Bye Bye 2012!

Ladies and gentleman, thank you for an amazing year, our album Call It Blazing came out at the end of 2011, so it was really 2012 that brought it alive. We played over 120 shows in the last 14 months, went to Canada, Spain, United States, Poland, Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland... more than 80000 kms. Thanks for coming to those shows, you made our day and basically our year. We played festivals, released a 7" single and danced just about everywhere. There are many more places we would like to visit, so see you soon. Thanks to those people that helped us out this year and believed in us: Lefse Records, Tannen Records, La Tempesta, Covo Club Records, Ground Control Touring, Locusta Booking, The Glass Agency and Ganglians, Cloud Nothings, Okkervil River and British Sea Power for being great road warriors and companions. See you in 2013 and remember kids, the song is called FOREVER BOY.

Coming soon

Alright!

Last Call It Blazing show

So mark September 29th on your calendar, it will be probably our last show of the Call It Blazing tour and it's a hometown show at Covo Club in Bologna. Then we are going to start writing writing writing. But before that come back here soon, 'cause we did record two gems this summer and you'll hear more about it in a few days. Be safe.

Always Forever Eternal Tour

Here comes the road. Well the road has never really stopped coming. After our North American tour we've been deep in the heart of Italy playing a bunch of shows that will continue all summer. This week we also head out to Spain and France. It will be a pleasure to play in Madrid, Vigo, Bordeaux and in Clermont-Ferrand. This last show is at the impressive Europavox festival. You want to know when and where we will be in a city close to you? Just look over on the left side. Bye cats.

Forever Boy - North American Tour

Hello magic!


We are on the road and currently enjoying the heat in Florida but we had to share something beautiful with you that just arrived!
A new video, or should we rather say movie for Forever Boy. 
It was shot in the Comacchio valleys, at the mouth of the River Po, one of Italy's most extraordinary landscapes, we were there with our gang, knocking out a wonderful day, living life. Most of all it shows a dream, the dream of Giovanni Collina, a 70 year old italian biker racer who use to compete in the 60's for Moto Morini's team. Mr Collina has stayed the same all these years. He's there always riding his bike to this day. It was directed and filmed by Opificio Ciclope.

Our longest TOUR ever that will bring us all over North America has just started. We're happy to be on the road with some of our fav bands, most dates are with Cloud Nothings, and another part is with the mighty Ganglians. Check out the shows over on the left.

Come down and say hi, spread the word and be safe.
See you around!

Baby, It's Fine VIDEO

We have something we want to show you today.
Baby, It's Fine has now become a vision, a movie, a video. It was directed and filmed by the great Jamie Harley and stars the lovely Marion Ottaviani. It also features the photography of Aline Diépois & Thomas Gizolme. Shot in the streets of Paris and on the seaside of Le Havre. It does show everything we wanted to say in this song, all is inside this video. Hope you enjoy!
