Figli di Madre Ignota, band from Milano, Italy. A wild bunch who plays an aggressive mix of mediterranean urban music, evil polkas, mutant klezmer, breathless tarantellas. Surfy electric guitars and a generous horn section, a Balkan brass section playing with a twangy rock combo. 

2014 – Bellydancer (GodzillaMarket)
Milano and Italy, Mediterraneo and Eastern Europe, different cultures and big cities. It is where we live. The “bellydancer” is an ideal epitome of these inspirations: Middle Eastern influences, Mediterranean traditions, urbanized life, the electrified skyline of the city lights: the “bellydancer” is an expression of a tradition and at the same time an attraction of the ethnic restaurant round your block, a concept (a suggestion) that can be placed wherever at will, disconnected from the context but still having its own identity and a strong connotation: a neon sign on an exchangeable background.
In this perspective, BELLYDANCER is a genuine snapshot of our shows, in which we favor the “indiscriminate danceable aggression”: if you like solid rock guitars, marble tough rhythm section, whether you like to dance or just sit on the couch, BELLYDANCER talks about lust, lust for sex, lust for food, lust for finding yourself lost in Istanbul, lust for being hungry, an urgent declaration of our Love for The Party.	
 
TOURS
Italia, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia: the band is well known for the breathtaking live shows, the spontaneous (and sometimes never ending) aftershows in the audience or with the local DJ with acoustic instruments, for the unstoppable self-irony and sparkly Italian temper.

Record: 

[EN] «I live in the public houses in Settimo Torinese, close to Turin. I have always lived here. On my bank account I have more or less 10 euros. I haven’t made this record for righteous dudes. For the recording, I used a 58 mic, a two-channels soundcard, a plastic MacBook and a broken acoustic guitar. In the middle of the production, settled some debts, through the first 100 euros available, I bought a Fender made in Kazakistan. In order to not weigh down the machine, I had to made a lot of ping pong mixes in an old school way. I made them directly on the L3, no way for Stems (and I didn’t go too far, otherwise something similar to Skrillex would have come up). In writing the songs, putting a big effort and determination, I tried to be as authentic as possible, without imitating anyone, without any bluff. And all I said so far I am sure is the strength of this work. Enjoy the music. End».

[IT] «Vivo alle case Gescal di Settimo Torinese. Vivo qui da sempre. Sul mio conto corrente avrò 10 euro. Questo disco non l’ho fatto per i giusti. Ho registrato il disco utilizzando un microfono 58, una scheda audio a due canali, un MacBook di plastica ed una chitarra acustica sfondata. A metá lavorazione, saldati un po’ di debiti, con i primi 100 euro disponibili, ho comprato una Fender made in Kazakistan. Per non appesantire la macchina ho dovuto fare alla vecchia molti ping pong mix. I mix li ho fatti direttamente sull’L3, altro che Stems (e non ho esagerato, altrimenti facevo Skrillex). Nella scrittura dei brani, con grande sforzo e determinazione, ho cercato di essere il più autentico che potevo, senza imitare e senza bluff. Ed é in tutto ciò che ho detto fin qui che mi son convinto stia la forza di questo lavoro. Buon ascolto. Fine».
