Friendship and music are what bring PRÓGONO together. Long time friends, bass player Luis Dias and guitarist Pedro Lopes, on this 20 year journey of music and friendship bring to life a dream, which has been dormant until now, to return to “the stage†creating the possibility of again forming a band.
Yes! Again! as both had already tried. Luis Dias (bass player) in the project TNV where in 1992 a single intituled “RAÇA†was recorded. Pedro Lopes (guitarist) participated in various garage band projects, never forgoing the objective of reaching the studios as well.
Whilst on this journey, Luis and Pedro met Henrique Neves (vocalist) who immediately became a good friend and companion in the exchange of music information.
Every Wednesday “Neves†(as he is better known) played his vast collection of CD’s for all to hear at a local bar in Torres Novas called “D. Sancho Iâ€. Nicknaming this special night “WedNevesDay†the fans increased and one in particular, João Martins (drummer) a former school colleague of “Neves†would not miss this night. João Martins (drummer), who at the time belonged to a band called “The Endâ€, which was at a terminal phase, seemed eager to start a new project.
It almost seemed coincidence, a guitarist, a bass player and a drummer, all available and famished to make music, but they were still missing a vocalist. At this time they all looked at “Neves†and said, “and you will sing!†he thought it was some kind of joke, as they all believed in his potential, except him. But there’s nothing like trying, and “Oh boy†did they ever exceed their own expectations.
There’s no doubt that Metal and Progressive Rock will be part of this project. So time to work as the dream is real and here to stay!
