Origins
Although the band never gave an official press release when Melon Diesel broke up in 2003, the reason given was that there was a difference in opinions concerning what language the song lyrics should be written in and the direction in which the band was moving in. Even though the news came as a shock to its fans, it seemed that the conflict of interest had been ongoing for some time. Shortly after Melon Diesel's dissolution, Ferro, Fa and Bugeja restarted their musical careers, performing various local concerts around Gibraltar by the name of No Eye Dear (in collaboration with another local band, Chango Mutney). After some time, the trio went on to develop their main project, which would become Taxi.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“Lucretius
Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
smiling carves dreams, bright cells
Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
—Katharine Hamnett (b. 1948)
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
