Who knows, not me

It's been a lot since I haven't update this tiny blog :)

It's been quite a long summer vacation for me, and I felt the urge to split myself between music and the sea. Not that I managed to get that tan, but I've been writing and playing quite a lot.

While Mike Leffe is enjoying his side folk project with Fiore, I'm buisy as well working a long a girl singing in one of my favourite Italian bands :)

She made my summer, and I'm really superglad about the material we're putting together. (We already recorded 5 demos in 2 weeks leaving out 2 songs and I'm already writing a new one). Doin' a succesful he/she project had always been one of my dreams, and it's really nice writing songs for two parts à-la-brunettes. Our intention is to bring you the finest indie pop album of 2012... We already thought about the title, but we're still unsure on the name of the band... so any suggestion is really appreciated :)

Not only that. Vulpiano Records asked me to work on a new Ep. It will be a really nice surprise (I hope) as well. I've already written and recorded 4 songs out of 5, and I'm totally proud about the lyrics. Simone Cecchetti also provided me a fantastic picture for the cover. I couldn't have asked for more!

We're also out for a Kingem Records compilation for the Neo Italo Disco project called "U.N.DISCO", with a song called "Mumarcord" and a few bit of other collaborations on another couple of songs.




We also find the time for some very hot (it's summer in the Tropics) band practicing and Matt Share was so cool to shoot some videos:

• FIX
• BYE
• Scrambled Eggs
  
• Mask Me Mask Me Mask Me
• Tiny Trains
  
• The Smiths and the cure
• S♥L

Why we are practising so bad? We're trying to set up an Italian tour with The Cavalcade, still seems we're failing in finding dates. Anybody wants to adopt two indie pop bands? Check this link!

What else? Andrè Brorsson from Stars In Coma (he just released his new work for Kingem Records) he's doin' a great GENIUS job with the editing and mixing of our album Februero (he was surprising on making "The Psychopath At The Club" looking like the new Boys Keep Swinging) that we decided to finish and present - guess what - on February!

Anyway guess our third album will be ready before the first. Stay in tune! :)

Ukulele O'Clock

They told me I had to learn at least some of my songs with that stuff... so I finally decided to give it a try, starting with a new one. Have fun!

Tweening Every Lyrics

Here's the lyrics of the "Tweening Everyday" EP. Enjoy

1) TWEENING EVERYDAY

Stop. Look. Listen to the sound of what you found behind your far old town
Step out. Hills are all around and the surrounds are filled with all that counts.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner
I want Tweening everyday
Taste a piece of country
I need Tweening everyday

Nazi songs with jam on bread won't take away the chico zingers from the train
See the girls wide their blue eyes
Here comes the band
We'll love them blind

Breakfast, lunch and dinner
I want Tweening everyday
Taste a piece of country
I need Tweening everyday

2) THE LAST LIVING LADS IN THE MIDLANDS

We're the last living lads in the Midlands
We're just looking for some fun
We don't know how to drive
Your attention falls completely
while the sun and all those clouds
spy those kids upon the ground
We're confused, but not that silly!
And we're still holding on

The last living lads
The last living lads
The last living lads in the Midlands

Ain't no use to ask around
You just follow the sound
The last living lads in the Midlands

And they'll tell you that is over
That you came here a bit to late
They have already played
Not a sign to spot the right place
You're just hanging around
Between hills and those small towns

The last living lads
The last living lads
The last living lads in the Midlands

3) THE LINE TO THE CHURCH

The Line to the church
seemed endless and confused
never seen so many people here before
Although the're here looking all around hills to pop and roll
seems we're still still caring for our souls

Do they think it just won't hold
and they'll be spared by rain and cold.
Are you? Are you here for werewolves too?
Hope to be. Hope to be welcomed soon.

She got butterflies, sweet butterflies and badges on a bag of magazines
holding hands with her new boyfriend just arrived from Butterley
He got lost on Swanwick
Now he's found. He's at home, babe, and he's our way to be free.

4) THE DANCING TENT

I really tried 'though
I'm really tired 'though
I really tried to change my mind
I should give it up now
I should get at home now
But it's so hard to step out and go away

So come and cheer now
just step inside now
start to move and have no fear
and you'll have no rest
come and take a chance
Shake your head and clap your hands for real.

DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DANCING
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DANCING
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DANCING
Dance until the end
It's the Dancing Tent
Allright!

The lightbulbs of the scene are coloured fantasies
to turn our sweetest memories
They call for dancing feet

Cute smiles and cheeks to kiss
before we'll walk on different streets
It's all quiet and so unreal
That's the real big deal
Be a star and shine on near
You'll have no time to fall
to take me out of stall
first strobe dancing girl
we're sitting near
Just to be clear to see


DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DANCING
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DANCING
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DANCING
Dance until the end
It's the Dancing Tent
Allright!

5) ONE TWO YEP MIC CHECK

Protest signs
Can't count
On a World that's cool and proud
There's no way to say
How our love is here to stay
Just be brave and shout
That's what it's all about
You hit your test
and we're never gonna fail
One Two Yep... Mic Check

That's all
In line
Can't you see it in the stars
The sound is right
Couldn't fit no other night
Step on and smile
Make this your final sight
Your special time
Go on and try
It will never gonna die
One Two Yep... Mic Check

Are we ever gonna fail?
One Two Yep... Mic Check

You hit your test
and we're never gonna fail
One Two Yep... Mic Check
We'll never gonna fade
One Two Yep... Mic Check
Are we ever gonna fail?
One Two Yep... Mic Check
