Concert and Music Video Release – Ohibò, Milano

We’ve been working hard this month getting ready to play this next concert at Circolo Arci Ohibò in Milan, this Friday 28th September. We’ve got Alessio on the drums as usual, and we’re joined by Tommaso playing keys and doing some backing harmonies as well.

It’s not just our usual concert however, because we are finally ready to release our new music video. We worked with Viola Barbato, who also directed the last video of Il Genio (Tahiti) and we are so happy with the final product. It’s not your usual music video, so stay tuned, or if you are in Milan, come and see it Friday. Ohibò has a big screen!

Focus, focus!

We’re trying hard to remain focussed and working hard while it’s so hot here in the south of France. There are too many big lunches and bottles of rosé vying for our attention, but that is balancing out with lots of healthy countryside walks.

On the up side, we’ve just about written four new songs since we’ve been here and we are getting closer and closer to being able to release all the new material for our new album.

One more week here:

It’s so nice I could quite easily be tempted not to return to Milan for another week, month … till Christmas?!

Just when you thought it was safe …

… to go on a 3 day pizza and red wine binge, the director calls and tells you she needs a little bit more Lara Croft up near Lake Como to finish the video. Spoiler, yes? Well, you’ll see.

So this week will involve a little more filming as well as a morning in the studio for rehearsal. We’re looking forward to playing again after so much time out with recording and mixing and all that jazz. We’re writing again already, and should have some new songs in our live set before you’ve even heard this new album…

A presto

Shooting the breeze …

We had a very long day of filming yesterday for the new video clip, but what a lot of fun.  I can’t wait to see the results.

I could get used to this kind of treatment.

The sun held out just enough for us, and the mosquito’s were in full force.

Great job & huge thanks: Viola, Nicolo, Valentina, Martina, Keith, Marco …

It’s all on for tomorrow…

… the make-up artist has arrived from Tuscany, the lights and camera are booked and ready, two 3,000 euro dresses have been borrowed from an unnamed fancy pants fashion house here in Milan…

and tomorrow we are shooting the music video for the new album.

I don’t want to give too much away yet, but we’re in need of some sunshine north of Milan tomorrow!
