A nice chat with…Turnpike Glow

Devo ammetterlo: quando finalmente ho avuto il piacere di conoscerli (virtualmente), ho pensato che Sandro e Giuseppe avrebbero dovuto cimentarsi anche in un pò di sano cabaret, oltre che nel fare musica. La realtà è che sono due ragazzi molto, ma molto, simpatici e con un pò di sana “ciccia musicale”. Cresciuti negli ambienti romani …

Loro sono i Casa del Mirto, gruppo trentino nato nel 2005 e composto da Marco Rossi, Mirko Marconi (in uscita dal …

Let’s get to know…Yuck

“Siamo una band, ci piace comporre canzoni e suonarle in giro e Yuck è il nostro primo album”. Quale migliore spiegazione poteva darmi Daniel, (con un’interruzione vicino al Colosseo, per esclamare “Oh, it’s amazing“) per chi non abbia ancora sentito parlare degli Yuck? Tutto fila, in fondo.
