Well, their future looks pretty set in stone then... It’s funny watching them act all high and mighty just because they landed a spot on some quasi-YouTube Spanish charts; suddenly they're supposedly killing it on the tour circuit... not.
It’s pretty obvious that teenage girls around here are just way too obsessed with that slightly more Eastern-sounding music 😁
The real question you have to ask, though, is whether this supposedly "in-demand," "sensational" band has actually ever played a single live show.

It’s pretty fascinating how quickly they moved to cut that heavy guy loose, since he clearly wasn't vibing with the rest of the crew. 🤣
But honestly, the most impressive part has to be that music timeline. 🤣
He’s got the rhythm down, sure, but he just isn't a good drummer. 😬
Did they actually kick him out? If that’s the case, they just made the smartest career move possible. They probably finally realized he’s basically a liability who brings nothing but trouble to every single band he joins. It’s hard to wrap my head around them letting him go, though, since I always assumed he was the one running the whole show.
I don't have anything against his playing; he’s just your classic rock drummer with a solid hit behind the kit, nothing more. There are plenty of much worse players out there, but if he’s the kind of shady character who looks like he’d sell his own mother out for a quick buck, then yeah, that’s just how it is.
As someone already pointed out, this is just Sasa Macek’s band—the former drummer for Voodoo Lizards—along with a few others who all seem to follow the exact same playbook...
That playbook involves parents, hometown connections in Cleveland (political ties... sure!), and paying for PR so that news outlets suddenly start running these "sponsored ads" claiming they're "in high demand," wildly popular, or somehow topping the charts in Spain (when in reality, they're just talking about a random YouTube channel, lol). Then there's the paid YouTube clicks—though I assume people realize you can buy a million fake views for about a thousand bucks. It’s all one massive lie, just aggressive hype designed to trick people into jumping on the bandwagon...
It was more or less the same story with most of his previous bands: massive hype, a couple of shows, some paid international collaboration, then total failure... followed by a new project. This guy wants fame so badly that he's willing to do anything to get it (which is exactly why he fails, if you ask me), and I've personally heard how he's burned through plenty of people he worked with...
So, you're better off choosing to listen to and support REAL, SINCERE bands from around here, and there are plenty of them... rather than wasting time on these fake "projects," especially when they're driven by a dishonest and malicious individual like Macek...
