One summer day in the year of 1997, Mario Luna and his long time high school friend Jose Solis decided to jam out and play Ska music. They got more friends together and created a musically diverse band using elements of Ska, Surf, and Rockabilly. By 1999 some of the band members left the band and the search was on for new members.
One day, while relaxing at a local pool hall, Juan Pulido was approached by Jose and Mario. Jose had previously met Juan at the clothing store where Juan worked. Jose and Mario mentioned to Juan that they liked his style and asked him to be the front–man for their new project. Juan, a writer at the time, thought this would be a good platform for his poetry, and agreed to sing with the band.
Now that the band had a singer, the next important band member to find was a drummer. Juan had remembered a very talented drummer that he went to high school with. Mikey was a drummer for South Gate High School Marching Band, where he gained his drumming skills and perfected his musical talent. Juan asked Mikey Ornelas if he would be interested in playing in the band. After playing many different musical styles, Mikey thought that Ska would be a good style to play, so he agreed to join the band.
By the end of 1999 Viernes 13 became a common name in the Los Angeles underground Ska scene. Viernes 13 was in such popular demand, that they decided to record their first Self-titled EP. They traded backyards and American Legion Halls for world known venues such as The Roxy Theater and The Whiskey A Go-go in Hollywood.
