Cirse (band)

2003-2009: Early work

Cirse was founded in Adrogué near Argentina's capital Buenos Aires in 2003 by vocalist Luciana Segovia and brothers Gabriel (Guitar) and Sebastián Leopardi (Bass). Short time after founding the band Luisao Fernández joined the trio as drummer. The musicians started writing for material for a first demo release which was never going to be released because the band was completed in 2004.

Together with Cesar Andino from Cabezones the group worked on an EP which was finally released in 2006. The EP Algo Quedará was self-released. Andino decided to work with the band again for their first full album which the musicians accepted. The band covered the Luis Alberto Spinetta's song "Alma De Diamante" which was featured on their debut album. Bi-Polar, the debut album, was released on December 14, 2007 nationwide. The band filmed a music video for their song Muy Tarde which got airtime at MTV, MuchMusic and national music television channel CM.

2009-2013: Imaginario

Pastore who joined the group in 2009 died surprisingly during the work on the new record in 2010. The band recruited Diego Lucas as new drummer.

Listeners of radio station FM Rock & Pop voted Cirse as winner of Bombardeo del Demo so the group was allowed to share stage with national well-known band Catupecu Machu at Teatro Colegiales in Buenos Aires. After a summer tour the band was asked to be opener for Paramore at their show in Buenos Aires at Luna Park on February 24, 2011. This concert was part of the Brand New Eyes World Tour.
