About Me


I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!

The story of if began in the early '90s, thanks to Claudio Lapenna and Dario Lastella... OK you can read it all on our site!!!
The most important thing to say it's that we're actually a "web band": we live quite far from each other, but we go on producing our music...
And we earned friendship and respect from great indie musicians all over the world who pushed up our songs to the top on IACmusic charts with their unique listens and nominated one of our songs for the IAIA Golden Kayak.
So... would you give a chance to our music?
Your opinion is very important for us!
NEW ALBUM "The Stairway" available!!!
