Primaluna are:
Michele Russo (bass/voice)
Vasco Simonti (guitar/voice)
Niccolo' Menichini (guitar/voice)
Lorenzo Iori (drums/voice).
The band was born in Montecatini T. (PT – Italy) in 2002.
The guys decide at once to put their artistic commitment into songwriting.
So Primaluna start hard work in the studio, which will be a very useful, basic and uniting experience.
The goal is to find simple melodies, refined arrangements to combine together with introspective lyrics, then an effective rhythm will do the rest.
Time is spent trying to prepare a good repertory which brings serious results, so the young musicians become extremely popular every time they perform.
Their inner strength is to be a true band where each element is a mainstay for the others.
All four of them have a real, deep love for music.
Since the end of 2004, the guys get ready to play in Italian pubs and discos, not only because of their mutual musical passion, but also to purchase and to upkeep better instruments and equipment.
This parallel activity has regularly continued till today.
Yet songwriting never stops.
Primaluna have a wide variety of songs nowadays; all of them are rigorously written and arranged by themselves.
