AmyCanBe
Amycanbe hail from Italy. Originally comprised
of Marco and Mattia, they formed in 2002 but
actually started as a four-piece in 2005, after
Francesca and Paolo
joined. After
the first live performances in clubs, theatres
and local bars, Amycanbe recorded a
self-produced demo (Yellow Suit - EP) with 5
songs which attracted the attention of critics
and attained widespread success. Blow Up
magazine placed Amycanbe in the playlist of the
best debutant Italian indie band of the 2005.
The same year opened for Skin, Sophia, The
Devastations and Yuppie Flu. And played the Roma
Rock Festival stage. Their debut album 'Being A
Grown-Up Sure Is Complicated' was released in
October of 2007, produced by Mario Thaler, to
critical acclaim. This co-incided with a first
UK tour that saw the band playing in Leeds,
Bristol, Oxford and Sheffield, as well as the
album launch at 12 Bar in London., radio
sessions for the BBC, and a 2nd UK Tour that saw
the band having some highlights in glorious
music-venues such as The Borderline or Scala in
London, Komedia in Brighton, the Croft in
Bristol and The Gander in Bournemouth. Back in
Italy...the brilliant International Festival
called “Assalti Al Cuore” in Rimini wanted
Amycanbe for one gig that will be marked as one
of the greatest in the band's history...and
marked a new musical direction and the start of
their new project... After one year of intense
and succesfull gigs around Italy, the EP called
“The World Is Round” is finally out on 25th May
2011. Preceded by a new single and video called
“Everywhere”, receives a great feedback seeing
the band featured in important blogs and
magazines such as Listenbeforeyoubuy, The London
Music Blog and Kismet Magazine (7.1 Milion
readers worldwide) and the video played on MTV
New Generation, VIVA and many others... The long
waited brand new album "Mountain Whales" is out
on late October 2011. |
