NineCircus Dominican Rock Band

NineCircus

bio,

started out as a cover band in the mid 90s. In 2002 we decided to create our own music and have been perfecting it for 5 years now. At first we really were not sure where we were going with this. In time we soon found out that what we were making was music that we actually liked to listen ourselves. We are very proud to have created a sound of our own, and lyrics that speak from the heart. Our songs speak of our experiences as well as those of others others around us: Love and Hate, Deception and truth, SEX, Happiness and Sorrow, Hope and Dispair. We hope to be able to share our music with as many of you as possible. The band is from San Domingo in the Dominican Republic and cite bands like Creed, Matchbox 20 and Pearl Jam as their major influences. Lead vocalist Eliseo Alba certainly has that exact gritty vocal style and in Don’t Sell Out they have penned a swaggering ballade with all the anthemic trimmings that you’d expect from such a pedigree. They also manage to pull the sound off immaculately, delivering an upfront and powerful track that will swell the hearts of rock ballade fans with passion. " Powerfully produced Radio rock with a melodic punch" - Matchbox Radio 24.

NUX

At the rise of the new millennium, ex members of long disappeared Latin hard rock band “Phantom” decided to redirect their musical style and integrate new elements to their music. This change has generated a whole new concept: NUX... .. The band mastered their own musical style: hard rock mixed with industrial and electronic sound. This style of music was new and revolutionary for Dominican Republic... .. Anyway, these Latin Rockers decided to attempt their luck, leaving old protest songs behind, and created a new scene for sensuality and metaphor... .. From this major change came their first hit single “Súcubos” which has generated a steady buzz in the Dominican rock scene. Acceptance was such that they managed to air this song through local radio stations all over Santo Domingo... .. In 2004 they edit their first album, “Oxes” a compilation of well done arrangements, accurate vocals and interesting mixes. From this album four major hits topped the charts in rock radio stations in Santo Domingo: “S.A.D.O”, “Los Daños que Provocas”, “Máquina” and a remake of 1984.. Spanish band’s “La Unión” song “Lobo-Hombre en Paris”... .. 2005 was a year of many concerts, interviews and the release of their first video for the song “Los Daños que Provocas”... NUX decided to hit back the studio and start recording their second album. The result of 8 months of intense work was an album trying to explain the.. thin line that divides love from hate…“Equilibrio”... .. In November 2006 the band released “Equilibrio” with a concert in the Hard Rock Café Santo Domingo. As part of the show a new video was revealed for the song “Igual que Ayer”, and with great confidence the six members of the band harvested in one night the attention of a media thirsty for the unveiling of such well kept secret... .. After years of hard work, recognition finally pays of. In January 2007 NUX is the heaviest rock band ever to be nominated for “the most prestige award” in the Dominican Republic, the “Casandra Awards”... .... .. ..Spanish Bio.... .. La agrupación NUX se forma a mediados del año 2000 en Santo Domingo, Republica Dominica. La banda se caracterizó por mezclar el Hard Rock con música electrónica, revolucionando el esquema de producir música “Rock” en nuestro país, con letras llamativas enfocadas a la metáfora, la sensualidad y los sentimientos. .. .. En el 2003 lanzan el sencillo: “Lobo-Hombre en París” (Tributo al grupo español “La Unión”), el cual se convirtió de inmediato en un éxito radial, manteniéndose en la posición No. 1 por más de 7 semanas en varias emisoras. .. .. A este le siguieron otros éxitos tales como: “Maquina”, “Los Daños Que Provocas”, entre otros. .. .. En el 2004 ponen a circular en el mercado su primera producción discográfica titulada “OXES”, de la cual se extrajeron los sencillos que convirtió a NUX en la primera Banda Dominicana que se colocó 3 años consecutivos en la posición 1 de los listados anuales de Rock local de la emisora X-102, además de alcanzar las primeras posiciones en los listados de las demás emisoras del género rock a nivel nacional (Radio Listin 99.7 FM, La Nota Diferente 95.7 FM, entre otras). .. .. Sus presentaciones en vivo cargadas de mucha energía y un estilo musical intenso, le hicieron posicionarse como una de las bandas más importantes en nuestro país. .. .. Su imagen tomó un carácter importante, impactando al publico que asistía a los eventos, y con esto nace la iniciativa de llevar su música a lo visual, lo cual se concreta a principios del 2005 con la filmación de su primer video musical, del sencillo “Los Daños Que Provocas”. .. ..

Musica Rock Dominicana - La Historia

Dominican rock, (known as "Rock Dominicano" in Dominican Republic), is rock music created by Dominican groups and soloists. Originating in the 1980s with the start of Luis Dias band Transporte Urbano[1] , successful bands such as Tribu Del Sol, Toque Profundo and Tabu Tek began to emerge. Dominican rock is listened to by the youth of the Dominican Republic who have embraced the music, sometimes over merengue and bachata, two other very popular genres in the Dominican Republic, and most recently Puerto Rican reggaeton.

The styles of rock bands from the Dominican Republic differ greatly. Not only is there regular Spanish pop rock, there are also sub-genres such as alternative, punk, emo, and metal. Most songs are sung in Spanish, though some bands (like ALF, Mithril, NineCircus, and Mustache for instance) also sing in English.
