Me and the band
Hello everyone. First post on this blog and first on a blog ever! I guess it had to happen someday.. Anyway, as the start, I'll go with the story of the three of us.
I met Ham through common friends back in the Autumn of 2004. He and Michele (Squirrel's voice and guitar) attended the same course at University, here in Turin. We were introduced at a gig but we didn't really love each other at first. We started going to shows together (Turin and Milan) and found ourselves sharing the same passion for live events and infinite love towards the fantastic sPAZIO 211 club. Now, as I think of shows, he's the one I always see myself with at any concert.
Marco (Rob.. or Bob) and I met at Uni in the Spring of 2005. I remember him coming to ask me where I had bough a Joy Division t-shirt from and that's how we started talking. We saw some concerts together and went to lessons without really listening to the teachers but thinking about silly names for the four-piece band we had started. It didn't really split up but stopped playing after some months even though we had written a couple of good songs.
We all kind of share the same tastes in music and we all support the one and only football team of the city, Torino. It's always a good start! We just found ourselves having to spend some free time before leaving for holidays on a sunny August afternoon so we decided to go playing for the pleasure of it and things went wild as fuck. It was all about attitude (and it's how it still is) and we played some tunes by Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads, Big Star, Primal Scream and Teenage Fanclub without ever performing them before. It went down great and we left the room with the ears killed by the huge noise we did keeping the volumes insanely loud.
So, after Ham's band splitted up, it all seemed like the natural way to start a new band together. Things are looking brighter and brighter even after the few reharsals we've had so far. Hope it'll keep on going like this.
As for the choice to write this blog in English.. as a friend said, we think global!
See you back soon
Cheers, dan
