The Roman Games

About Me

MySpace Layouts
Some people call music "work". How arrogant. It's a privilege.
What great musicians I adore said about The Roman Games:
"Very, very good. Nice mix of styles, no testosterone metal crap. I hope they go far!"
Captain Sensible, The Damned
"Fantastic songs...I really enjoy listening to their music!"
Karl Wallinger, World Party
"The Roman Games? I love their atmoshperes, the eeriness, the arpeggiated motions... I'm glad I'm Romangame's friend!" Ed Ball, Television Personalities, The Times
The Roman Games started in Switzerland about 20 years ago. With an output of about 20 songs a year, there must be more than 400 songs by now. Most of them are nice and catchy pop tunes that could have been the soundtrack for a nice underground cult surprise hit movie. Go to The Roman Games Diary for news on the scene the Games are in. Roman currently plays in and around NYC with the band ROOM.
