Saimons

Is a Pop/Rock band. Its music is inspired by the British New Wave, the Brit-Pop and the new Indie. Saimons was formed in March 2005 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It all began when Santiago and Sebastian after leaving their original band decided to start another one with Felipe, a high school classmate. Unlike most bands from Argentina the idea was to compose and perform in English. They needed a drummer, so they called their friend (Miguel), who had began lessons the year before. During the first months the band dedicated their time to composing and a few small appearances. At the end of that year they recorded a demo that was well received by the small, but devoted audience it was intended for. In 2006, the idea of being a serious band and the improvement in their music led to several appearances and a small but constant increase in followers. 2007 the band recorded a new six track demo and was followed by the first video clip (Hold my hand). Later that year the band realized that their music would more appreciated in English spoken countries. Due to this, they had a four month tour during 2008, visiting Palm Beach- Florida and Puerto Rico. 2009 Saimons is finishing recording their first full length album that will be released late March. This will be followed by a second tour to Palm Beach -Florida and open to the rest of the USA. Music Review Introducing Saimons: Felipe Campos (Vocals/Guitar), Santiago Diaz Bonilla (Guitar/Backing Vocals), Sebastian Menoyo (Bass) and Miguel Roibon (Drums). Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Saimons is the brainchild of Santiago and Sebastian. In 2005 they recruited their friends Felipe and Miguel; together they set out to present their songs in the English language, thus making them stand out from many of their fellow Argentinean bands and allowing Saimons´ music to be much more accessible. Over the year the band has managed to increase their audience figures. The first material from Saimons was unleashed at the end of 2005. Another demo was recorded 2 year later and their first video clip followed shortly afterwards – directed by Juan d´ Urbano – for the song ´Hold my Hand´. The quartet soon figured out that they needed to get their music reaching countries which were fluent in the English language; so last year the band spent four months touring in the areas of Palm Beach, Florida and Puerto Rico. Their sound in contemporary and packaged with a good dose of melody and spark, with flavors of pop, indie and rock seeping out throughout the songs. Judging by their music alone Saimons is a band who could go the distance. They are the kind of band who definitely have a place in the music scene and there is a much wider audience waiting out the ready to discover them.
