About Me


Biography... In ENGLISH...(for good people who won't discriminate me for my English! :-P)
Our Story from the line-up point of view it's been a real odissy but always marked by a great passion.
We met between middle school desks at the age of 13 when Maurizio being able to play guitar and drums tought Valerio the main chords on guitar. This two guy's ability on their instruments has always walked togheter with their volunty to search for new people seriously intentioned in musical field with whom begin a real artistic projects (BIG TARGET).
Valerio and Maurizio met Davide "Kaeble"(guitars) first time in october 2002 and then Flavio(keyboards) during february 2003. During the autumn of the same year ARVALIA made their first promo (composed of 4 tracks).
The year 2003-04 was the beginning period of live music. During 2004-05 Stefano di Leginio (bass) entered the band by compliting the line-up.
During 2005-06 Antonio replaces Stefano who shows personal problems with the rest of the band. During this period ARVALIA begin to make concerts more frequently. The band publishes the first self-product album ARCHE' (from ancient greek meaning "principle") positively criticized from many webzines and reviews eighter generic or progressive specialized.
During winter 2006 Flavio decides to go out from the band because of personal problems due to his studies.
Matteo (a really unsospectable beast-like creature ) is our new keyboard player. This last period is the most beautiful one till now (personally, and musically) with concerts creativity and a lot of step forward in the experimentation). During autumn 2006 we changed the bass player and the new one is Francesco D'Errico. We are composing new tracks!
N.B. Even tough in this profile there's a large amount of photos anc videoclips of Stazione Birra (Station of Beer) a famous live music club in the underground musical scene and in international scene, we want to say that we usually don't play only there but this music club is the best one here for taking photos and clips and even for the sounds so we have preferred to upload photos and clips made there.
The ARVALIA are:
VALERIO "Lopi" RASI (guitars)
DAVIDE "Kaeble" BASTOLLA (guitars)
MAURIZIO NIGRELLI (drums)
MATTEO COLASANTI (piano and Keyboards)
FRANCESCO D'ERRICO (bass)

BIOGRAFIA
Ci conosciamo sin dai banchi di scuola in particolare io (Valerio) e Maurizio. La nostra competenza sullo strumento è cresciuta di paripasso con la voglia di ricercare persone intenzionate con cui iniziare progetti artistici degni (GRANDE IMPRESA). L'incontro con Davide (chitarra) e con Flavio (piano e tastiere), determina una prima formazione che malgrado l'assenza del basso sforna composizioni davvero originali considerata l'età media (17 anni)...Dopo un anno di piccoli concerti insieme a Stefano (basso), il progetto si riveste di intenzioni serie e di una più collaudata consapevolezza di gruppo. L'uscita dell' album autoprodotto Archè nel 2005 e l'entrata di Antonio (basso) in sostituzione a Stefano sono senz'altro un esempio degli ARVALIA ultimi che si fanno strada partendo dalla capitale e arrivando non so ancora dove...speriamo lontano. Ultimamente siamo stati costretti a ricercare un nuovo tastierista trovato nella persona di Matteo . Durante l'autunno 2006 inaspettatamente non si sa più nulla di Antonio Del Buono ed i rimanenti 4 decidono dopo numerosi provini di arruolare Francesco D'Errico.
N.B. Benchè in questo profilo abbondino foto di Stazione Birra noto locale della scena romana ed internazionale, teniamo a precisare che gli ARVALIA non suonano solo lì, ma essendo quel posto il migliore per fare foto e video (vista anche l'ottima acustica) abbiamo preferito caricare prevalentemente foto e video girati in questo posto.

Influences: The great experimentation of some 70's music like Banco del mutuo Soccorso, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Area, PFM, classic rock and many individual Influences (even that of singular musicians guitar heroes) that blend togheter to make a various and original sound in which you can't recognize a single group we inspire to...Our music can be considered as a little big bet in which we want to make explicit our need for eclectisism.
Sounds Like: Clear Rock Progressive music of the 70s roots with psichedelic influences and also jazz-rock, blues and fusion (not intended like jazz fusion but like a real fusion of different background and tastes with something in common).
Type of Label: None
