It is about Micky Rodriguezwho thus announced that will not be part of the shows on December 14 and 15 in La Plata. Hours later, the band responded: He denied his version and left the door open for him to join the concerts.
“Today I have a feeling of emptiness. Playing with Los Piojos again is something I dreamed of and sought for several years. Losing those dreams leaves me with a feeling of helplessness, as if a part of me had been left behind. However, in the midst of this sadness and disappointment, your affection, the respect of the people in the industry and colleagues, and the love of friends and family that acts as a calming agent, like a caress to the soul, appears strong,” Micky wrote on his Instagram account.
There, he said that “there will be time” to tell people his story and his silence in recent weeks and assured that He was excited like all the fans who were reading signs everywhere.
But that was a big disappointment: “They used my name without naming me. I was never informed of the creation of the official Los Piojos account, an account of which I do not know who the owner is, who manages its content, they never asked me what to publish, they only tagged me (I don’t know for what reason), I never uploaded, republished or liked any publication that has to do with a comeback. I found out through the networks, just like you, that there was a ‘return’if you can call it that. I found out through the networks that the place was going to be La Plata, I found out through the networks the dates.”

Miguel Ángel “Micky” Rodríguez was, from the moment the band split up, the one who He pulled the car more so that it would turn around from Los Piojos.

To be able to continue looking my daughters in the eyes, walking down the street knowing that I did not betray myself, that I did not betray Tavo’s memory, that I did not betray you and that I did not betray my lousy heart. Because beyond everything I am lousy until I die, and that is something that no one, even if they wanted to, will be able to get out of me.“, hill.

The band’s full message:
“15 years later, we meet again!!
We know that from the very beginning many souls hoped to gather again in one more lousy ritual. To share with their children who never experienced it, what they have tattooed on them. There are also those who, due to age or fate, were never able to experience it. Now and for a few months we will be able to enjoy it. The response to our call has been tremendous. We are surprised and mobilized. For us it will also be a unique experience. We will share the stage again with Ciro, Piti, Dani, Roger, Chucky and Chango. Plus Juan Ábalos (who tried out in 2008 and was not able to participate due to a schedule issue).
Tavo will be present, not only in the music and in our hearts, but also in the accompaniment of his daughter Lara.
Mickie – that’s what they wrote – came to all the meetings and was aware of everything; from the first moment. He assured that he was in. We will continue to wait for him.
The staff will include those who have historically worked with us, from Pocho as manager to friends who grew up assisting the band or doing sound, set-up, lights, etc. We can’t wait to get into a room and feel the songs again, playing in the hands and voices of those who played them for the first time. We are eager to meet you and hear the roar of your voices when the lights go out.
See you in December!
Earlier, Dani Buiraalso a founding member of the band and who accompanied Micky in his Ritual 87 project, made a post confirming his presence at the return of Los Piojos and leaving a phrase that resonated deeply and was read as a response to his partner: “Everyone is responsible for their actions”.
The last to respond was Piti, today leader of The flannel and a close friend of Micky, who did not hesitate to contradict the man whom he more than once said he considered a brother.
“Dear family, it pains me to tell you that Miguel ‘lies’“, wrote Daniel Fernández in a handwritten text that he shared on La Franela’s social media and that Ciro also shared on his Instagram.
Piti, in his message, denied that the bassist had not been summoned and assured that he himself was there “in all the meetings in front of Ciro, Pocho -the manager- and Miguel”He added that Los Piojos consult each other on everything, “from the release of the Vivo River 2009 album through the IG Los Piojos Oficial, to the 14th and 15th reunion,” contrary to what Micky had said in his complaint.
