History of the band started back in 2004 when two good school friends, Niki and Gallego, decided to start their own punk rock band following in the footsteps of their idols, Blink 182 and Sum 41. In the beginning it was hard going economically, and finding other band members interested in the same type of music was also very difficult in a country as small as Andorra, but eventually two more members were found, joined and completed their group: Cristian and Alejandro. The band has quickly gained recognition and is now well known around the country, and has played at various venues for example: In 2005 at the official concert to open the Mini Olympics celebrated in Andorra and later the same year at Dijousderock. ANONYMOUS has also been heard on the local and Spanish radio a few times and various articles have appeared in the local and Spanish press -La Vanguardia, El Periodic and Diari dAndorra. They created their own web page www.anonymouspunkrock.com and started offering merchandise for the moment badges and stickers; T-shirts to come soon. Having seen their growing popularity (they have a large following wherever they play) and the increasing demand for their music in Spain as well as Andorra, they have just finished recording their first demo CD at Orion Studios, Andorra la Vella, and are actively looking to sign up with a record label who sees the potential in their music. Anonymous are: NIKI FRANCESCA (Niki 18) : Vocals, guitar ALEJANDRO MARTINEZ (Potter 19) : Guitar, backing vocals GUILLEM GALLEGO (Gallego 19) : Drums CRISTIAN NARVAEZ (Hippy 16) : Bass, backing vocals - won't take part in Eurovision as national selection rules require participants to be older 18 years.	История группы началась в 2004 году, когда два школьных товарища Ники и Галлего, решили создать собственную панк-рок группу, следуя по стопам своих идолов Blink 182 и Sum 41. Группа сразу же столкнулась с несколькими проблемами - экономической, и поиском в маленькой Андорре других участников группы, заинтересованных в музыке такого же стиле - но все-таки два новых участника группы были найдены и вошли в ее состав: Кристиан (позже покинувший группу) и Алехандро. Группа сразу же приобрела известности и в настоящее время популярна в своей стране, она выступала на различных концертных площадках, например - на открытии Мини олимпиаде в Андорре и на фестивале Dijousderock. Anonymous также ротировались на местном и испанском радио, а также о них публиковались статьи в испанской прессе - La Vanguardia, El Periodic и Diari d'Andorra. Группа создает собственный сайт www.anonymouspunkrock.com и открывает при нем интернет магазин, продавая значки и стикеры, в ближайшем будущем и майки с символикой группы. Недавно группа завершила запись своего первого демо альбома на студии Орион в Андорре-Ла-Велье, и сейчас ищет лейбл, который бы увидел потенциал в их музыке. В состав группы входят: NIKI FRANCESCA (Niki 18) : Вокал, гитара ALEJANDRO MARTINEZ (Potter 19) : Гитара, бэк-вокал GUILLEM GALLEGO (Gallego 19) : Барабаны CRISTIAN NARVAEZ (Hippy 16) : Басс, бэк-вокал - не примет участия в Евровидении, поскольку национальные правила не допускают участников младше 18 лет.

Punk rock band Anonymous will represent Andorra at Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with song "Salvem el mon" (Save The World)	Панк-рок группа Anonymous представит Андорру на Евровидении 2007 с композицией "Salvem el mon" (Save the world).
Salvem el mon (Let’s Save the World) is the song that the Anonymous will be presenting to represent Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest. The band wrote this composition with the idea of entering it for the Song Contest. It is a punk rock theme with many guitars in the style of Greenday and Blink 142, two bands in which the Anonymous have found their inspiration. The lyrics are a call to the young of their own generation to take an active role in protecting the planet. Andorra’s candidates for Eurovision will be first seen on Andorra Television on the 1st of March, 2007. The date has already been released for the special live television program that Andorra TV broadcast every year. The show will be broadcast on the forthcoming 1st of March live from Sant Julia de Loria. During the show we will hear Anonymous version of their Eurovision song for the first time as well as the participation of several other well known artists. The prestigious voice trainer Helen Rowson will be the instructor of the band for the upcoming Eurovision song contest. The three members of the band were introduced to Helen last week and they will be working together throughout several work sessions. Helen Rowson was also the voice trainer for Marian Van de Wal and Jenny, representatives for Andorra in the last two Eurovision editions. Helen became very well known due to her work in the first editions of the popular television program “Operacio'n Triumfo”, Spain’s homegrown version of Pop Stars.	Salvem el Mon (Спасем мир) - это песня, которую группа Anonymous подготовила для конкурса Евровидение 2007. Она была написана специально для этого соревнования. Это композиция в стиле панк-рок, с множеством гитар в стиле Greenday и Blink 143, двух групп, которые являются вдохновением для Anonymous. Текст композиции призывает молодежь принять активную роль в защите своей планеты. Впервые песня будет презентована на концерте 1го марта, он будет показан в прямом эфире на телевидении Андорры. Помимо Anonymous на этом концерте выступят и ряд других артистов. Anonymous начали занятия с тренером по вокалу Хелен Роусон, которая также готовила к конкурсу Marian Van de Wal и Jenny, представителей Андорры прошлых лет. Хелен стала очень известной после работы в первых выпусках популярного телешоу "Операция Триумф", которое выбирало испанских участников Евровидения.
