About Me

Writing a biography is never easy, especially if you know it will be read by someone who has read hundreds of. But so it goes, well try to do it.The former members of this italian band (2001) decided to concentrate themselves on instrumental music, in order to become the purists of no-sing-song. But, you know, the past returns and the roots are not peanuts, so the fundamentalism of the beginning changes into a pop-indie approach, when we finally realize we cant write 2 minutes nor 20 minutes songs, and we choose to devote ourselves to 4-5 minutes songs (how brave we are!). We made more-or-less interesting gigs, and we were amongst the founders (with our bucolic friends Pecksniff) of the label Merendina. During that experience, we learned to work in the world of gig booking.In the middle of this excitement we had the chance to meet the fifth element of Vancouver, the voice Alain Marenghi (and you will judge how nasty this encounter was). He became soon an irreplaceable member of the band and he gave us a steady hand and a fist of melodramatic lyrics to release our first Ep, Great News From The Foggy Town, that was recorded by Carlo Martinelli and mixed by Mourice Andiloro, musicians, friends, and professionals. We cant judge it, cause we are too involved in it, but we appreciated that the magazine Blow Up ranked Great News From The Foggy Town between the top ten italian indie debut in 2005.

everything beautiful is far away, more than ever

i grandaddy si sono sciolti. dicono per soldi, nel senso che non era una avventura abbastanza profittevole. I soldi sono senza dubbio una buona ragione per tenere insieme una band, soprattutto dopo di...
