Los Dug Dug's are a Mexican rock group which started off in the early sixties as a high school band called Xippos Rock, with members Roberto Miranda and Moises Munoz. In 1964 Xippos Rock began a road trip from Durango to Tijuana and halfway through the trip,in the city of Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the name was changed to Los Dug Dug's, an abbreviation of the band's native city and state. Once the band had arrived at Tijuana they commenced their ascent of Mexican Rock, soon landing a regular gig at Mike's Bar, where they firmly established their reputation. At this time they also did some gigs across the border in the USA where they picked up the latest sounds to take back to Mexico with them. In this way they brought The Beatles' music to Mexico, being the first band to play their songs in Mexico. At the same time they became the first band in Mexico to sing their own songs, as well as the songs of other bands in English, thus breaking what had been a rule in Mexican rock up till then.
