Polveri Di Pinguino

Stand By The Dream

A group that actively participated in the enhancement of the phenomenon defined garage revival!!! A full-blooded and granitic band, no frills, as evidenced by the tracks of this CD where you will not listen to songs in their official versions, but you will go back to their roots: the first self-produced single, but also the versions from demos recorded in situations that seem impossible today, characterized by an incredible urgency and abrasiveness. As they themselves said: When we recorded OPEN MY HANDS and ALABAMA SONG, we had already been part of a band for four or five years but had never been inside a recording studio: we were a band much before starting to play together, much before buying our instruments, much before learning how to tune them , we were a band whenever we went to all the concerts we could, when we even travelled by train just to go to buy our favourite records , just one each and then share the music-cassettes. The record consists, in addition to the single 7'', of the demo recorded in 1987 in a shed among vineyards with a Tascam 4 tracks-cassette, the same tracks, later re-recorded in studio, became part of the first self-titled LP of 1988 with the exception of "TRASH IT, BABY!", 'till now unpublished. Finally, there is the 1989 demo, whose songs, with the exception of "BACK TO ZERO", another unreleased absolute, were included in the last album (in different versions) before the break up of the group. The CD closes with four live tracks, (playing live being the optimal sphere of action of the band) recorded at the historical CSOA KRONSTADT in La Spezia. From Roberto Calabrò ' s notes: " .... it is the clear photograph of a band caught at the peak of its form. Another nugget coming out of an inexhaustible mine."
