Band Bio:

Sonic Pulsar started in 2000 with Hugo Flores and Carlos Mateus.

Hugo and Carlos met in school when they they were both living in Brussels, Belgium. They started playing the guitar together and by that time Hugo was already writing songs. They met in 1990, started playing guitar in 1993 and started Sonic Pulsar in 2001. In between, Hugo returned to Portugal in 1995, while Carlos went to England in 1996. Between 1996 and 2000, Hugo wrote some songs and finished 3 CDs, of which the last one, "Atlantis", was published by Fossil Records. Carlos contributed to this album with some lyrics. In August 2000, Carlos returned to Portugal to study for his Masters and in January 2001 they decided that they wanted to work together as a band, whilst not giving up Hugo's solo career. They started writing in February and finished this CD in December. They are very proud of what they´ve been able to accomplish by themselves.

Their mix of genres comes out very naturally and it is a combination of their musical influences. Recently Nuno Ferreira joined the project, and he'll play in the bass section. Nuno is also a great guitar player, however he wanted to expand his knowledge, and began playing the bass and having regular jazz lessons.
