TheseDays, the brief story of an emerging band.

What we do is to try merging beautiful melodies with impressive soundscapes, enabling an overall nice groove. Sometimes, we also succeed.
As it is evident from our mission statement, we have never taken ourselves as components of a rock band,too seriously. When we started out, eight years ago, it was just a funny pastime where five schoolmates gathered in a small, old, soundproof room to make some noise together. The drummer could barely hold the drumsticks in his hands, the guitarist could strum just a bunch of easy chords, the singer had already shown good potential at the time but his voice was still very green, then there was me, the bassist, definitely an early beginner. The only one who could really say something from his instrument was the keyboard player, coming out from seven years of backbreaking exercises on the piano. Things became more interesting a few years later, when we discovered that we were good songwriters, although not very skilled musicians. The recipe was very easy: the idea of a song comes out from any of us, and it can be a sequence of chords or a riff. Then, as soon as the structure of the song is clear to everybody, we skip to the arrangement phase, when the part of each instrument must be clearly defined and must match with the others. The lyrics are always left to the singer to be written and they deal with different themes. No surprise, love is the most common one, but in some songs, we coversubjects that are more introspective, and when they are accompanied with the right music, they can be moving.
Eleven fresh and unpublished songs is what we have and play right now, plus a bunch of covers that help us filling the time gaps during a long gig. The most difficult thing for a band of newbies such as ours is to be“seen”and recognized on the web. It is true that today we have several means of distribution to spread our music in a way that was unthinkable only few years ago (like with social media) but it is true as well that the quantity of emerging bands is massive, and finding a place in the listeners’ heart is a very tough task. Playing in each available place in the city is the most direct and effective way to be known by new people; and that is what we are up to right now!
