Tangerine Circus for Prog Metal/Rock

Tangerine Circus is a Mexican four-man band:  Eduardo Mariné (keyboards and vocals), Francesc Messeguer (guitar and vocals), Luis Mauricio Sánchez (bass and vocals) and Daniel Hernández Mateos (drums and vocals).

The band has not an exact moment of foundation, but it started to be what it is now in 2009 when Urania —the first album of the band— was written and recorded as a demo/debut album. After a crucial moment in which the band had a change in its formation, Tangerine Circus reached its actual line up in December of that same year.

One of the most important and defining characteristic of the band is the good relationship and the unbreakable friendship between all members. They all have known each other for a long time, and they also grew up (personally and musically) together. Despite all the difficulties that the group has faced, all members have always stuck together. 

There were a lot of attempts to find a fifth member: a singer. But they were not been able to find someone ideal for the band. None of the singers they worked with was able to connect with them in a musical way. So they discovered that the peculiar dynamic of the band led them to only one solution: remain being four members and handling themselves the singing.

The band has as a lot of influences because every member listens to different genres and artists, nevertheless, the most relevant bands would be:  Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Rush, Transatlantic, Moon Safari, Marilion, Iron Maiden, King Crimson, Steven Wilson, Yes.
