1994, 13-year-old twins, Cesar and Ton Bar
Rabia, play live for their first time in Maryland,
United States. More precisely at Tilden Middle
School in Rockville, MD. where they went to
school. In 1996 the twins move to Buenos Aires
to continue with their high school and musical
studies. Influenced
by the outburst of the grunge scene in the
United States, they each started a rock
band separately and joined forces by late
1998 to form Pork with Cesar on vocals,
Ton on guitar and friends from school David
Ortiz on bass, Nino Conde on guitars, and
Paulo Torres on the drums.
However, being only 17, the band members
encountered differences in their efforts
to grow as a band and in 1999 the all parted
their ways voluntarily on the ground that
they would reunite once proper commitment
was derived onto the project.

By
2002 all the original band members were back
together rehearsing, and by the beginning
of 2003 they started a local tour with a demo
containing 4 original songs. The buzz soon
spread and the 1000 demo copies were sold
out in 3 months. This led to the recording
of a second demo including 7 new original
songs released only 10 months after. By 2004,
after touring through cities in the Buenos
Aires area, Pork was recognized as one the
most popular local bands, selling out clubs
and small theaters.
In 2005, the band decided it was time to start
recording their debut album. Followed by their
local success, some of Pork’s members
thought it best to continue with their album
in an “independent” manner whereas
other members thought that looking for a record
deal would be better. The band booked studio
time and began producing their album. Short
after, they decided that they needed to land
a record deal, so they left the studio. Several
offers came, but the band had always been
reluctant to sign and they were all soon disregarder.
To please fans, the band decided to put out
a final demo with cover solngs and play another
tour. Versions of songs like The Beatles’
“I Me Mine”, a Megadeth Medley,
and Sting’s “Englishman in New
York” called “Latinman in NY”
among other cover songs, gave proof of Pork’s
creativeness and openness to a broad spectrum
of music.

August 2006, Pork was invited to support American
band Fear Factory by company Icarus Music.
While on the gig, they met with renowned producer
Alejandro Taranto who immediately saw the
potential and international projection of
the band. Mr. Taranto offered the band to
record their debut album and they were signed
to TommyGun and Universal Music for its release.
The
recording of the album took place between
April and June 2007 at famous “Del
Cielito” Studio and was released in
2008 under the name of “Multiple Choice”.
Cesar explains that the chosen name has
to do with the music contained in the album.
-“We have always mingled with different
styles and influences, I love the song “Two
to Tango”, a true combination of Heavy
Rock and Tango”- The album also contains
two beautiful ballads: “Hazardous
Dangerous” and “Pretending”
which, together with tracks such as “Bloody
Mary” and “The Wake” with
heavy riffs and vocal harmony, reach out
to a wide variety of fans.
