Dorian (Spanish band)

Belly Hernández (piano, synthesizers, arrangements) Bart Sanz (bass) Victor López (drums) Dorian is a Spanish band from Barcelona which was formed in 2004.

The band was formed by Marc Gili (main composer and lyricist), Belly Hernández (piano, synthesizers, arrangements and vocals) and Bart Sanz (bass).

In recent years, some of their songs like Cualquier otra parte, Paraísos artificiales and La tormenta de arena have become hits and have received millions of views in YouTube.

That is why some of the earliest influences of the band were groups like Radio Futura, Nacha Pop, Aviador Dro, New Order, The Cure, The Chameleons, Dntel and The Postal Service.

In 2007, Dorian released El futuro no es de nadie, reinforcing its indie musical style composed of electronic melodies, and poetic and politically motivated lyrics, the anthem of which is the successful single "Cualquier otra parte", turned into a generational hymn in Spain the importance of which has now reached countries like Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Argentina.

After an extensive tour that brought them for the first time to Canada, Argentina and Chile, Dorian ended 2009 with fourteen consecutive hits in Spain and three well-attended concerts in Mexico, in which they accompanied Zoé and Café Tacvba, two of the most important bands of the Aztec scene.

In 2010 Dorian did a joint tour of Spain with Love of Lesbian and continued to visit Mexico, a country in which the band is widely valued and ended up spending much of 2012.

Los amigos que perdí, the first single from La velocidad del vacío, was voted by the musical press of Spain, Mexico and Colombia as one of the best songs of 2013.

It's an unplugged album in which the band reinvented in an acoustic key some of their most iconic themes, such as Cualquier otra parte, Verte amanecer, El temblor, Los amigos que perdí and La tormenta de arena.

They recently released the video of the other version included in Diez años y un día, starring the prestigious actors Daniel Brühl (Inglorious Bastards, Good Bye, Lenin!, Rush, Captain America: Civil War) and Maria Valverde (Three Meters above the sky, Exodus, now or never).

Directed in quality film by Alexandre Tregón, the video shows the origin of an infectious love between both protagonists, who are found again through the music of Dorian after a separation.
