Clark is an arising band from Portela one of Lisbon’s neighbourhood. The beginning of their activities started around 1994, under the denomination of Taxi Driver.Their music is a crossing of Alternative Rock and Pop sung in English and Portuguese.They have got quite an experience performing on stage but share a history sometimes disturbed due to several changes in their name: Taxi Driver, Inocentes and Clark.Having signed with the major EMI Portugal certainly gave them some exposure but soon realised that little work was carried on to promote Inocentes debut album.Such happenings made them to reinforce their character and the will to pursue as a collective, which led them to embrace new challenges...
