ENGLISH BIO - TANKE was formed in London in 2003 and shortly after relocated to Mexico City. In 2005 this dark latin alternative rock group released the track 'Guerra Lunar' on the Diablito Records compilation Vol. I to great critical and fan acclaim. In 2006 they made their debut with the self-titled album 'TANKE' on Diablito Records featuring the singles 'Simbiosis' and 'Casa Del Fantoche' which received airplay/TV rotation on 'Reactor 105.7FM', Telehit y MTV Mexico. They introduced their audiovisual expression with almost machine like beats and rhythms joined by hypnotic bass lines mixed up with melodic guitar lines which embraces rock, goth, punk, glam, as well as industrial and new wave elements. The track 'Intro' was later released on 'Muchachitos De Porra II' compilation (produced by Miguel Huidobro from Molotov) in 2007. By 2008 Tanke returned with their second full-length CD, 'CUIDAD', with Diablito Records and a joint venture with Warner Music Mexico distribution. Tanke's bandmembers and musical influences are from across Europe, Mexico and Latin America. Vocalist/guitarist DIEGO and bassist ETHER are Mexican, Backing vocalist/visualist BEE is German, SEBASTIAN (Drummer) is from Uruguay while new guitarist RICK hails from Puerto Rico. They portray a picture of the walk of Mexico City life with a colorful and lighter sound still keeping the melancholic feel and their male and female layered voices always seem to border on desperation and anxiety while forming a bridge between reality and the imaginary world of each being. ***** ESPANOL BIO - TANKE inicio en Londres en 2003 y poco despues se mudaron a la Cuidad de Mexico.
