La Casa Azul (
label Elefant
.
The band virtually consists of five members (David, Virginia, Oscar, Clara and Sergio) who appear in the band's distinctive,
retro
music videos, though notably do not perform live; instead, Milkyway sings and plays the songs solo at concerts. Milkyway is in fact the sole performer on the records and uses the band "members" (who do not give interviews and whose last names have never been disclosed) in order to project an image. In 2007, when the video of their newest single "La revolución sexual" was released, it was announced that the five members (sometimes called androids) were going to be relegated to some dancing sequences while Milkyway took lead of the band.
Eurovision Song Contest 2008 bid
In 2008, La Casa Azul bid to represent Spain in the
MySpace altogether with the Spanish Broadcasting Television TVE
run a preselection event called Salvemos Eurovisión. More than 530 songs were submitted in which the Internet votes chose five of them and a professional judge the other five finalists. Irregularity was claimed on the Internet vote, in which "La revolución sexual" placed second. La Casa Azul finished third overall in the final.
