ALiX

Psychedelic groove rock band from Italy

About Me

ITALIANO
Se amate la psichedelia e il rock'n'roll, ma soprattutto se volete ascoltare una voce femminile strepitosa (un misto tra Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, P.J. Harvey, Chrissie Hynde e una versione femminile di Robert Plant) allora gli ALiX fanno per voi. Immaginate una cena tra amici dove prendano posto 2/4 dei Fu Manchu first edition, John Garcia nei panni sonici degli Unida e qualche cameriere sparso assunto dalle ditte Spirit Caravan e Masters Of Reality. Quattro cd all'attivo: Alix (1997), Cuore in Bocca (1999), Nessun Brivido (2001) e Ground (2004), che li ha resi famosi nel circuito stoner di mezza Europa. Nel 2000, suonano sul palco del Heineken Jammin' Festival di Imola con i Muse, Guano Apes, Primal Scream e Rage Against The Machine, come gruppo vincitore della prima edizione di RockrEvolution. Nel 2003, il tour europeo con i norvegesi Pawnshop e gli svedesi Dozer, fa guadagnare agli ALiX il titolo di "Italian Psychedelic Groove Rock Band". Nel 2004, nuovamente in tour europeo, assieme agli americani The Hidden Hand, la nuova band di Scott "Wino" Weinrich (noto anche per aver partecipato al progetto Probot di Dave Grohl). Tra le più belle recensioni di GROUND, sicuramente spicca quella del giornale inglese Kerrang! che da agli ALiX (KKKK). Nel 2005/2006 si esibiscono in vari tour in Italia e all'estero. Il nuovo disco che hanno registrato a Febbraio 2008,"G00d 1", ha visto al mixer Steve Albini, già produttore di Nirvana, Stooges, Pixies e moltissimi altri. Lo studio che li ha ospitati è il "Red House Recordings" di Senigallia.
ENGLISH
If you love psychedelia and rock'n'roll, but above all if you want to listen to a stupendous female voice (a mixture of Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, P.J. Harvey, Chrissie Hynde, and a female version of Robert Plant) then ALiX is your band. Imagine a dinner party with 2/4 of the first edition of Fu Manchu, John Garcia in his historical guise of Unida and the odd waiter here and there provided by Spirit Caravan and Masters of Reality. Four albums to date: Alix (1997), Cuore in Bocca (1999), Nessun Brivido (2001), Ground (2004), which have made them famous in the stoner circuits of half of Europe. In 2000 the band shared the stage of the Heineken Jammin' Festival in Imola with Muse, Guano Apes, Primal Scream and Rage Against the Machine, as winners of the first edition of RockrEvolution. In 2003, the European tour with the Norwegian band Pawnshop and the Swedish band Dozer earned ALiX the title of "Italian Psychedelic Groove Rock Band". The year 2004 saw them on tour again in Europe, this time with the American band The Hidden Hand, the new band of Scott "Wino" Weinrich (famous also for his participation in Dave Grohl's Probot project). An exceptional review of the album Ground came from the English magazine Kerrang! which awarded the band with a (KKKK). In 2005/2006 the group performed live in various tours both in Italy and abroad. A new album to be recorded in February 2008 will be mixed by Steve Albini, producer of Nirvana, Stooges, Pixies and many others. The album will be recorded at Red House Recordings in Senigallia.
