Well, we started playing together in 2003, we are six, some of us had previous bands and projects, we have different music tastes but not that different. After a first demo, recorded at Jungle Sound Studio (Milan), were we watered down pop melodies with long and boring instrumental parts, we decided it was much better to focus mainly on songs and arrangements. So we wrote some songs and we changed them a million of times. When we thought we were satisfied (or tired, if you prefer) we asked Gianmaria Aprile ( he plays in Ultraviolet Makes Me Sick and he's the owner of Fratto9underThe Sky records ) if he would help us recording the new songs. We entered the studio in April 2005 and we finished in December. In the meantime, we became friends with Gianmaria and the rest of the band, for their misfortune. We played a lot, even supporting good bands like Milaus, Volcano!, Hogwash, Amari, Disco Drive, Kech and we have taken part in the ClassEurock Festival in Aix-en-Provence (France). In spring 2006 the indipendent label Zahr Records offered to publish our debut album. Wow.

_____The songs you can find in “Ten Little White Monsters†have been composed through a year and a half, practically together. We had the chance to try different arrangements and melodic solutions, some of them were defined during the recordings. The purpose was to resume in one album 2 years of ideas, discussions, rehearsals, and frantic listenings. The result is a handful of miscellaneous excerpts that keep constantly pop melodies as a reference point.
The album was recorded by Gianmaria Aprile (Ultraviolet Makes Me Sick, Fratto9 under the sky rec.) at Fratto9sick studio in S.Alessio between april and december 2005, mixed by Lorenzo Monti (Milaus) at Bips studio (Milan) in january 2006 and mastered by Maurizio Giannotti at Bips studio in february 2006.
