The band started in Naples in 1995, Marco was singing, Paolo was strumming the bass and Walter used to bang the drum, they did some shows then Paolo called it quit. A new bass player joined in and after a year a demo was ready. Joey Vindictive heard the demo and said.. cool you are sooo gonna be on my label!!! The band said.. wow!
With another bass player (the third) the band recorded some songs that ended up in their first CD released on VML records (the Cd is OOP and nowhere to be found) In 1997 to support the record they did a small tour in the USA opening the show for the Squirgun.
In 1998 they played a lot in Italy and also did some shows together with Scared of Chaka with whom they later released a 7" split. The record was issued on Ballroom Blitz records, the band's label.
The band kept playing sometimes as a three pieces some others as a four pieces unit and after the first split out in 1999, in 2000 they released another 7" this time with Squitgun. The band at that time was Marco, Walter and the incredible Perzico on bass.
At the beginning of 2001 the band moved form Naples to Roma where Marco was living and the second Cd "Back From Nowhere" was released with the help of the mighty Paolo (the once bass player). The songs had been recorded in the States at Sonic Iguana studios by Mass Giorgini just at the end of the US tour.
The line up was at the time Marco (Homo Cantore Strimpellatoresque), Stefano (Bassonatore Ereticus), and Antonio (Homo percussivus lucanus).
They put out a 7" on Nicotine records and the third and new, marvellous, earpleasing Cd "RUBBER BALL" on Valium recordz.
In September 2007 a new single was released featuring a cover of BULLETS by the MISFITS with new lyrics, instead of JFK now the song deals with the death of Lady Diana (we cried so much when she passed...) and all the gossip hype around it.
2008 started with a change in the line up with on Luca drums that stayed in the band briefly cos he went to feed the hungry ones!
Now on the throne beating the skins seats, straight from the land where the sun is hot and ruins are old... Gino!
And the beat goes on...
These are the songs of our new 7"
TALK OF THE TOWN
ENGLAND'S ROSE
