PIP CARTER LIGHTER MAKER

Pip Carter Lighter Maker is 2005 Claudio Luppi's project, made of sun beams reflected through trees and caleidoscopic thoughts grabbed just before fallin' asleep, to bring us those kind of childish sleepy feelings.Not to be conceived as a hobby, but as a concrete and powerful need to express themselves, Pip Carter's first twelve songs see the light of day in 2006 recorded in solitude with a four tracks cheap recorder in the suburbs of Modena and finally with the two right men: Pier the mystic drummer and Steve the shy bassist.During several months Pip Carter plays live on many different stages and two extra members (Lenny on guitar and Joe on keyboard) join the band to define and give more strenght to the sound wich now is pure, rude, and more defined even thanks to the tireless live actvity and to the concord between the members: so Pip Carter's universe is born and start getting concrete shapeAnyway it is very difficult to define Pip Carter's original sound, but their influences are strictly linked to band as the Kinks, the Who, Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Blues Magoos or even the Beatles and The Stones and present day band as Oasis or Ocean Colour Scene
