About Me

[english] We see and we listen to what's in the air and we disagree with people that say everything has been already done. What we do sounds a lot different from some music and similar to other. Not above, not below... In a different perspective, which we don't know the name. Something with lyrics, some in portuguese, some in english, compositionally and formally thought-out, ferocious and solid playing, a rock with shinning guitars, mixed with a more melodic driven pop and a bit of progressive, all with an electronic frame. [portugues] Vemos e ouvimos o que por ai anda a passar e discordamos de quem diz que esta tudo feito. O que fazemos, soa diferente de muita coisa e mais parecido com outras. Nao acima, nao abaixo... Noutro referencial, que desconhecemos a denominacao. Algo com letras, umas em portugues, outras em ingles, sentido composicional e formal, ferocidade e solidez instrumental, um rock com guitarras a brilhar, entremeado com um pop com maior peso na melodia e um pouquinho de progressivo, alem de algumas electronicas.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 09/04/2006
Band Members: Jorge Garrelhas (guitar), Carlos Alegria (guitar), oscar marcelino da graca (voice, keyboards and electronics), Andre Barbosa (bass) and Joao Martins (drums).
Influences: [english] We don't deny influences. Each human being has an unique listening and analysing path that, even if unintended, will come out. There are groups we listen to, and which we like, because they either play or write/compose well, or our memory links them to good memories and experiences. Maybe Sting, Pain of Salvation, Tori Amos, Porcupine Tree, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Placebo, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Sigur Rs, besides all the jazz and classical music that is a part of our background... Not forgetting soundtracks! [portugues] Nao negamos influencias. Cada ser humano tem um percurso de ouvinte e analista unico que se demonstram, ainda que de forma inconsciente. Ha grupos que ouvimos e gostamos mais porque ou tocam bem, compoem bem ou porque a nossa memoria os associa a bons momentos. Porventura, Sting, Pain of Salvation, Tori Amos, Porcupine Tree, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Placebo, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Sigur Rs, alem de todo o jazz e musica classica que constituem partes do nosso background... Sem esquecer o cinema!
