Porcupine Tree

Porcupine Tree

Porcupine Tree is a 21 year old experimental rock band from Hertforshire, England.

The band started in 1987 as a colaborative proyect between Steven Wilson & Malcolm Stocks who inspired in bands as Pink Floyd wich predominated the music scene during their youth, they created this band where everything from its members  to it´s history was fictitious, as Wilson started earning money to own he´s own recording studio he started thinking of comercializing his proyects music and recorded an 80 minutes cassette named “Tarquin´s Seaweed Farm” Under the name of Porcupine Tree. As a way to continue with his joke, Wilson added an 8 page booklet  wich contained invented info of the bands story and fictitous members such as Sir Tarquin Underspoon.

Over the years the band style has shifted from psichedelyc pop or sweet accustic balads to heavy metal , all mixed up with an incredible sence of taste making every song very diferent to the other and as a plus in their live shows they use a couple of screens in the background showing werid trippy images that perfectly dance to the rithm of the tree.

Kiss

Kiss.

Formed in 1973, this band doesen´t need an introduction, innovating with a theatrical on stage performance that features, kabuki type make up, smoking guitars, glitter and fire kiss has been rocking all these years. they earned at least 24 gold albums throuth all these years. despite  they almost desappeared during the last part of the 80´s, they got back to the spotlight in the 90´s when people started feeling nostalgic about them and started considering them as clasic band. in 1995 they rocked Mtv´s live studio With an unexpectedly unmasked acustic show wich ended up selling out!.

If I´m well informed, they are starting a new tour at sometime of this year, so if you like rock n roll and never seen this bands live performance, I totally recomend you to grab your money a go get some tickets cause this is a band that you can´t miss.
