HERE ONLY REAL LISTENERS!

I'm a songwriter, self-taught musician, dj
and journalist (anyhow composin' !)

ALONE ...born in 1970, I began early to play piano, takin' cello lessons too. Then I left, but I reprise to study music when I was sixteen: piano, guitar and bass, mainly self-made. At the same time, I began to compose music: initially electronic and instrumental, then rock songs with lyrics in English, all alone.

THE BIKES. In my first band, The Bikes, torward the end of the '80, I played guitar: we did covers (mainly Pink Floyd and Deep Purple) and we practised in the back of keyboard player's bicycle shop (here the name of the band!) ...then we changed name in Alter Ego and finally, I left the band.

CRYSTAL BELL. In 1990, I reached the band Saskatchewan: I played bass and we did covers (mainly Doors and Rem) in the singer's home garage. Then the singer left and the rest of the band (me, the guitarists Marco Catarinolo and Federico 'Chicco' Intaglietta and the drummer Matteo Balloni) found another band: Crystal Bell. We did covers (Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Clash and Gary Moore) and some of my compositions like "Hurry up!" ...we tried two singers but finally I began to sing, playin' the bass, and Marco Catarinolo left the guitar for the keyboards. We practised in another garage with other bands and we performed some concerts too. Then, after few months, the band broke.

TRAUMA. I continued to play in that garage with the keyboard player and we played - me on guitar and voice, him on keyboards - my new songs: "One life movie's final frame", "Chinese trip" and "Moonish". For a while, the drummer Salvatore 'Toda' Corrao was with us. Then, Matteo Balloni returned and the bassist Gabriel Del Sarto arrived too but he couldn't play often with us, so finally we found another bassist: Matteo Bernabucci (then, the two bassists always alterneted). We decided to call the band Trauma. I wrote new songs, in Italian too ("Verso l'altrove" - "To the other side" in English -  and "Un fuoco e il buio" that is the italian version of "Moonish"), and I began to collaborate with the guitarist and songwriter Franco Rossi: together we wrote "La meta", "L'attimo" and "Cresce la tua idea" and he played lead guitar with us. We recorded all our songs in the  Music Hill Records studio at Ortola, in Massa (Tuscany - Italy). After a while, the band had a new lead guitarist: Alberico 'Chicco' Baldini.  We re-arranged all original songs and we added to our "playlist" italian covers too: Vasco Rossi, Litfiba, Timoria. We began an intense live activity, In 1993, we won the first edition of "Montignoso Music Festival". In the same year, the band recorded a new session in the Music Hill Records studio and after a while recorded the re-arranged original songs at the hotel Villa Mercedes, closed during the winter. The live activity continued and in the beginning of the 1994 I began to project a rock opera for the theatre, "Inseguendo un sogno", composing new songs. Then the band recorded two new songs "Rabbia" and "Inseguendo un sogno" (the main theme of the rock opera) at the Crystal studio in Montignoso (Tuscany - Italy). In '94 and '95 the live activity was very intense and the band was selected for one of the most important music contest in Italy, "Rock Targato Italia".  We re-arranged "Un fuoco a il buio" and I wrote new songs, "Eutanasia" and "Il cielo d'inverno", then we did the last recording session at the Loading Zone Studio in Frangola (Massa - Tuscany - Italy). Finally, the band broke in 1996 except for a reunion for the festival "Rock for Amnesty" at Baraonda (Massa - Tuscany - Italy) in '96.

DJ. As a deejay, I worked in some discos (The Crocodile, Baraonda and The Cave in Tuscany, Italy) and radios (RadioMilano5 and RadioStudioVersilia in Tuscany, Italy) 'til 1996 when I started my career in journalism.

ALONE AGAIN. From 1996 to today, while workin' as journalist, I continued to write songs, instrumental music, atmospheres. And I'll continue!

BIO
Fédéré autour de valeurs anticapitalistes et antifascistes, KillaSoundYard s'engage dans la production musicale avec une démarche militante. Ce groupe libertaire façonne un dub mêlant tonalités acoustiques et mélodiques profondes et rauques avec des programmations plus digitales, le tout nourri par des lyrics ancrées dans la réalité. Si l'influence du dub jamaïcain et anglais y est certaine, on peut également y déceler l'apport des musiques électroniques au travers des multiples effects et sonorités utilisés.
C'est sous la forme d'un collectif que travail KillaSoundYard pour enregistrer et mixer ses compositions. Autour d'un noyau de trois personnes - Kayaman, Drychus et Daman - viennent collaborer de nombreux musiciens de la scène reggae dub francilienne.

En 1998, 4 cousins montent un groupe, Les Bigoodies, pour tuer le temps dans les montagnes.Une fois arrivés à Toulouse, le skate sous le bras,  2 membres du groupe initial passent aux choses sérieuses, et s’allient avec le bassiste de Fecouffes Fifmiques pour continuer l’aventure.  Tous férus de punk-rock à la mode de Good Riddance, Strung Out ,A Wilhelm Scream ou autres Strike Anywhere, ils se rebaptisent The Fatswines.
Puis, un soir d’automne 2015 ils croisent la route de Mändy Boule chanteuse de feu Mändybowlz & The Turbosuckers, et décident d’explorer le chant féminin aux influences riot grrrl.
Le récent quatuor insuffle alors une nouvelle énergie dans un genre punk HxC aux accents Californien (du Sud Ouest ) avec des riffs percutants , parfois mélodiques.
En attendant les tournées européennes le groupe est enthousiaste de pouvoir partager leur fougue sur les scènes locale pour faire pogoter les foules.
