Biography
It was back in 2005 when UK designer and songwriter Tony Oleksewycz came down to the city of Buenos Aires to visit his long time Prague friend, singer, guitarist and songwriter Martin Misenta.
Martin Misenta had been living in Prague during the 90’s and during those days he took part of several music projects, from which indie rock band DUCK had been the one he spent most of his time with. In DUCK he played with his friend, bass player Axel Eandi.
Back in Buenos Aires Oleksewycz, Misenta and Eandi started toying with the idea of gettting a band together and Atlantean Sparrows came as the right name, out of Misenta’s feelings of alienation and solitude, just like a migrant bird stranded in a strange land, never being able to make it back to his distant home. The sparrow is a bird that was implanted in Argentina by the european immigrants that came by the millions in the nineteenth century.
To make a long story short, they met keyboardist and stomp box designer Andrés Galeotti, and from their initial jam sessions came Atlantean Sparrows, their first LP.
Their debut album was a mixture of chaotic soundscapes, out of tune keyboards, psychedelic guitars, melancholic melodies and steady beats and basslines.
Although their first album was quite succesful in the underground scene they didn’t have intentions to make live appearances.
It wasn’t until their second album called How Are You, that they started looking for more musicians to turn into a full, live playing outfit. While How Are You was mellower than their first album, the band, now along with drummer Ariel Spangenthal, guitarist Sebi Oliwa and guitarist Uli Viola started playing at venues and parties, their shows remarcable for their ability to jam into great songs that would make their presentations go on for up to three hours.
Despite the initial favourable kick off, musical discrepancies started cracking the structure of the band and more or less after one year only Axel Eandi and Martin Misenta remained in the band. Tony Oleksewycz was in and out since he had to fly back to the UK to take care of his sick dad.
Nevertheless the story went on, with Misenta and Oleksewycz writing together across the Atlantic and it wasn’t long before they started working on their third album, now with guitarist, singer and songwriter Jerónimo González, who besides his solo performances, is also the guitarist of Argentina’s cult band UNOXUNO.
2008 found them rehearsing their new songs with drummer Hernán Bertrand from Poseidótica, recording, and opening their own studio: TOHOSOUND, in which several artists are producing or mastering their own projects.
In 2009 they came to offer live shows and in 2010 they recorded their third album "It's only the apocalypse, but I like it", but never was released in physical format.
After this, the band continues into hibernation ...
