About Me

    A DOLPHIN is an original US/Belgian Rock band with an international flavor. Formed in January 2008 A DOLPHIN is a power trio. Frontman Aldo "the Pilot" Ortega (formerly of Time Edge, The Fuse) writes all the material, plays guitar, and works the microphone...Marc "Mr G" Goormans (formerly of DWCORK, Panicroom, Front Cut) drives it home with his inspired percussion...Corky "Cork" Schweizer (DWCORK, Panicroom, CorkElectric, RedDog) from Northern California, USA, holds it all together on bass.Together, they create a sound that takes us back to the '70s and '80s when Rock had some Roll to it...** A DOLPHIN was formed late January 2008, and, after 2 months of rehearsals, A Dolphin was ready to enter the battlefield of Rock. After opening Rock Affligem '08, A DOLPHIN performed 14 shows during Juli-August-Sept at various locations across Belgium.***A DOLPHIN won Cafe Arona's Rock Rally Contest in August 2008 and spent 2 days at High Performance Studio recording "Breaking Through" and "Head over Heals".****In August '08 A DOLPHIN was contacted by Versailles Records. The song "Make It Go Away" will appear on Rock Anthems II and is scheduled for USA release sometime Spring 2009.*****In October/November Cork was in Seattle and met up with several important music-industry icons.*In 2009 A DOLPHIN plans to be: --a regular opening act for one of Belgium's greatest Rock Band --to be on the bills of various Summer Festivals across Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands --performing in the US to promote their first release with Versailles Records.*Contact/booking info: +32494512699 [email protected]
