FRATELLI D’ITALIA
super group
Fratelli D’italia. straight from the heart with the hits and pure gold. leaving it all behind, searching for more as they leave hordes of young ladies and their men in tears. Their voices can still be heard circling around the void left in every ones heart since they last been seen or heard. If blue skies are turning grey in your world, then you need this. 4 basses, 1 drum, 2 voices, some friends and a trumpet. Punch drunk your soul with love and the best there is…
Featuring members of Godspeed You Black Emperor! Le Fly Pan Am, Set Fire To Flames, One Speed Bike, Exhaust, Ex-Tricky Woo, Starving Hungry, The Unicorns, Clues and Do Makes Say Think / Lullaby Arkestra.
Come love us…
GUH
This GUH is the one that came out of a house in Toronto in what might be known as 1991.
There was one then there were four people then there were six then there were nine and then there were four again. Now there are countless numbers that have heard GUH and never realized it (Feist’s rhythm section, Apostle of Hustle’s bass, Rock Plaza Central’s and Sandro Perri’s drums, Do Make Say Think’s horns…GUH).
The earliest tape called “Indurge Gwah”(1992) questioned just what it was that Europeans were doing and a subsequent tape, “Fanky Baby Madstar”(1993) featuring a quietly expanding GUH wondered at Japanese forms of expression. The summer of 1994 left a mess of memories on this band and it released 3 CDs at once plainly calling them “GUH”(1995).
Now people wondered about them….
Wherever there was busking and dancing and milling about in crowded public spaces there was GUH. In silent movie houses and airport arrival lounges and in the quiet of a Northern Ontario wilderness there was GUH too.
They hit up the provincial government and released “Flog”(1997) with the band swelling to 21 members on the title track to deliver an account of the washing of the waves and their great effect on all things considered great.
“We are Sunburning”(1999) recalled years of toiling in the out of doors and led GUH on a slow crawl through British Columbia’s Gulf Islands during June and July of 1999.
The command to “Live GUH”(2000) was the surprising result of that tour and that is just what they’ve done since remembering to.
Now there has been another intense outburst. “Unearthed” shuddered into plain view in the early summer of 2009 so please enjoy yourselves and listen closely to your friends and wonder if they are in GUH.
