I Got A Violet, what else do you need?
My dears,
it’s so easy for me to talk about I Got A Violet, because their music helps me to rebel to boredom and (this is less important for sure) to work more efficiently.
You can smell autumn coming, you can see brown becoming the king of colours and when darkness is wrapping everything around you…it’ s the right time to listen to ‘backwash’, I Got A Violet’s first album.
This band from Rovigo(more or less)is now working on the second album, but I’m sure it will be a great one, ‘Priest Pube’, ‘Swing Swang’ and ‘First mon’ (songs you can find in player and you will listen to with a smile on your face) mix the classical seventies sound with an original and fresh approach.
Tomorrow you’ll wake up singing one song of these tunes, I’ve no doubt…don’t worry, it’s best way to start your tiring routine, have a good day!!!
Stay tuned

MANHAN - Japanese roots music in Italy soon!
The Japanese duo will be our host and play around
Dear friends,
after a lot of work, we have the chance to know, meet, see and, above all, listen to one of the bands we contacted and dealed with in the past. I'm talking about Manhan, a Japanese ethnic improvisation duo - you're listening to some of their songs - that we're going to host in Italy from September the 28th until October the 6th.
The musicians that are part of this band are Hikari Soma and Miura Ici-go. They play bells, percussions, bamboo sax & bamboo flute, guitar, tuning forks and many other traditional Japanese instruments. The latter ones are massively used in Manhan live gigs, which are based on sampling and looping the sounds of tradition, mixing them together in a new, modern way.
Don't lose the chance to see them live in Italy. At present date we're defining the complete list of their gigs, which will be between Venice and Padua neighborhoods. Contact us or follow the blog during the next weeks to have more news about Manhan Italian live shows. We really hope you'll enjoy with us these exciting, really particular live acts... Music is about feelings, and the way these feelings are shared and transmitted. Discovering new and different (coming from so faraway places...) ways these feelings can be told is something that make us better people...
Stay in touch,
Carlo Trevisan
