1979-1984 ... An urban legend?

4 young musicians, a wine cellar in the center of Vicenza and the desire to play.

Subjects music: Beatles, PFM, Toto and the surrounding rock and roll.

The features are all there.

Or rather ... there were at the beginning of our history ...

Everything was born from the meeting of Paul and Luke - childhood friends - Andy and Galen - in turn childhood friends - the classroom of the mythical ITIS "A. Smith "in Vicenza.

All with a passion for music, all - more or less - skilled in playing an instrument.

After a brief hesitation - about 30 seconds - the 4 shoots can be found at home, or rather infamous in the cellar, and Andy begin to delight neighborhood and shops with the first strum.

What we have: 3 guitars, 1 keyboard ... not something we should review! Promptly retrieves a bass guitar, strictly used.

And then here is a battery, integrated gradually more and more valuable pieces.

The first amplifiers, speakers, special effects ... of course, homemade, including the electronics stuff ... you would not believe, now, as then it was our life!

The cellar can not stay that way, too reverb, too little atmosphere, we have to customize it. Sound-absorbent panels? Too easy! The egg containers are perfect, so stock up with family, friends and trusted nutritionists: the square meters of wall are still many. The end result? Similar to a modern anechoic chamber.

A mixer and a new electric bass complete the work, we have now!

So much so that the nearby hairdresser requires our presence with a loud voice: we make them increase business ... says she was only interested in playing for us ... and maybe someone has complained as well (just for Conoco, there are 2 times the brigade arrived and a carabinieri) ... but luckily we do not know.

What we do know is that those 4 guys have had the luck and the courage to perform in public - historic concert film at Spring St. Bertilla - and who have paved the ground for other musical groups emerged in their wake.

Our lives crossed for a relative short period of time, but was instrumental in the formation of each of us.

Now we're back, a little 'more appensantire perhaps, but only in appearance, the heart and soul is always one of those wild boys: the YRRWO!
