Settevite

When someone loves Rock as much as we do, the only thing left to do is to "venerate" this kind of music and its lifestyle. Since the teen-ager age everything has been influenced by our myths and idols that were not soccer players or actors, but musicians. To love Rock means being part of a big family, believing in something different, behaving in a specific way... Well it's hard to express, only those who are part of it and have grown up with these feelings are able to understand this way of life. Attitude is the magic word that we'll always repeat: rock attitude..you have it.. or you don't even know what it is!!!!
Settevite is a family with Rock Attitude..
In 1993 we're five friends that one day decide to start a band. Listening to our favourite artist it's not enough anymore, our biggest dream is to try to "be" like them.. at that time there was Max (also known as "il gattone") at the drums. He will give the hint to find the name of the band. After some time it's Luca (guitar), Valerio (new drums) and Lella turn to become part of the band. Together with Ste and Jan we are ready to start our adventure!
The beginning it's not that easy but it's one of the happiest part of our lives: rehearsals, alcohols and gigs.. sacrifices seem to be insignificant when you're having good time with your friends!
In 1995 we meet Tommy Massara (Extrema guitar player); he listens to some of our songs and seems to appreciate them. We start working together at the first version of "Un buon giorno per morire", produced by Tommy Massara.
In 1996 we record our first album: "Settevite", produced once again by Tommy Massara together with Fabrizio Simoncioni (Ligabue's keyboard player).
In 1997: the record is out.. from now on things get better and better!! We release two video clips: "Il Sole" and "Un buon giorno per morire" directed by Francesco Fei and a third video made of live concert material: "Latte e Sangue".
The music channels start to broadcast the videos and the radio network as well.
We are given the honour to open Ligabue's concert in San Siro Stadium and to close U2 show in Reggio Emilia.
We play live for some of the biggest festivals in Italy such as Beach Bum, Metarock and Milanosuona; we support some of Carmen Consoli shows and then we leave for a Tour of our own around Italy.
Thinking about that time of our lives, we can admit that everything seemed strange, unreal and things were happening very fast!!!
It's hard to play Rock in Italy.. Valerio and Luca decide to quit for personal reasons, while the band is writing the songs for the new album.
Temporarily substituted by our eternal friends Tommy Massara and Mario Riso (Movida drum player.. but not only..) we record "Sottovuoto" for Extra-label (Virgin), produced by Maks Lepore.
Tato Vastola (ex KaosLord) at the drums and Andrea Macchi at the guitar arrive to substitute Valerio and Luca and become soon part of the band.. They're great musicians and very good friends.. we're five again!!!
In 2001: 3 videos are shot from the second record: "Libera l'anima", "Sottovuoto" and "Volo". Tv Shows, a cd single recorded together with Extrema (the leading Italian metal band), the journalists seem to appreciate all the things we are doing.. and the fans are hotter than ever under the stage!!! Then we start our Tour ..2, we support Him and Guano Apes...
We love this kind of life!!! It's what we've always wanted to do!!!! But most of all we're happy that the friendship with Tato and Andrea grows every day and gets better and better..
Today: We're ready to record our third album.. this time we have no rush: it takes more than nine months to finish it, but we want to make sure that our new song writing style (in English) and the sounds (stronger than the previous works) will perfectly fit our musical growth: no compromises!!!
