The band is born at the beginning of the 90's, with a demo containing a few songs written and arranged by Cristiano Roversi and David Cremoni, which the Italian label Mellow Records soon after released as the first Moongardens album named Moonsadness. A few months later, Cris and David recorded with a different line up two covers for The first Italian tribute to Genesis. The chance of working on a full length album came with the "Brainstorm of Emptyness" sessions.This is the second official release under Mellow Records, but in many ways the first real Moongardens one. This cd has also seen the entrance of Massimiliano Sorrentini on drums and Ricki Tonco on vocals. Moreover, during this period, the band published a cover called "There Will be Time" by Osanna for The 70's Italian Progressive tribute album.After that, Moongarden went through a long period of inactivity, due to several personal troubles, and it took more than 4 years before Cristiano decided to start working hard on new material, actually giving new life to the project. Luca Palleschi joined the band as the new official vocalist, and a few months later the new album was ready. The Gates of Omega, third official release, represents so far the most complex and mature work produced by the band, and has obtained enthusiastic comments by both public and critics.Further to this last publication, Moongarden have finally set the basis for a more intense musical activity: , a successful series of concerts and live performances around Europe, a new label, Galileo records, and the fourth album Round Midnight.......Max Sorrentini and Luca left the band in 2005 for human and artistic divergences....after a year we finally find the new definetely line up with the singer Simone Baldini Tosi (he was the singer of the first album Moonsadness) and the drummer Maurizio Di Tollo.The new album called SONGS FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE is finally ready, with the artwork of the great cover artist Ed Unitsky....and the story goes on...
