The Infoiatis is an Italian surf, garage and instrumental duo founded by the guitarist Paolo Ballone and the drummer Maurizio Ficcca in Bologna during 2008. The band first first line-up featured Paolo Ballone on guitar, Lorenzo Pelle on bass, Maurizio Ficcca on drums and Luca Porreca on organ and vibes. Their music was mainly influenced by various 60's surf, garage and R&B instrumentals compilations like Las Vegas Grind, Frolic Diner, Surf Creatures, Riot City and artists/bands like Bo Diddley, The Frantics, Link Wray, The Rumblers, The Revelers, The Pyramids. The Infoiatis made their first "live in studio" recording in 2008 using an Eko Cobra guitar, an Eko 775 bass, an Eko Tiger organ and other cheap vintage equipment. The Infoiatis decided to call their demo "Eko Sessions" but a few months later the release, Luca and Lorenzo left The Infoiatis. Paolo and Maurizio didn't stop playing together and went ahead composing and recording new original instrumentals in studio using overdubs and introducing new LO-FI, ska, exotica, psychedelic and 80's garage revival influences on The Infoiats' sound. On April 2010, The Infoiatis published their new self-produced demo "Deep Jungle Safari".
