background / biography
Aficionado was formed in 2002 whem members all met up at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. Nick (singer) was set on starting a new project after his
previous band "Rome" had recently come to an end.
We went into playing with a "whatever happens happens" kind of attitude, but we all agreed that whatever it was that were going to do had to be something completely different than most other things that were going on in music today.
As time went on we picked up more and more progressive rock influence, listening almost exclusively to 70s rock bands like Yes, Kansas, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, and others in that genre. We began perfecting the "epic song" - writing songs, each one taking listeners on a separate journey in sound. Also, we never lost sight of our roots lying in hardcore and punk rock, and we never lost the desire to play agressive rock music.
We try to tour whenever we have the opportunity, although it's difficult with most of the members still attending college. but whenever there are breaks from school, we're on the road trying to get our name out there.
