2003 is the year Electric 69 see the light by two old friend's, coming from theHardcore/Punk scene, will: Maurizio(former Wood Guitar and vocalist) and Stefano (OneFineDay previousDrummer and Cycle Records man). Novara and Verbania (their two areas, in the north west of ourpeninsula) got together, after years spent talking about experiences, tours and records to merge up inone super project.
The passion for straight and upright Grande Rock sound, coming from late sixties, as MC5, The Who andGrand Funk Railroad, not less than the honest swedish modern sound like Hellacopters, pushes the guys tomeet Roberto Serra (former Killin'Kind's bass player) and Alessandro Rosa (guitarist), heading this wayto a good line up, moving the first steps getting a unique sound.
After a while, Mauro (former Jolly Rogers great guitarist) came in to replace Alessandro and the bandstarted playing gigs in his area. The songs got new energy and writing raised to a good skill, so thatharmony between the band members and a fresh sound, guitar oriented with some Detroit bit was done.
Summer of 2005 see the guys recording a full length LET'S PLAY TWO for Crise Records out of Domodossolaand recorded at the SonicHome Studio by Diego Cattaneo.
Right in January 2006 Roberto has been replaced by Giorgio (Changing men's former member and currentguitarist for Thee Stolen Cars), playing bass and backing vocals.
June 2007 Eddie, the "chatting bass player", joined the band right after Giorgio leaved. Then, ladiesand Gents, Don Luke is gonna record the Fender Rhodes piano on most of the song we'll put on this nextFull Lenght and, who knows, he could join the "Sixtineners" forever and live-ever!
Welcome "funky fingers" Luke!
Well, now the band is ready to break your ears down and conquer all the true rocker heart's comingacross his path!
November 2007, E69 is haunting the SonicHomeRecordings Studio (poor our beloved Diego), carving on stone the new record that will blow you outon 2008, get your kick on Go Down Recs!
