MySpacea place for friends

The band received one more invitation from TPA2 to be part with other bands of an interview/debate about the rock scene on a TV show named "Tchilar". There were the following bands: NEBLINA, ESPETADA MISTA, 1516, MUTANTES.

On Monday 13th, NEBLINA was invited by the TV Show from TPA2 called flash. It happened in the same studio that they are preparing their 2nd album. It includes images of the band doing their rehearsal too.

2008 - On January 18th - friday, the band played on the "Kings Bar" by invitation. Nambi organised the gig and asked NEBLINA to play because they were away for quite some time due their studio recording of new album- the Untold. It was followed by and interview on the radio FM - Volume 10 on the 25th, to talk about the good reviews of their play at the gig.

NEBLINA was invited to be part of the WMF - A namibian festival for Metal heads which took place on the 19th of October.

The band had a quite good response from the crowd we could say that NEBLINA Fucking Rocked that night!!! There were also good bands from different countries such as "Conquest For Death"(USA), Submission (Namibia), D.O.G.(Namibia), Wrust (Botswana). See the link for more...

"THE UNTOLD", name of the next Neblina's album which is expected to be release next year (2008). The band started recording some songs already. IT WILL BE A BLAST!!!

In the middle 90's a great part of young students were admirers of a new international musical style in Angola, the rock style!!!... Mainly in Luanda for been the capital and react first to the radical changes of the external world. It was almost a fashion to know how to play guitar, to listen to rock and been a "rocker", motivating other student groups to join it and start their own bands.

In half of this decade, rock music was so spoken that live concerts were organized in schools arenas, theatres, etc. The most played music styles in the nightclubs were Techno and Pop Rock, which faded years later with the introduction of the International Hip Hop, in the beginning of 2000.

Due to the need of some of these students to continue abroad or overseas and Hip hop introduction in the market, the peak of the rock movement in Angola was having its bad times, but some continued swimming against the tide.

Some years later with the return of some of the same students, which had concluded school and gained more outside experience, which already started in Angola, decided to create something new.

Mauro Neb, one of the young guys placed in the context referred above, ex-member of an Angolan rock band called "Altruistas" and other Namibian bands such as " Velcro " decides with his return from Namibia - Windhoek in 2000 to start a new band but because the rock movement was much weaker; many of these people were disinterested for the music style.

Started again but as Solo man band at the time because it was really difficult for candidates to arrange solid members to frame in a band. The purpose of creating a full band later on but keeping the name "NEBLINA" as it was called.

He used to practice with other band, the 2HTOPV making small gigs in some bars of Luanda on this year.

Michel Fio was another young dude returned from his studies in South Africa-Cape town; ex-member of the Angolan rock bands such as " Metal Thumb " and " Acids ". He found himself in the same situation but he did play in some small concerts in bars throughout Luanda at the time including the gig organized for FILDA in 1999/2000.

One of those days, these two dudes were introduced and they decided to do something in common. After almost a year the band was counting with the inclusion of one more member Jair Amed, the bass guitarist, and had gigs from time to time inviting other bands which were starting at the time and some old ones like "Mumias".

Whole this time, the band was playing with the 2HTOPV drummer (Beethoven) and later on with Michel from "Mumias". Jair had to leave the band in the same year and was replaced by Dario Henriques, ex-Velcro member and also Mauro's brother and the project kept going on. Some months later, Dario also had to leave the band and go overseas. So the band invited Bokolo (ex-Faddy Daddy, a punk band) to join the team but he also joined them for a while because he went to live in Namibia for a while.

As time was running and because there was no incentive, part of the rock fans (bands) by not having any initiative spirit and enough experience in the field and musical style, the band stopped playing for almost two years without any activity.

In the beginning of the year of 2004, Mauro Neb and Michel Fio took the initiative of entering in studio but without success for technical reasons. By the year of 2005, the band were in studio, recording.

The CD was edited at Kriativa Studios and was presented on the January 27th at the RNA doorway to the " Music Angolan Hall "

This is the first Angolan rock band which ever recorded an album in the Angolan music history. Some bands were in studio recording demos but never reached at this point of launching an album.

This band designated by " NEBLNA" was formed in 2001, and since then have played live shows in bars (Bar U4, Flor da Se), night clubs (Palos, Mathieu) and Elinga Theatre, conquering with its own aggressive and melodic style the attention of a great part of the youth and showing them off their rock appearance.

" NEBLINA", as it is called, entered in studio in the beginning of January 2005, and after (10) ten months the album was prepared for launch. The title of the album is " Innocence Falls in Decay " and it was presented in the entrance of RNA on January 27, 2006.

The band also participated in some TV programs such as " Janela Aberta" and "Jovemania"; they also participated in some international shows made in Germany for Palanca?s football team in the World cup 06, in the cities of Hannover, Celle.

Beto (rhythm), Xamber (bass) and Toke E Esse (drums) were the last members, who entered the band to strengthen and mold the body of the band for a while, but unfortunately they had to leave the band for their personal matters.

The band has now Bokolo on the bass (once again) and Thiago on the drums as new members.

The band is working now 100% on a new album, which is planned to be release in January 2008.
