Our unique show is the result of a long and in-depth study of the various musical expression relating to Genesis. It is important to point out that we have particularly focused our attention on the typical sound and rhythms relating to the year in which progressive rock held a key position in the international music scene.
THE STORY
The Band start to play just on 1974 with experience of the keyboard player Massimo Metalli and Ugo Cosentino (in that time playing bass), naturally with the rock influence of that period. But the band start to have continulty on 1977 with the entry of the actual bassman Giampiero Sparagna and moving on Ugo Cosentino to drum. The first session are based from Deep Purple, Grand Funk etc.....
The new quintet was born in 1978 playing first Genesis songs and, after some years, Funk and Fusion music until to produce own music. Remained in three on 1987, the band find the realization of the actual group with the guitarist Giovanni Barbati, coming from professional experience with other band like (Officina Meccanica and Stazione Termini), but in pause in that period. The band, at this point, is dedicated to various cover up to 1994 thats begin a definitive "GENESIS COVER-BAND". During 2001 the band meet Antonello Bitocchi singer of another roman cover-band called Squonk, and with him the band is now more complete.
