MAZES
MAZES Bio:

Mazes is founded by Alex, in January of 1997, at that point this was just an idea, a name and a couple of melodies. Afterwards Germes, an old friend joined the project in December of 1997, since half of the band was still missing, this just allowed a basic idea of the band, so Alex and Germes joined in a band with another friend of them, Juan José Rodríguez, this was just a band of friends with out any further projection called “Maniaco” (Maniac). They also called Extan an old school friend of Alex and Juan, and a friend of Juan, Julio Grijera. The band started to sound too good to be just a couple of friends jamming, so they started writing their own songs. After a short time Julio had to leave the band because he didn’t have enough time, it was another old school friend who took over the job Marcelo Carella. After a while the band reached a point where it couldn’t progress any more, what happened was that Juan was not really interested on making something serious of the band, so the “Maniaco Age” was over.
Because of the musical feeling and the friendship that grew between Alex, Germes with Extan, he was offered the job of Guitarist in Mazes, they also kept Marcelo on drums. And this is the point when the story of Mazes begins.
After 7 months of hard working, writing and practising, Mazes made its first live appearance at “Via Cerino”. Two months later, the band suffered their first loss; Marcelo had to be kicked out because of his lack of interest for the band, but played one last show on the “Sarmiento Rock Festival 2000” . Even though Mazes didn’t have a drummer they made a benefit unplugged. At this point a long period of 12 months searching for the new drummer began. Drummers that passed: 1- Darío Fisurín, who was in the band for just 2 months with out playing live. 2- Santiago Romero, who was in the band for 4 months and only played in the birthday party of Alex and Extan.
After this, Chuky was called to join the band, at this moment this started to have shape once again. The band made 4 live appearances in 1 month, Teatro del plata “Hard Rock Fest”, La Colorada, Teatro del plata “Heavy Metal Fest”, Mate Bar. After they played twice at Loca Bohemia.
During this period the band decided to change their country location, so they started recording their first CD (recordings took place at “El Laboratorio” studios), in order to arrive not empty handed. It took quite a while but when the record was finished everybody in the band except Alex decided for diferent reasons they were not leaving. So Alex accepted it was over and it was time to move on, he disbanded mazes and left alone to Barcelona, there he played and contributed in several bands. Two years have passed since and he suddenly decided that it was time to bring back Mazes to life! After all he was the one who formed the band once so he decided to give it another shot. So it took a while to find the right people since his old partners are all embarked in their own projects. But for now the band is starting from scratch so it will take a while to get there but lets hope this time it lasts!!
