Dunwich Rats

Here's again with Dunwich Rats, extreme country bluegrass band from Chicago.
Like their storytelling style, accordion always appears in every songs.

The girl who plays the violin is cute.
Apart jokes, album ends too fast and it's a pity.

Let's listen and wait for new stuff!

Brook Pridemore

Here's again with Brook Pridemore a folk punk artist. Really like his voice, his music makes me so positive.

 He plays everywhere and a lot and enjoy much doing it, said me (fortunately or unfortunately) he is not in with crust punk, anarcho-punk and other stuff like this, but we like him anyway.
Here are some pics of his live. Hope to see him in Italy one day.

I recommend a lot all of his works, some song is too deep, another makes you wanna travel all the world. 

Listen it please.

And stay tun(E)d for more more more news!

Pat Atho

Here's again with Pat Atho, a street musician of Italy. The bassist of the hardcore band Gli Ultimi plays a sort of storytelling acoustic punk WITH ACCORDION (because i love accordion) and I like so much!
Luckily I talked with him and this is what came out.

Me : Hi Pat Atho! Thanks for this opportunity! Would you like to talk about your project?

Pat Atho : My name is Simone aka Pat Atho , I started to submit some songs i wrote in the last years , outta my band's records , in september 2012.
The lyrics talk about my life , personal lyrics mixed to social anger , love words , sorrow ones , other about politics ecc.... by now i have no limits about writing songs .


Me : Do you think Italy is ready for street musicians maybe antifascist like you?

Pat Atho : I think it is possible but i don't see it happen .
As far as i can see there are other types of musicians , tied to pure esthetics or singing covers , i don't think i've ever seen story-tellers talking about everyday life at street corners … when it happens i really love it , more than one time i stepped down from the stage to play down on the street level , or straight on the sidewalk.
The managing is DIY at all , because there's no booking companies cehind me , just a phone , a pc and a notebook full of numbers .
Sure , i organize tours , i don't move without knowing , when i do is for pleasure , some unplanned gigs happen... i like to play anywhere , pubs , clubs , squats , streets , bookshops , stores , vans , private houses , at my house ….

Me : Tell us great news please!

Pat Atho : My first real Lp was released in 21st of january , a took it everywhere on tour in a month... i really love the sound.

Me : And in the future? What we have to expect?

Pat Atho : Projects are infinite , do not sleep at night . I'm planning and organizing various tours and dates with other people , for example Jenny Woo and Punkabbuskers , a session of a well-known Italian piece of music coverd with text dedicated to a well-known hero of Italian history , a tour with my girl carrying around a photo exhibition + live , a new group with trends punkrock rock / songwriting 70 years ....and then maybe a live album , various merchandising ...

I'll have ' much to do really!

Let the music feel for you..
