OUR HISTORY

Everything began when Franz left his old band. He didn't want to sing anymore. And it was a pity. And who has listened to him, knows what I am talking about.
It is not easy and simple to create a new band. It's more difficult than you can think to find that alchemy that makes people understand each other with a glimpse, that  makes of simple group a band.

And so, in January 2006 Franz and I found ourselves talking about it. Two opposite factions. He was thinking of dropping the idea of singing again. Me, I firmly believed in the potentialities of his voice: deep, raw, able to stir up emotions... practically Blues.

And so, little by little, perhaps only to please me, Franz began to think about a new band again. Day after day, evening after evening, the slogan is always the same:
 

A well defined plan began to take shape; it lacked only the components to make it start. We began to look for the components of the group.

As in every band that is taking shape, in the beginning people come and go. You must  try, listen, feel, see, but above all everybody must have the same goal.
Paolo and Stefano arrive almost immediately, and, strange to say there is immediately a feeling among the components. Andrea joins the group, perhaps the most hesitant one, but with great possibilities.
Angelo stays for a short time, but his contribution has been important.

What with one thing and another, on February 16th, almost in mute we can count out the components of the group, a pianist is missing, but there is still time. But the name of the band is missing to..
Come on! Think!.. We need something, we can't have an anonymous band, we need the band, we need the blues, we.. we.. wait.. I have it right here on the tip of my tongue..
 

Yes, it sounds well, they like it, we like it!! Franz likes it above all, it's him, who has to reppresent the name of the band all over. After two months from our first chat in January, we can virtually drink to our new group.

The job has been frantic.. full of sleepless nights spent drawing, up the project, looking for the pieces.. listening to them to find texts and accords. Sending of emails, phone calls, sms, but finally everything is ok. The BrB can start!
In the end.. a swindle that seems to throw everything up: it is 5 days to the beginning and the there is no rehearsal room. No panic.  Franz and I are used to sleepless nights by now.
Just one  night and the rehearsal room is found.
Other emails, sms, phone calls..
The Blues Road Band finally starts.
