These guys have actually been around since 1990, with several line-up changes along the way.
 
They have a facebook: https://www.facebook.com/margaritas.ante.porcos.riga, albeit with only one 'like'...From where the following biography (roughly translated by google from the Russian text) is taken:
 
"1990-1999: basis.
 
Zurab, Alexei Bolotov (drums) and Andrew Pekinar (bass) create prog trio. The program does give several concerts in Riga and Salaspils. Write "Shizu," which falls into the rotation SWH-Rock.
Andrew throws music.
 
1999-2002: cover-band.
 
Igor comes Makushev. Making a program of ~ 30 covers from Led Zeppelin to King Crimson and Faith no More. We stand by the Paris Club, in Madona and Krāslava.
Igor kicks out.
 
2003-2005: remember everything.
 
In place of Igor Anton Medvedev arrives. Restoring the program of the first composition. Ends with "And do not try, my dear!" We stand by the Paris Club on "Sinepes un Medusё2004" on "Proguary`2005". Anton throws group. For him music throws Alex.
 
2005-2007: reboot.
 
Come Dmitry Lysenko (bass) and Pavel Terekhov (drums). Speakers at Proguary`2006, working on a new program. Write instrumental "forgotten formula". Dima is leaving to study in England.
 
2007-2014: Per Aspera Ad Astra.
 
In place of Dima comes Deacon Denis. Working on new material. We stand in the House of Congress with a new instrumental "Wheel of Time". Record an album with the material, combining all periods of the band (except covers)."

- Zurab Pirtshalayshvili / vocals, guitar
- Pavel Terekhov / drums, xylophone
- Dennis Deacon / bass
 
Much of this music has a JR/F feel about it to these ears, but since Scott (Evolver) is on both teams it will surely find its proper home once it gets taken downstairs into the dark caverns that lie beneath this forum... Smile
