Melquiades is many things; it's probably the name of thousands of individuals and it's also the name of a band born in 2017 somewhere between Lisbon and Setúbal, where they won a garage band contest followed by the release of an EP titled “Oyster Eggs”, whose single “Freakavoid!” received very positive reviews.
Post-rock, math and fusion went to the beach and became romantically involved with ethnic and latin music. References to cartoons and other audiovisual and literary details dance in environments that range from psychedelic to the simple swing of pop, through "songs" filled with epic moments that cover the entire spectrum of sensations.
After several appearances in festivals such as MIL, Party Sleep Repeat, Festival Impulso and Festival Paredes de Coura, the band is now presenting their debut album "Fountain of Shingle" (2022), recorded in HAUS Studios by Pedro Ferreira, which is a sonic take-off that takes their previous work in an inevitable cosmic direction.
