False Friends

About Me

Uncorrected personality traits have led to this ultimate version of the band. Like General Custer at the Little Big Horn, they're proudly shooting (at the moon?) in the air with their battered electric noise generators, about to be scalped by the hostile mob. Obsessed by rock, but nothing more than clumsy amateurs (don't call'em musicians, please!), their taste is made up with multiple dislikes, like, to make example, italian music (they actually come from Phobia, a paranoid town halfway between Monterey and Mars), producers and sound engineers and, generally, well respectable and slick muzak. They're out now with their record titled "The unavoidable light" (2007 - Peteran Records): will someone in the World give a shit? Thanx to everybody for their indifference: it made us grow crooked but determined. Thanx to Eugenio at Peteran and to Faber: Today Your love, Tomorrow the World! Join the friendheads and be happy...
