  • Bio

    The band was formed in October of 2007 in Chile, with original members Benjamin "Kevin" Clarke (vocals), Juan Ignacio Garcia (guitar) and Javier Valenzuela (keyboards, bass guitar). Initially they came together as a cover band but soon they decided to assemble old musical ideas and incorporate new ones. After three years of writing and production, the band presented their first album in December 2010: "S.U.A.D."...a mixture of classic styles going through rock/pop/blues/funk, even reggae...all with an updated sound and today's touch. Early 2011 Javier returned to the U.S. to promote the project and assemble the team that would now be behind the music (Kevin and Juan are currently pursuing other careers). The lineup features a group of amazing musicians and great people consisting of former musical colleagues of Javier (Jay Rivera on bass and Binh "Austin" Ledinh on guitar) as well as of completely new and fortunate finds (Andrew Long on vocals and Pablo Eluchans on drums). The band is hitting the stages of the NYC area and surroundings, striving to spread the word as much as possible, while work on new music with contributions from the new members is already underway.

    La banda se forma a fines de 2007, cuando Javier vuelve de EEUU a Chile y se une a Juan, un viejo amigo y colega en la música. Juan introduce a la banda a "Kevin" (Benjamín), con quien participó en la obra de teatro "Jesucristo Superestrella", dándose cuenta de su talento como vocalista. Inicialmente se unen como banda de covers pero al poco tiempo deciden empezar a armar viejas ideas musicales y también incorporar nuevas.

    Dos años pasaron, componiendo y grabando maquetas caseras, con invitados especiales en batería: Jean-Phillipe O'Neill (desde Francia!), ex-colega de Javier en varios grupos en EEUU y Daniel Juricic, viejo amigo de colegio. El carácter bilingue de la banda, dado por Kevin (nacido en Inglaterra), les permite componer tanto en inglés como en español. A fines de 2009, con suficiente material para un primer disco, buscan productor para realizar el trabajo. Llegan al productor José Correa y el ingeniero en sonido Andrés Decinti (ambos de VNA Producciones). Andrés recluta a Felipe Candia, gran baterista de sesión para las baterías del disco.

    Luego de seis meses de producción, se presenta finalmente el primer disco de la banda: S.U.A.D.

    **********************************************

    The band was formed near the end of 2007, when Javier returned to Chile from the U.S. and joined Juan, an old friend and colleague in music. Juan introduced "Kevin" (Benjamin) to the band, with whom he had participated in the play "Jesus Christ Superstar", where he noticed Kevin's talent as a vocalist. Initially they came together as a cover band but soon they decided to assemble old musical ideas and incorporate new ones.

    Two years passed, writing and recording home-made demos, with special guests on drums: Jean-Phillipe O'Neill (remotely from France!), ex-colleague of Javier from different bands in the U.S. and Daniel Juricic, an old school friend. The band's bilingual attribute, given by Kevin (born in England), allows them to write in both English and Spanish. By the end of 2009, with enough material for a first album, they searched for a producer to do the job. They came across the producer Jose Correa and the sound engineer Andres Decinti (both from VNA Productions). Andres brought in Felipe Candia, great session drummer, for the drums on the album.

    After six months of production, the band finally presents their first album: S.U.A.D.
