It was formed in Turin in 1996 by underground producer and Africa Unite guitarist Max Casacci and singer Samuel Romano, who also enrolled the keyboardist and long time friend Boosta, together with Ninja and, later, Bass Vicio to complete a straight forward and top notch rhythm section, whose nickname immediately was “an unidentified musical object”. On March 2011, after having released lots of successful albums (Subsonica, Mircrochip Emozionale, Amorematico, Terrestre, L’eclissi) and having awarded many international prizes, the band has launched the new album "Eden", which becomes a huge success shortly after opening at #2 in the Italian chart.

BIOGRAPHY: Michele Salvemini, known as Caparezza (that in Apulian dialet means "curly head"), was born in Molfetta on the 9th October 1973. He specializes in Avant-garde, Progressive and Experimental music, similar in style to Frank Zappa, who Caparezza considers his mentor. His four albums contain a plethora of emotions: anger, while at the same time desire of redemption, nostalgia, love, guilt, but especially a wish for change. This aspect is particularly evident in his first album "?!", published in 2000, where the artist disowns and nearly rejects his past, when he was called Mikimix, because he felt incoherent compared to his present self. After the albums “Verità Supposte”, “Habemus Capa” and “Le dimensioni del mio caos”, in January 2011 he published the first single from his fifth album "Il sogno eretico", entitled "Goodbye Malinconia", with a sold out series of his currently tour.

We could consider "Love & Revolution" essence as one of the most accurate portrayal of its creator’s intentions.
