It was a Spanish group formed in the beginning by Xavier Font, Luis Font, Manuel Arjona and Gard Passchier, subsequently incorporating Carlos Armas, Juan Antonio Fuentes, Francesc Picas and Santos Blanco.

It became very famous thanks to the management of the fans that complemented rather elaborate costumes.

In 1992 they separated but evolved into a new group with new members, similar to the Puerto Rican group Menudo. A year later reappear on the music scene, but getting no event be or at least, dissolve completely.

When they were at their highest peak of success, there are large differences with his manager, Jose Luis Gil, who files suit over ownership of the mark Loco Mia. Xavier Font and Luis Balaguer decide to bear the legal dispute, but the demand made it impossible for them as a group, leading the group in 1993 put an end to his career and each member decides to continue its path independently.

The separation of Loco Mia is used by Gil to create another formation, composed of Luis Font, Frank Romero, Pablo Antonio Albella and Robledo, who recorded a new LP called Party Time. This new concept is not convincing to the fans, so much so that tips them multiple attacks. Years later, the lawsuit is resolved in favor of Xavier Font, and members of their current contract is terminated, then going with more pain than glory to musical history.

The proceedings of Loco Mia II were minimal, to participate in a disc with the Spanish singer Polo Encarnita entitled they stop crying. Frank Romero left the group and was replaced by San Balibrea. His farewell concert was in the Madrid Amusement Park.

He has a few gems of the folk music of the 1960s, as the standard “If I Were A Carpenter”, known to the general public in France, through the acquisition of Johnny Hallyday , or “Reason to Believe”. And a handful of albums without wrinkles.

Contrary to what one may say, the musician is not a descendant of John Wesley Hardin, outlaw of the nineteenth century, which inspired the album namesake of Bob Dylan. The son of a classical musician, Tim Hardin led a troubled teenager and left school at 18 without any qualifications to join the Marine Corps, U.S. Army.

He moved to New York in 1961, thinking training at the Academy of Dramatic Arts, but starved of discipline, he spends more time learning the guitar and perform in bars in Greenwich Village in New York , then to Boston.

In the early sixties, his repertoire is mainly composed of standards and blues compositions.

Clinging to a dream
For her first album, Tim Hardin I who was born in 1966, he wrote texts, more elaborate and poetic, sometimes tragic stories for which he draws upon his own injuries, his addiction to drugs is already a reality. This album, released on Verve Forecast, is reworked from the “trials” made for Columbia, it contains what is considered the first success of Tim, “Hang on to a Dream”. With titles like “Reason to Believe” the songwriter marks the kind of folk style, his signature. After the traditional blues, the desperate voice of Hardin then explores various registers, mixing, country, pop, folk and even pure jazz. In 1965, he met Susan Yardley, who becomes his wife (whose real name is Susan Yardley Morss, that place is it intended that Tim composed the songs for a certain Susan Moore), their son, Damion was born in 1967.

If I Were a Carpenter
It’s home in Los Angeles, he performs only the songs on Tim Hardin II, arranger and producer of the disc immediately bet on the song “If I Were a Carpenter”, which becomes upon its release in 1967, a massive hit. A standard, as Bobby Darin, singer of the most popular variety in the United States in those years, in a recovery, after having heard it.

Although Hardin admitted to be first out of his car furious (enraged by violins and other pop arrangements, far from his taste) at the first hearing of the recovery, it is certain that the version of Darin made an unexpected publicity to the creator of the song, which became a major reference folk in 1967. However, Tim Hardin does not take advantage of this wave of success: it fails to overcome his stage fright and concerts, poor quality compared to its statute, are shrinking.

Premature end
While this second album could have been a huge success, the singer is able to defend properly and ends up being fired by her record company, who can no longer count on him. A new manager, Steve Paul, nevertheless managed to recreate a jazz band, around the guitar Hardin. A formation that seems to satisfy the point of releasing a live album in 1968 Tim Hardin III. They all participate in the Woodstock festival in 1969, then accompany Richie Haven tour. To his wife Susan, he wrote a beautiful song, “Lady Came From Baltimore” and, to their separation in 1969, the disc Suite For Susan Moore And Damion. Then, his health deteriorated very quickly.
