Viejas Locas es una banda argentina de rock formada en Buenos Aires en 1989. La agrupación se gestó en el barrio de Lugano, un área marcada por la marginación y la lucha diaria. La banda estuvo fundada por el cantante Cristian "Pity" Álvarez, el guitarrista Jorge "Jordi" Rossi, el bajista Bachi y el baterista Fachi. Desde el inicio, Viejas Locas destacó por su actitud irreverente, letras crudas y una propuesta sonora que combinaba rock, blues y punk.
En sus primeros años, Viejas Locas tocó en pequeños bares y clubes de Buenos Aires, construyendo una base de seguidores fieles gracias a su energía en vivo y letras que resonaban con el público juvenil. En 1993, la banda lanzó su álbum debut homónimo, "Viejas Locas", de manera independiente. Este trabajo logró atraer la atención del público y la crítica, destacando temas como "Intoxicado" y "Lo artesanal", que reflejaban la vida en los barrios bajos y la lucha contra la adversidad.
En 1996, Viejas Locas lanzó su segundo álbum, "Hermanos de Sangre", que confirmó su lugar en el panorama del rock argentino. Este disco incluyó éxitos como "Perra", "Lo artesanal" y "Me gustas mucho", consolidando su sonido característico y ganando numerosos seguidores en todo el país.
El tercer álbum de estudio, "Especial", vio la luz en 1999 y cargó con la presión de mantener la calidad de sus predecesores. Lo logró con creces, gracias a temas como "Homero" y "Todo

Shasta Song Lyrics
Shasta by Viejas Locas So far so good
You're coming to the bend at the end of the road
You put a hand to the belly that's foreign more
With every day like an oversize load
And you're thinking about clouds the color of fire
And the scent of an orange peel
The way Mt. Shasta explodes into windshield view
And your hands steady on the wheel
So far so good
Coffee motel coffee diner coffee go on
Styrofoam is drying like the tears that once did flow
Starting 10 o'clock and ending at dawn
And you can't go back but you're going back
And you don't know what you'll say
You've got half-formed sentences
Explanations for a life half-broken away
And they just may
They'll take you in their arms and then take out their knives
So you drive on thinking
So far so good
But you can't go on much longer like this you know
You're all alone in this world no that's not true
The nice Christian lady told you so
She was handing out pamphlets by the clinic door
Saying "Jesus knows what you've been through
Take the Savior into your heart my child
There's love waiting for the both of you"
Well you don't believe but you have to believe
It's still crumpled there in your back seat
Were you the hero or the worst kind of coward back there
Putting pavement back under your feet
Couldn't stand the heat
Couldn't stand the thought of ghosts with a negative age
Turn the page
OK
So far so good
You try to sing along to the radio
But it's not your language not your song
It's from some other time ago
And you're thinking about how someone died that day
The you that was so carefully planned
But then again maybe this life is like a sleeping mountain
Waking up to shape the land
Calm calm let it come let it come back to you
Calm calm breathe on out you know you know what to do
