Nazca is name of at least three different groups:
1. Altrock: Finnish-Norwegian indie band located in Helsinki. Active from 1998 onwards. Released two albums: “Biodegradable” and “Non Grata”, one EP: “Straight hope Tissue”, and a live DVD: “Free for All”. Official band site: http://www.songsfornazca.com/
Somewhere in between Joy Division, Syd Barrett and Dead Kennedys
2. Avant-garde progressive rock group: Now defunct, NAZCA started off in 1980 with Alejandro Sanchez and Carlo Nicolau who were later joined by three other musicians. All five boast classical music training as well as extensive experience with various bands and/or classical music orchestras. Their compositions, which are mostly a collective affair involving improvisation, mix an equal part of RIO, classical music, avant-garde classical and ethnic (as in Mayan/Aztec/ Inca). Although their music is fascinating and absolutely unique, their coming about in the early 80’s proved fatal to the band. As Sanchez once recounts in an interview, the local crowd wasn’t very receptive to anything that wasn’t pop or mainstream back then; he even recalls some concert goers literally walking out on them, visibly irritated as they thought the band were being intentionally provocative with their music. The lack of interest from both the public and the promoters finally prompted the band to split up in 1988. They had released two studio and one live album.
