About Me

Montecarlofire start playing together at the end of 2002. They begin as a 60s/70s cover band and gradually start playing modern music and begin writing their first songs. By the begining of 2003 they start playing in pubs and music festivals growing in terms of capability and credibility. By 2004 they have already recorded their first demo and participate at various "battle of the bands" festivals gaining huge succes in terms of critics. The same year they are contacted by a well known italian producer and sign for a 1 year contract for a major sponsored project wich starts in june 2005. They participate at local italian tv shows on DT television and here again they succeed in granting themselves good critics despite the tv shows' known bad critics for bands. In 2005 they begin recording for their first record deal and today they are still working for their up coming debut, whether it will be on an indie label or not, which they hope will happen within 2007. The band has recorded their first e.p in december 2006. Their new work, which is anticipated as one of the most credible projects of the capital city, keeping in mind these chaps are barely in their 20s, has been produced by freelance producer Paolo Santambrogio and montecarlofire with the participation of Marco Lecci. On this page you can hear the rough mix of the e.p wich is announced for the 20th of January 2007. The band is viewing various possibilities that have been offered to them by labels and producers.Soon more will be said on their upcoming future.
