We started playing in the summer of 2007, recording our first demo in a hot august week. On November 2007 the band had its first live show at La Locomotiva, Osnago. After other concerts in the north of Italy, we recorded the version of "Sweet Home Mexicali" (January 2008, Trentin Recording Studio) that you can hear in our playlist. This song is about the troubles experienced by a young mexican chico, who is also working abroad in the U.S.
On May 2008 and up to September 2008 the band peformed in several pubs and local festivals, sharing stages with important blues artists as Mauro Ferrarese and Treves Blues Band. On May 2008 we also recorded "live" the songs "I got two" (featuring Mauro Ferrarese on National resophonic guitar) and "From the bottom of the world". The first one is the moaning of a man who puts money before love; the second one is a hymn against indifference and prejudge in a big town like Milan. On September 2008 the band was at work again in the Trentin Recording Studio, where we recorded other five songs in order to finish our first LP, "Jungle Rules", which is essentially a love songs album. Here you can listen to three of them: "Postcards & photographs", "Love at 3rd degree" and "The train from St Petersburg".
Hope you enjoy our stuff. If you do, come and have a beer with us**
