Forthcoming Album on Shelflife Records Features Terry Bickers on Guitar Produced by Ian Catt (St Etienne/Field Mice etc)...The Proctors were formed by Gavin Priest in 1993 following the demise of The Cudgels in which Gavin had been lead guitarist. The Proctors also feature ex-Cudgels Adrian 'Josef' Jones and Stephen Davies on drums and bass guitar respectively. The Line-up was completed by Gavin's sister Christina who shared vocal duties with Gavin. The group recorded a well received demo tape which led to Albert of Sunday Records (USA) offering to release a 7" single by the band. 'The Baby Blue EP' was released in 1993. The single sold well and impressed by Gavin's songwriting skills, Albert asked The Proctors to commence work on an album. Around this time Stephen took some time out, and the band settled down as a three piece. In 1994 the Moon Song 7" was released and various appearances were made on Sunday Records compilations over the next three years until in 1996 the album 'Pinstripes and Englishmen' was released. Again the record sold well and the band had begun to attract a small but loyal following, even though they have never played a live show. In 1997, Gavin's involvement with other musical projects left little time to concentrate on The Proctors and the group decided to take a break. Following the release on Cloudberry Records in 2009 of an EP of unreleased songs, The Proctors started work on some new recordings. The new songs will be posted once they are ready. The original line-up of Gavin, Adrian and Stephen are working on the new material, but unfortunately due to now living in Scotland, Christina is unable to join them. 

Brooklyn-based band led by Ellis Ludwig-Leone.

FUZZ ORCHESTRA mixes heavy rock sounds with a fluxus of analog noises and a narrative layer build up by voice samples borrowed from old movies and documentaries. Lots of forgotten masterpieces lie in the vast sea of the cultural production from the past, and some of their voices are still true today.
Every FUZZ ORCHESTRA album uses these voices to tell his own tales and stories: “Fuzz Orchestra” (2007) was about some of Italy's most infamous moments of its contemporary history: fascism and late 60's/70's State terrorism; “Comunicato n°2” (2009) gives voice to those who tried to revolt against the inhuman capitalist world order. “Morire per la patria” (2012), which sees the entry of Paolo Mongardi (ZEUS! - Three One G Recordings, Jennifer Gentle - SubPop) on drums, describes and critizes different ways of “Dying for your own Homeland”, from the defense of the borders during the war to the selling of one's soul to gain power and material richness.
Our new record, “Uccideteli tutti, Dio riconoscerà i suoi”, tells tales of Revelation, Judgement and Choice; it takes you through different kind of Apocalypses: social ones, personal ones, profanes ones and sacred ones.
“Uccideteli tutti, Dio riconoscerà i suoi” also takes Fuzz Orchestra's music to a new level, putting together heavy rock patterns with contemporary music scores written by Enrico Gabrielli (Mike Patton's Mondo Cane, PJ Harvey and many more).

I Gronge sono quelli che hanno partorito nell’arco di una decina d’anni centinaia di esibizioni live, prodotto 6 vinili e un cd (tecnopunkabaret) che finiva per diventare capostipite di un vero e proprio genere art noise punk electro rock, teatral grottesco. I Gronge sono decine di musici, attori improvvisati e non, video maker, poeti e varie tipologie umane. Poi si fermano, e poi ricominciano..
