Voices In Your Head

Adeus, Portugal...

About Me

The guitarless rock band Voices In Your Head are 1/2 Portuguese + 1/2 American. Mafalda and Jesse met while studying jazz in New York City. Shortly after relocating to Lisbon, Portugal, they began writing songs for what was to become VIYH. In January 2007 they will return to the us of a and record their first album and tour the hell out of it. Right now they are working on the songs for said album. Jesse's left hand has assumed bass duties, and Jesse's analog synth has assumed drum duties (just for now - the recording will have real drums and real harpsichord). Why do portuguese bands LOVE to advertise their shit on other bands' sites? lame
