About Me

TREES OF MINT is a solo project started in 1999. After a four years experience as singer/guitarist in a secret noise band called "Virus in Pachyderm", Francesco Serra decides to turn down the volume and approach to another musical dimension mainly based on guitar and voice. In july and december 2000 he records on his own, with a 4 tracks, his first album titled just "Trees of Mint". In december 2002 he starts, in collaboration with Nicola Porceddu (Dainocova) at the drums, a new home recording session that ends in september 2003 for some unexpected problems. The new work is called "Songs from Drawers". On 2004 he produces his first video clip, totally filmed in Super8, called “Heroes Feel Alone”. He rarely plays live but since 2005 he starts to: new songs are taking shape..In April 2006 starts a new collaboration with Andrea Siddu (Plasma Expander, Dainocova, Intrusi, The Flying Sebadas) at the drums. The new line up sounds good since the first live shows, so, in April 2007, Trees of mint is at the “NHQ” recording studio in Ferrara as a duo. The new record, “Micro Meadow”, will be out sometimes in 2007 for “Here I Stay” records. A Trees of Mint compilation is available on www.dischiautoprodotti.com llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllTREES OF MINT è un progetto solista che nasce nel 1999. Dopo quattro anni di attività come cantante e chitarrista in una noise band cagliaritana (Virus in Pachyderm), Francesco Serra decide di abbassare i volumi ed avvicinarsi ad un’altra dimensione musicale basata principalmente su chitarra e voce. Nel Luglio e nel Dicembre del 2000 registra, nella sua stanza, il suo primo album intitolato “Trees of Mint”. Nel Dicembre del 2002 incomincia, con la collaborazione di Nicola Porceddu (Dainocova) alla batteria, una nuova sessione di registrazione casalinga che termina, a causa di alcuni imprevisti, nel Settembre 2003. Il nuovo lavoro si intitola “Songs from Drawers”. Nel 2004 Francesco Serra realizza il suo primo video clip, interamente girato in super8, per la canzone “heroes feel alone”, contenuta nel primo album. Nel 2005 comincia a portare il progetto dal vivo: cominciano a prendere forma nuovi pezzi.. Nell' Aprile del 2006 nasce una felice collaborazione con Andrea Siddu (Plasma Expander, Intrusi, Dainocova, The Flying Sebadas) alla batteria. La formula del duo (chitarra-voce/batteria) si rivela particolarmente efficace già dalle prime esibizioni live tant'è che nell’Aprile 2007 Trees of Mint è al “NHQ” recording studio di Ferrara come duo. Il nuovo disco, “Micro Meadow”, uscirà entro il 2007 per “Here I Stay” records.
