XMARS Time!

Once upon not so a long ago, I was guested by Alessandro and Paolo from the Italian radio show Geek Radio for a Christmas special edition 'bout Sweden and Japan celebrating winter holidays.

Alessandro (he still sings in "Le Man Avec Les Lunettes") asked me to collect some artists for a Japanese Christmas pop for the next year. A further edition of Geek Radio wasn't meant to be, still my friends from the band HajimePop was still willing to contribute with a festive song.

So here we are, with this virtual split, our Christmas Gift to you all!

Enchantment Under The Cesuola

Possibly best performance ever, just me and Mic Leffe Tiny Tide was sliced in a garage duo, just for one night, and since far to obvious comparsions with other bands started to pop up few days from the concert we decided to mock our own name on "The White Tides". I was so electrified by that idea that I decided to start the show with Chuck, my dark 80's Gretsch. It was a good show indeed, with a lot of covers and friends crowding possibly the most dangerous bar in Cesena, starting to play at 00.00 a.m. Being only a a drum and a guitar gave us space to a lot of ideas and solo moments, starting from the blues intro with harmonica and a psychedelic post-rock aftershow with double drummers and a shoegazian Zonda being pointed as a Michale J Fox on acid at the end of his rock performance on Back To The Future's Enchantment Under The Sea.

Well. Beside that last moment of the show (that lasted quite 20 minutes so far) (there's a bit took from Matt Share) the whole show was filmed by Luca. Thank you Luca!

Here's the news.

The White Tides

"They say there’s a certain kind of rum that you’ll have the chance to taste only in the worst bars in Caracas. Still Caracas is the Latin America’s most expensive City. Strange, isn, it? As strange as Mark Zonda and Mic Leffe playing in a small Italian town after midnight in a small place nearby a river..."

Tiny Tide, dal vivo

A New Tiny Round

LaVigna it’s not a big venue for sure, but what’s fun in playing there it’s its great acoustic, due to the fact that everything in there is surrounded by… wood! I really enjoyed playing with Tiny Tide in there, especially because sounds were great indeed and suitable for an acoustic punk act and me and the mates played at our best, with the exception of my voice, that was quite completely gone.

After a former member who lasted one month and a half in the band crawled over Cling (my acoustic guitar) after 4 rounds of sake, we were thrilled and ready to begin. The “Intro - Kitty Jesus - The Psychopath At The Club - Ginger Genie” sequence is becoming my favourite part of the show! I was really glade to show our fan the live version of “AAA”, that’s actually my favourite song to play so far. I think the best part of the show was when Manuel started to take a seat in the audience playing from their perspective and we started to imitate him, with me jumping over the chair to end the song. After we were unexpectedly called to an encore (the show was quite long) there was even an “aftershow” with the formed sake member at the drums and Dendrix going heavymetal. A sweet night to remember.

We Are Pressed

Da non so quale quotidiano locale.

"Cesena. Al Circolo La Vigna di Porta Santi di Cesena va in scena questa sera alle 21 la band dei Tiny Tide, gruppo dedito a un indie pop vissuto spensieratamente. Presentano i più recenti lavori "The Ronta EP" del 2008 e "The Wildheart" del 2009. Una formazione che si è fatta le ossa affiancando dal vivo vari gruppi internazionali e italiani. La loro "Girl from Ronta" è coraggiosa e invoglia al buon umore; un pop trascinante e coinvolgente che dà energia. Il pezzo nel 2008 è entrato in una compilation internazionale edita dalla spagnola Bon Vivants Records. Nel 2009 i Tiny Tide hanno collaborato con Fabio Benni dei Le Man Avec Les Lunettes a una cover, mentre Mark Zonda ha collaborato con l'americana Marilyn Roxie al suo primo ep "Earth".

Labelling

Tiny Tide backcatalogue (and hopefully forthcoming one) goes to * drrrrumrrroll * Vulpine Records, USA. More details soon...

TS+TC

Facebook is the drug.

Yesterday I was so surprised when a bloke replied to a thread right with "it recalls semantica". It was clearly a chinise whisper for our track The Smiths & The Cure "rings bells on semantic calls". After I pointed out that the early version of that part was "not Belle & Sebastian", I was asked why I haven't left everything to make of pop music my only occupation.

Made me glad! That's why I packed a "TS+TC anthology" just for you!

You can download it... here!
