Bad Coburns

Hard-Rock from Italy

Killer in disguise Bad Coburns
  • Killer in disguise

Bad Coburns is a rock band based in the northern Italy. From the end of 2018, the project quickly evolved from a sort of jam session between old friends, to a band driven by true rock n roll hunger, writing original material, thanks to the energy and ideas brought in by new members.
The band takes some cues from iconic 70s hard rock sounds and blends it with modern rock elements and fresh inspiration, heavy hard rock guitar riffs, with the addition of some bluesy, psych and even stoner sounds, and the band’s current sound is constantly evolving.
Settled on the name of “Bad Coburns” as a tribute to the actor James Coburn, who starred as the “villain” of many westerns, to represent that idea of dirty, ballsy and in your face rock n roll.
The debut single “Killer in disguise” and the self-released eponymous EP, was released in 2021.

Band Members: Umberto Zigiotti (guitar) • Adalberto Bellini (guitar, vocals) • Matteo Minacapilli (bass) • Massimo Di Rocco (drums, vocals)

The Guy From The Hills

Folk / Blues from Italy

Poor Black Mattie The Guy From The Hills
  • Poor Black Mattie

Il progetto The Guy From The Hills ha origini lontane ma si concretizza sul finire del 2018 ed è la celebrazione di un amore viscerale per il blues più scarno, crudo, primordiale.
Dopo anni passati a suonare con diverse band ho deciso che dovevo assecondare il bisogno di intraprendere un viaggio più intimo e personale. Così ho costruito una wine box guitar ed ho selezionato un repertorio composto da brani di grandi personalità del Delta blues, Hill country blues e folk, oltre che ad alcune composizioni originali.
The Guy From The Hills è una chitarra, una voce e qualche storia da raccontare

Honey Bizarre

Lagrange Game Honey Bizarre
  • Lagrange Game

Honey Bizarre are the rebellious theremin player Gilda Razani and the keygod Hanzō Wanning, flying through the universe in their spaceship, longing for freedom and improvisation; always in search of new adventures and unusual sounds that make the world dream and dance.
They take you on an energetic sound journey through the great symphony of the world with cinematic sound paintings, thrilling rhythms and haunting melodies and the sky is deep, dark, heavy and sweet!
Gilda Razani is one of the few theremin players performing worldwide. Born in Iran, she shapes the invisible electronic field between the two antennae of the ether wave instrument with dancing grace. In addition to her classical playground, she uses electronic effects to create sounds that are modelled on her inspiration Jimi Hendrix with an electric guitar-like sound. She also uses instruments such as the pipe from somasynths, kaosspad, soprano saxophone and aerophone.
Hanzō Wanning enjoys composing, producing and improvising a broad stylistic spectrum of modern music, using piano, synthesiser and a variety of electronic devices in his own unique way.
Together they have composed several albums for their bands Sub.vision and About Aphrodite, film scores and radio plays for west german broadcasting Cologne and founded the sound branding agency Honeysounds.
On their intergalactic journeys, Razani and Wanning land in special places to perform, be it at festivals, in concert halls, in the theatre or at art exhibitions, at events, in the mountains, on the street or in other universes.
