Biography
SnapDragon is the joint effert of former Near Life Guitarist Juan Tapia and his wife, Natalie.
Juan and Natalie hope to deliver a sound that is modern, fresh and unique with a hint of nostalgia from the early Nineties.
Natalie is a talented visual artist with a love for gardening. Her influence gives SnapDragon it's name, melody and theme.
Juan, as mentioned above, had spent ~7 years with Near Life before the band officially threw the towel in. His role in Near Life was essential as main composer, just as in SnapDragon.
As for the sound; think Mirah, Florence & the Machine and Ani Defranco meets Guns N' Roses, Opeth and Divinity Destroyed.
