Didn't know where else to put this
O.k so there I was enjoying the second half of my holiday with the family in Italy, in a tiny town called Oria, at the bottom near the heel, when I spot this poster on the wall for some some local gigs
I thought I know that name, had seen it on the Transmission site http://transmissionrecords.co.uk/shop/la-batteria/ and had listened to the album, which was bloody good - surely they can't be playing all the way out here. I must find out more! turned out it was in 2 days time in bar/pub 10 mins drive away.
I was going! For sure. The wife said said she would drive
We turned up at 10pm to find ourselves the only ones there apart from 'the band', although this was quite cool, also a tad embarassing. We chatted as they spoke English and my wife fluent in Italian helped. They were top guys and had vinyl, stickers and t-shirts, what more should a band have at a gig!!!
They were based in Rome and told my that the LP was not going to be released and was going to be a library record instead, not sure exactly what that meant but with the language barrier and my excitement seems less important to go into too much detail. I told them how pleased I was to have been able to see them live as it was only a few weeks prior I was listening to their album. I told them I would spread the word.
After 4 Leffe's later they hit the stage at about 11.20pm - the place was busy and a turn out they deserved, unfortunately had to leave before the end.
Have a look
