Band Members: Nuno [bass + drums + guitar]: Often pushed to the back like many musicians before him, Nuno thrives on his relative anonymity, but if you’re lucky (or unlucky!) enough to get him one-on-one with this multi-instrumentalist guy, you’ll find out that Nuno is the brains behind the Dream Youth machine! A lot of people says that he's just like Dave Grohl, although, he doesn't like Foo Fighters...(",)
Pedro [bass + synth]: Self-taught & possible the wild card of the band, Pedro enjoys his lifestyle like no one! Frequently seen in sexy nightspots listen to DJs, everyone (ok, not everyone!) loves Pedro for his killer style and ability to get drunk, play bass and wear sunglasses in a dark show all at once. Also, he's got amazing DJing capabilities...(",)
Samuel [guitar]: Also self-taugth, full of energy in his veins (no, he doesn't take drugs!) and well cultured due to a crazy intelligence, Samuel is also the nicest guy ever and always takes time out for everybody and for everything. He's also the best potential singer of the band due to his good english accent, mainly when just talking with his words rich in paradoxes & non-sense, absurd poetry...(",)
PS: If possible, they hope to have a SEXY FEMALE SINGER someday in the future...(",)
Influences: Nuno: "My influences are everything that I hear but I'm mostly influenced by metal stuff. I play in a band (Grupo Miragem) that plays portuguese pop music. That isn't the sound I like but I learned a lot in that band. I play live many times and I play songs different that what I'm used to, that helped me to understand music better and to expand my musical horizons. I like Dream Theater, Muse, The Haunted, Tool and in the past I liked Deftones, Korn or even Pearl Jam. All these bands, even those that I don't listen to anymore had influenced me in one way or another..."
Pedro: "I believe that we’re all capable of ear everything and that is perceptible on our journey as we get old. So, I focus on what can give me more joy of listening at the moment and ask what kind of music is that later. In a world where music is constantly evolving, so am I listen to this evolution. If you ask me now, I'm all into post-rock, electronic and minimal stuff, but I never forget my routes and all the bands that mold me to what I am today. Keep your mind open, that’s my philosophy..."
Samuel: "Well, to be honest I've to say that Sonic Youth are above everything! I really don't have words to describe my emotions when I'm listening to them! For me, they're the only band in the world that can do anything/everything they want and get away with it! I really can say that I suffer from a Sonic Youth Syndrome! However, with my youthian fellows I want to make post-rock because that style is a testament to music, one which states loudly and boldy, in ways truly unique to it's own, that music is an evolutionary movement, which will never die, but slowly grow into new plains that defy the realms of that which is labeled modern and standard..."
PS: Just take a look to our friends here and you'll see some of the influences. Well, we don't play like them because we don't know, but we just love listening to them!(",)
