Pauline en la Playa

Born in Gijón, these sisters began their musical career in the 1990s, in full swing of the so-called Xixón Sound. Leaders and composers of the female pop group Undershakers, they arrived at the well-known independent label Subterfuge in 1995. There they released three full-length albums and two mini CDs that would soon place the band among the most important of the Spanish independent movement of the time.

Álvarez sisters come into contact with other musical styles at the School of Creative Music in Madrid, where they studied harmony, composition and modern instruments. The sisters signed under the name Pauline en la Playa in 1999, and their first record at Subterfuge Records was Nothing like the Home. The excellent public and critical reception quickly consolidated the project and the Álvarez sisters haven't  looked back.
