After many years of producing both indoor and outdoor live music events up and down the UK we have come to settle in the musical melting pot that is Brighton. Putting on independent events, collaborations and acting as booking agent for The Gladstone Brighton.

Self described as “suicide pop”, their debut album “Oh Unhappy Bella” is the narrative of a boy and his sombre, twisted journey through love with a girl who never existed -- none of the dark bits removed. “Suicide pop isn’t a glorification of sadness or anything like that,” says Johnny Glass. “These things happen, we’ve all been through something horrible and this was our way of putting that into song through the vehicle of someone else’s story.” 

That story was Sidney’s (Kauffman): “I spent a whole summer doing menial work painting fences and out of that mind numbing abyss has come this whole project, the story, everything.” All the work has been done in the shadow of their redbrick dwelling in a little outbuilding they’ve recreated as an amateur studio. “It’s all we ever wanted, just a little room to play about in and make some tunes,” says Tommy Cowley. “Only this time we had a story and a concept”. 

Utilising the DIY ideals laid down by the punk generation before them, RA! have made a point of making this project an entirely self-made operation. Everything from producing, to mastering, to graphics has all been the work of a select coterie of friends and co-conspirators. And now they’re ready to share this less-than-gleeful project with the world, in the hope that - ironically - it might just put some smiles on people’s faces.

Hi, my name is Danny Silvestri, born and raised in Southampton, U.K. 
Noisy and big nosey drummer boy, playing in bands for most of my life. 
I have an immense love of music of all styles and genres! However I find electronica music gives me the opportunity to be the most creative artist I can be, there are no limits beyond those in your imagination, anything is possible and I hope this is indicated in the music I have uploaded to this site!

All the tracks are created through mobile phone app, Uloops, a long while ago, but I have released some more recently, through garage band, so, although I warn you not to expect too much, I sincerely hope you enjoy nonetheless!

dogpockets!
