cosas Que No Se Olvidan” / “Canción de Luna” / “Acabar Bonito”), produced by Guille Milkyway, sold out its initial run, while a summer festival tour—including Lemon Pop and Lemon Pop Murcia—further cemented their reputation for irresistible, dance‑floor–ready melodies. In 2004, Cola Jet Set elevated their craft on Contando Historias, a debut LP that welded surf guitars, disco grooves, punk punch, and Motown flair into an exhilarating pop cocktail. Lead single “Quiéreme” became a radio staple and its video won Best Clip at Málaga’s IV Short Film Competition. Press outlets from Alta Fidelidad to Surfer Rosa placed the album among the year’s finest, and packed festival appearances (Easy Pop Weekend, Plastidepop) confirmed their status as Spain’s new benchmark for upbeat, endlessly optimistic pop.
