About Me

Oriental Beat Punk rock fanzine: culture, alienation, boredom and despair. No time to waste paper anymore. Anyway, we keep on writing about records, shows and people on the web...
Willy Wonkas, is the first punk rock band I was in. We put out some 7’s and then we did split up. We were influenced by the music we used to listen at the end of the 90s: Dwarves, Misfits, Toilet Boys, Zeke, Nashville Pussy and blah blah blah… Ale, singer and songwriter and guitar player Dario actually play with the Dead Boyz Can’t Fly, Dario plays with Good Ol’ Boys too… Drummer Chaz Palermo M.I.A. Bass player Claudio was in the Uptights but now he stopped playing. Maybe he’s still a vinyl addict.
Teenage Schizoid were totally 70s Ramones. I was 50% bass and 50% guitar, Claudio was the other 50%. Ale used to sing, Manuel from the Manges was on the drum. We put out two demos and played only few but memorable shows…
The Directors, my actual band, are: Leeches’ Massi singing and slapping, Luca stealing hair metal riffs, Porna on the drums and me playing guitar… We have a 7” split with the Last Killers out on Area Pirata Records and some songs waiting to be released somehow. Punk rock influenced by Cheap Trick, Hard Ons, Faster Pussycat and anything else…
