Massimiliano "Tanzio" Sorrentini

It's interesting what does go on.
And what doesn't go on
that should.
From my 1973 the world's quiet a sight
spun through spiders and webs
that catch us half asleep
and do us in.
before we're even old enough
to know we're through.

And, well
the conversation always gets around to Buffalo Bill.
They think Buffalo Bill is very funny.
So I always ask: what's new with Buffalo Bill?

Francesco "B.J." Bigoni

Born in Ferrara in 1982, he left maths to blow into a brass tube. He often jokes with his friend Beppe Scardino about this common fate. Blowing into a brass tube - and sometimes into a wooden close tube - is now his favorite occupation anyway. Sometimes he even sings through them. He also discovered he could give vent to his scientific passion through composition and an empirical approach to electronics. He spent childhood listening to Beatles and reading Art Spiegelman's comics. He didn't hide his admiration for his football idols, Peter Beardsley and John Barnes, which made him unpopular among his classmates. Coming through his teen years, he turns to Nick Drake, Robert Crumb, Thomas Bernhard and Paul Auster. Disillusioned about football, he becomes an expert of rugby and volleyball, which makes him unpopular among girls of his same age. The concert that changes his life did the same to his friend Fonzie: the Bill Frisell trio gig with Kermit Driscoll e Joey Baron in Ferrara, during one of their last European tours as a band. His collective mates use to call him B.J. maybe after BJ Armstrong (point guard of Jordan's Chicago Bulls) or Bon Jovi. When he's not playing music, he argues with Tanzio about philosophy: they both enjoy. He lives between Ferrara and Berlin.


Alfonso "Lalo" Santimone
















Stefano "Zakaz" Senni

Nicknamed Zakaz (not Lughese dialect, but an arcane Polish word for "forbidden", given by a drummer friend)...
He opens his eyes in the middle of the 1972 Ancona earthquake, till then you should have seen he likes low frequencies.
Soon he has been adopted by people from Romagna; he's so identified with them that he thinks "Mr P.C." has been written after the Passator Cortese. He pretends to be his reincarnation.
On his 2nd grade he hears a symphonic orchestra: in the middle of the concert a bass player puts his bow down and picks an A that overwhelms the entire band!
The shout "It ... could ... work!" frightens friends, classmates and teachers!
That episode will irreparably mark his future.
Today he dreams a world inspired by a one and great bass line, which pushes boundaries between genres, sure that a better sound makes a better man. One day, because of an odd and not likely coincidence, this dream could come true ...

Enrico "The King" Terragnoli
















Martino Fedrigoli

Martino













Nelide Bandello

Ejected from the primordial harmonic chamber in January 1971 because of deadline, he had found consolation in southern Italian butter cookies and barley coffee.
Escaped from a piano lesson proposal, he avoided guitar teacher too, just to find himself hanging with fingernails from a drum hedge. The legs swinging.
He still dangles over the emptiness from a laughable but dizzy high, he rocks back and forth on one side, but one side only. When the wind blows he sweats a lot.
He is a millenary wrong species evolution result.
He studied at an international school for executioners but he refused to be a professional because of sense of modesty.
Can’t solve any sudoku but he can change himself into a green lizard and into a trapist monk.


Piero "Ropie" Bittolo Bon

Born in September '76 in Portogruaro, just in time to damage the little town's reputation. He later moved in Venice, where he was initiated to the secrets of the firecrackers, which he still now prefers by far to solfeggio. As a matter of fact he decides to interrupt a more than promising career in the classical piano world after achieving a decent command in performing Francesco Paolo Frontini's "Il Piccolo Montanaro" ("The Little Mountain Boy"). Anyway, the moment in his life when he switched from an unconditional devotion to videogames to an alto saxophone in his hands it's not clear. His secret dream: to win money to the Totogol lotto game enough to commission to CERN's LHC (Large Hadron Collider) an experiment that might help to solve a dilemma that persecuted him in the best years of his life: who's stronger, Mazinger Z or Cannonball Adderley?
