FROM ABRUZZO...
Sfaratthons, from Borrello... Borrello
is a beautiful small town in the province of Chieti in the Abruzzo
region, near the border with the province of Isernia in Molise.
Nearby you can visit a natural park with the highest waterfalls in
the Apennines, le Cascate del Verde. Here, in the middle
of these magnificent panoramas, in the late seventies, five young
friends in love with progressive rock music formed a band called the
Sfaratthons, a word derived from the local dialect that can be
loosely translated as "the idlers". The first line up of
the band featured Cecilio Luciano (drums, vocals), Giovanni Di Nunzio
(guitar, sax, vocals), Mario Rosato (keyboards), Bruno Di Nunzio
(bass) and Luca Luciano (vocals, guitar). With the help of another
friend, lyricist Argentino D'Auro, they started to work on a rock
opera dealing with environmental issues entitled La bestia umana.
Unfortunately, the band never managed to release an album during
their early days and eventually split up in the eighties. In
2011 some of the old members reunited with the idea of making an old
dream come true. With a renewed line up featuring Cecilio Luciano
(drums), Giovanni Di Nunzio (lead vocals, guitar, sax), Luca Di
Nunzio (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Giovanni Casciato (bass, guitar)
and Mario Di Nunzio (bass), the Sfaratthons started to work again on
their old compositions. Another original member, Luca Luciano (Facebook), is now
an appreciated painter and took charge of the art work while lyricist
Argentino D'Auro wrote a book about the concept of the album and the
history of the band... During the recording sessions the band was
helped by some guest musicians such as Geoff Warren (flute), Berardo
Adenolfi (guitar) and Giovanni Ferrari (sax) that contributed to
enrich the sound. The album was finally completed and self-released
in 2016 and I think it's really worth listening to. The music and
lyrics are able to convey emotions and there's a vintage atmosphere
that could recall some Italian album from the seventies... More info: |

FROM TOSCANA...
Nicola Pardini is a talented multi-instrumentalist and composer from Pisa who in 2016 self-released a very interesting debut album entitled Archimede, featuring the precious collaboration of vocalist and lyricist Stefano Simoncini. On the album Nicola Pardini plays all the instruments showcasing not only a great musicianship but also a songwriting full of inventiveness and an extraordinary sense of rhythm while the vocals and poetry of Stefano Simoncini add colours and visionary images, strange melodies and exotic flavours. You can hear here influences ranging from jazz rock to prog, from classical music to folk and more, all mixed with gusto and freshness... More info: |

FROM LIGURIA...
Magia Nera come from La Spezia and their roots date back to the late sixties under the name Nuova Esperienza. In 1969 they changed their name into Magia Nera (Black Magic), inspired by the sounds of bands such as Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep and Deep Purple and started playing covers and composing original material. In the early seventies the band had a good live activity on the local scene and took part with a good success to some music festivals such as the Free Festival Pop of Bottagna. When all was ready for a deal with the label Magma Records something went wrong and the band split up without recording anything... More than forty years later the Magia Nera reunited with almost all the original members to complete what they had left behind. In 2017 Magia Nera finally released their debut album, L'ultima danza di Ophelia, on the independent label Akarma Records, distributed by Black Widow Records. The current line up features the veterans Emilio Farro (vocals), Pino Fontana (drums), Lionello Accardo (bass) and Bruno Cencetti (electric guitar) plus Andrea Foce (keyboards) who replaced Orazio Colotto. The overall sound is definitively vintage and I'm sure that fan of seventies Italian prog will appreciate this work... More info: |
