WE WANT YOU TO GLEAM
The GLEAM project began in 2003 in Italy. The present line-up is composed by:
Andrea Salerni (Voice, guitar, piano, keyboards)
Filippo Piazza (Guitar)
Davide Gozio (Bass guitar)
The group started out with rock/blues influences and then ventured on more progressive-rock music environments, filled with new sounds, with the long, creative and important contribution of drummer and friend Carlo "Bredof" Colombini. Between one live gig and the other around Northern Italy, the Gleam recorded 3 self-produced demos:
"Pàiza - The story so far Vol.I" (2003)
"Pàiza - The story so far Vol.II" (2004)
"The Big G - Four songs demo" (2005)
In december 2005, "Lip and Tremble" (Salerni/Colombini/Piazza/Gozio), the first real album, was finished. It's composed by 11 songs for a total of 58 minutes of music balancing between rock, pop, blues and psychedelic-rock. Only during 2005 the band held 15 live performances interrupted in July 2005 for the beginning of the recording of "Lip and Tremble" which was finished by December 2005. "Lip and Tremble" received quite a good amount of proposals for a production, but never serious and honest enough to convince: in other words, they were all basically meant to fuck us all and steal our money...
After a setting period, during which new songs were written, the band re-started with new drummer Luca Pontoglio in July 2006. After live performances, inspiring trips around the world (Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Portugal, USA, Sweden, France, Spain, Mexico, Kenya, Germany...) and constant rehearsals, tantalizing ideas for a new album arose, and the accomplishment is set by 2008.

with all the lines on her face"
