About Me

Reflue's hybrid pop blends traditional rock roots with an avant-garde sound.
Their music picks up where Neil Young and Arto Lindsay leave off, while evoking root music, psychedelic pop, jazz and ambient electronic-like atmospheres.
Federico Del Santo (guitar),Max Scaccaglia (bass) and Gianluca Gozzi (keyboards) gave life to this brilliant and inspired experience in 1997.
Afterwards veteran drummer Roberto Colla (a former Raw Power member) and singer Michele Zilioli joined them;
the latest entry is guitarist/sound technician Carlo Martinelli, whose contribution has allowed the band to expand their sound even further.
Together with an intense schedule of live shows (they won several competitions and are regulars in such prestigious clubs as Bloom in Milan and Estragon in Bologna) was the issue of their debut Lp Slo-Mo
.
This self-produced album was greeted enthusiastically by the music press.
Slo-mo was listed among Il Mucchio magazine's top records of 2002, featured in Rockerilla, Tutto and other magazines and web sites.
All details can be found at the group's www.reflue.it website, which is due to be re-launched in the next weeks.
June 2005: Reflue was selected among more than 1,500 bands all over Italy and played on the second stage of the Heineken Jammin' Festival in Imola ,
one of the biggest european music happenings.
The event was sponsored by Junglesound recording studio (www.junglesound.com) and the band subsequently appeared on the TV broadcast "Play.it" on "All Music TV" and was featured on a special cd compilation issued by italian music magazine "Rumore".
That same summer they won Musical Box by "Frequenze Disturbate" , in Urbino and opened the stage for such bands as Blonde Redhead, Fourtet and Yo La Tengo.
Their much anticipated album titled "A COLLECTIVE DREAM" was out on september 23th, 2006.
The effort, greatly appreciated by musical press and totally sang in english, was produced by the band together with Maurice Andiloro (Breakfast) and released by brilliant italian independent music label Shyrec.
After a touring live period the band is now composing his third album which will be out in januar 2008.

Sounds Like: Col passare degli anni la parola pop ha definitivamente perso il significato originario di popolare nelle sue accezioni più crude e volgari per approdare ad una definizione semantica allargata a tutto ciò che rientri in un determinato contesto melodico, inglobando comunque dei momenti di sperimentazione, certamente non del tutto spiazzanti o deflagranti negli effetti sonori e di contenuto, ma di assoluto prestigio. Un esempio tipico di band riconducibile a tale schema di definizione sono i Reflue e sicuramente di tutto riguardo e rispetto è il trattamento che riservano al beneamato pop.
