The lead singer Adrián Rodríguez and the keyboardist Diego Tuñón initially decided to create a "new wave" style, which wouldn't follow the established Argentine music. The drummer Diego Castellano (Panza), Adrián's brother Diego Rodríguez (guitarist and lead singer), Mariano Domínguez as guitarist, and Gabriel Manelli as bassist are the first and last formation of the band. During some years, DJ Peggyn played with them, but he finally was expelled from the band because, as Adrián said, "No lo necesitábamos más y lo rajamos" ("We no longer needed him, and we sacked him").

Although the band has featured many styles throughout its various albums, after recording Jessico (2001), their recording label Dargelos Inc. decided to forget their past and begin a new career as a typical pop band. Some believe this to be a contradiction with their original tenets, and that Babasónicos has turned into a mainstream marketable band.

Their last record, Infame (2003), seems to be further evidence of their attempt to reach a broader audience at the expense of the band's originality and spunk.
