Jan, 15th 2009 - New year, new life!

Hey buddies, as you probably have seen, we've been out of the scene for a troubled period. Everything is fine now, and we're ready to re-start and to kick your asses again!
I've never hoped it would have happened, but it's life and we've to go on: we'll not play with Chuck Ragan from our beloved Hot Water Music. Yes, it's so bad, and I can confess to all of you that I've had a 1/2 heart attack that turned into "will of kill" when the promoter has wrote me.
Unfortunately, the show has been moved in another venue (Sottotetto, always in Bologna), and the chief wants only local bands (+ Coffee Showers).
This is another time more that show how primitive is our State: as I always said, we're the 3rd MUSIC WORLD! Well, we've a lot of will of play, so we'll be on stage with my great dutch friends ANTILLECTUAL on Feb. the 1st in Piacenza. It's around 5 years we don't play in this beatiful city!

Another good new is that we're on the playlist of the german RADIO ARA, in the show "Der Daiwel steet virun der Dir"!
You can see the playlist and listen on streaming this radio here

So...happy new year, with the hope that this 2009 will be full of joyce for everyone (also for this fucking Italy!!).

It has been a blast! We would like to thank Martin from Strictly-Commercial, the crazy Mofa (piccolo stronzo!!!), Marcel, his parents, sister and all the guys from Barn-nana-rama, all the bands we've played with in these 2 unforgettable days and all the friends we've met along the way, who have supported us with love, buying cds and t-shirts. We'll come back as soon as possible!

May, 27th 2008 - Reviews

Hey, two new reviews are on line on www.ondalternativa.it and www.sowdust.it.
The first one is ok: they like our cd (thanks Gianni!) spending good words for us.
The second one is...well, I don't know what I can say...you know, I run a record label and I'm usually in contact with webzines and mags for reviews...this is the first time I read these fuckin' shit! Unfortunately there's nothing usefull for us to grow up and understand what it doesn't work and what works...I think that every band has to pretend respect, most of all who is working hard to create something of important!For himself and maybe for the others! I accept all the critics, without saying a word. But these aren't critics. We've just sent some e-mails to Ivano from sowdust to express our disappoint: it has been a civil discussion ('cause WE ARE civil), but I still don't understand how these guys can be part of the scene...the scene is creation, not destruction!
We still go on to create music for ourself and for who WANTS TO UNDERSTAND our way of being (fortunately, a lot of guys!Thank YOU!)...we're not a main band and maybe we won't so ever, but we're proud of play alternative music, with wrong notes, chords, pronunciation and all the fuckin' shit you want!WE'RE REAL AND WE LEAVE THE PLASTIC TO THE OTHERS!

Dami with Matt, Lenz and Nauz

May, 19th 2008 - First review!

Hey ya, the first review of our new EP is online on www.rockambula.com.
It's in italian lenguage, but we'll translate it in english asap. It's a great review and we're proud (and, to be honest, excited!) of it! A big thanks to Riccardo Verrocchi for his words!
Rock on!

May, 15th 2008 - Finally we've got a brand new website!

Hey bros, we're going to release our new record, titled "Caught in a frame", and we've (at least!) decided to re-style our website.
Someone think that's "vintage", because the new way of communication is called "My Space". Well, we're not fashion and we want a website too!
We'll try to write a lot also here, so stay connected!
On May the 23rd we'll have a release party show in our hometown, Lodi, having the great plasure of share the stage with GERSON and X-Mary (and other cool bands), with the hope of having a lot of fun...it's a lot of time that we don't play a "real" show in Lodi for different reasons, and we want to say a big "THANK YOU" to the guys from REBELKID and CLAM, who give us this possibility!
We love you!
Don't miss the show and stay tuned!
