About Me

The band was born in the year 2001. The influences are various and merge in a rock and catchy melody. However the priority is to write original music, without giving in to "temptation" of covering famous bands. The writing phase suddenly started and it's very fertile... Then the band begins an intense live activity that will run in the years and that will bring them to play in almost all the main local of the region (Rolling Stone of Milan, Stonehenge, Incubo Cafè, Container Club in Milan, Heiniken Jammin' Club in Castellanza, the Circolone of Legnano, Rock Sound near Como, the Temple of the dog and the Thunderoad in Pavia just to name some...), despite find places where playing live in Lombardy is not easy... After separation with bassist Francesco arrives Alessandro Croci. With his entry the band can play more experimental and aggressive. In 2004 the new guys feel ready to record their first demo-cd, that is the engraving of 3 pieces: Nothing Left (that will appear in the compilation of Rolling Stone Saturday Night Live 2004 as the opening track), Save Yourself and For my Soul. In case of the time available in the studio, however, the quality of the registration is inadequate and the band does not feel satisfied fully. Because of too many commitments, Alessandro is forced to leave the band. There thus Alberto soldavini that, already in harmony with the other of the band, will ensure continuity in musical direction taken by the band and, finally, stability in the training. Alongside the live activity that in the meantime intensifies, the group decided to produce its first full album and it is put in search of a recording studio suitable for this need, so, in May 2007 the band, with the technical support of John Dusio of the Tempio of Gallarate, self-produced "Day of the Tentacle". The album includes 9 tracks (stored in SIAE): Eldorado, Local Hero, A Nail on the Highway, Banana Skin, Rollover, Nothing Left, For my Soul, Your Computer is Watching You, Save Yourself. 3 of these (Nothing Left, For My Soul and Save Yourself), also appeared in the demo of 2004 and are rearranged more deeply and the result is certainly more satisfying. From Local Hero a friend of the band, Alessandro Tacchi, draws the opportunity to produce a video clip. The style of the band, also in view of the new songs composed (some of which already entertained during the most recent live) has changed dramatically since the beginnings: now prefer sound more hard and heavy, even if the melodic parts are always clear and in many cases also become the dominant factor in the sound of the band.
