sunday

mr no way

there's a mixtape with my all time favs HERE.

i was checking my old HD and just found this video of me playing mr no in my old bedroom in torino early in the morning (you can tell from my voice).

mixing my new record right now. i'm so excited!

banjo interview here. also check www. differentclassradio. co. uk ... they play some good music and my stuff! :-)

both XL and Wichita tip banjo for 2009 on drowned in sound. hypeing myself makes me feel like i make sense.

so that you know:
- the covers CD is SOLD OUT!!
- the single IS NOT. i think no pain in pop has some copies left. you can order it from their website WWW.NOPAININPOP.COM
i've realized lots of my friends have been downloading my 7". outrageous. goddammit. buy it! :-)

been away

so... i've been away for a while. lots of stuff happening. my first single is finally out. it is apparently going really well. i've heard lots of nice words about it which made me really happy. the single launch at white heat was really good too. thanks a lot to matty, tom and tom, richard and patrick, a grave with no name, radiant dragon and everyone who came down. and, of course, daniel 'lo strato'!! it was nice to do my single launch at white heat. that's were i played my first show 14 months ago. it was quite romantic. like completing a circle... anyway, here some AWESOME photos from the night. right now i'm recording the vocals for the next record. it will be a 12" with 4 songs and a remix i think. yeah, infact some amazing people are remixing mr no.
some london shows coming out and i will tour when the 12" is out. i think it should be out march/april.
if you go HERE you can listen to the 7" and two unreleased banjo songs (an old song called 'dear me' and my first and probably only song in itailan EVER).
