Band Bio

Fusion, intensity and melody, blend the primary elements from this cohesive progressive rock band. RC2 brings the right amount of ingredients to take the style to a new ground, including rhythmic fusion elements along with the classic melodies.

RC2 was formed in Caracas, Venezuela (South America) during 1999 as a result of two events: the guts and heart to play the style of music that always ruled the soul of the band members, and Radio Clips dissolution. Radio Clip was an emblematic band that released four albums in Venezuela between 1988 and 1994, selling thousands of albums and concerts across the country.

Citing Marillion, Yes, Rush, Genesis and Camel as major influences: Felix Duque (vocals), Eduardo Benatar (drums), Arturo Torres (bass) and Demian Mejicano (guitar) contact Rafael Paz (keyboards) in order to work on what will be the perfect marriage of astonishing instrumentals and vocals that can mute any sound that is outside the melody.

The band, wrote in only two weeks what they foresaw would be the recording material for a demo. However, the project had to be called off when Arturo Torres left to live in the States for personal reasons.

The band came to a complete halt. Then, on December 1999, the four remaining members decided to take in Pedro Misle (bass player and Eduardo Benatars band mate in the rock band Luz Verde) and enliven the project, now officially under the RC2 name.

Two months later, they recorded their first three-song-demo which included: Nada (Nothing), Sombras (Shadows) and Gira la Tierra (The Earth Turns). The demo was presented to various connoisseurs of the genre and earned good notices.

During the year 2000, relying on the critics good reaction, they recorded two more demos. These were then presented to the prestigious French label Musea Records through Alexis Lope Bello, a talent scout who has introduced over the years the work of various Venezuelan bands to Musea. The response was overwhelming; the record label was determined to release RC2s first album.

After learning the news, the five musicians and producer Francisco Diaz entered a modern studio to begin recording the album in late 2001. By June 2002, the album was completed and the job of finding a cover art concept for the production began.

An excellent picture of a lunar eclipse taken and generously lent by Spanish photographer Juan Carlos Casado conveyed exactly what the band wanted to portray with their music.

After graphic designer Daniela Troconis gave the finishing touches, the artwork was ready and delivered to Musea. The first album was released June 2003 earning incredible reviews from progressive rock institutions and fans across the globe:

Un album hautement recommandable à tous les fans de rock progressif de style Marillion ou Rush Music in Belgium, http://www.musicinbelgium.net

The band moved to Barcelona, Spain in October 2004, again with four of the original members, their guitar player (Demian Mejicano) left the band to pursue a solo project. A new guitar player was brought in (Mauricio Berroeta) who has been a new force of inspiration to get a more straight forward and crude sound, taking their music to a new exciting level.

They are currently recording its second album, experimenting with new rhythmic fusions and organic sounds that will expand their melodic style to the limits of this limitless genre. The album is expected to be released next year; RC2 is touring across Spain and Europe. And just a final word of advice, you dont want to miss the live experience of this band; you havent seen Progressive Rock played like this
