TUBAX BIOGRAPHY
Active since 2007 Tubax are a veritable dirty‐electro experiment of prog and funk, a wise mix oftechnique and raw dance floor groove.
Armed with drums, bass and synth, this trio from Bologna gives life to a breathtaking live set, where
the rhythmic frenzy and the hypnotic intertwining of melodies seem to be drawn from a psycho,
surreal, metropolitan imaginary, reminding of a space action videogame soundtrack or a visionary
background for a cyberpunk comic. Keep still or take eyes off the stage is impossible. Their first
homonymous demo was recorded in Bologna in the historic Magazzeno studio, head quarter of the
Mariposa and Trovarobato label, which in 2008 asked Tubax to represent the Tutta Roba Marca
project on Indipendulo stage at M.E.I. (Meeting Etichette Indipendenti ‐ the most important annual
meeting of italian independent labels). In 2009 they were placed second in the national MArte Live
contest; in the same year, the Nonnetto Coatto Giga Bar Taboga 20 troupe realized in only 45 hours
the videoclip of “I topi non avevano nipoti” tune, winning the 45 Giri Film Festival 2009 edition.
In 2011 the roman label Megasound released Tubax’ album “Il mondo stava finendo”, which includes
both a reinterpretation of old demo tracks and new unreleased tunes and features musicians (Enrico
Gabrielli, Music for no movies..) coming from widely different scenes, who have introduced
wide‐ranging new atmospheres and sound.
Giacomo di Paolo and mixed by Andrea Suriani.
In September 2011 and then in 2012 Tubax, together with the roman group Tribraco, went on a
one‐month concert tour in the United States, spanning from the Mid West to the East Coast. They
delivered their music to some of the biggest cities in the world (New York, Chicago, Boston, Detroit…)
and they played with Tim Dalh and Kevin Sheehan from Taliban in New York.
In 2013 they took part to the Match&Fuse festival by playing at Vortex in London. Then, together with
WSP (UK) and OWLS (POL), they embarked on a European tour through Britain, Poland and Italy. At
the same time they started to work on “Governo Laser”. The album was recorded in 7/8 months by
In 2014 they had the chance to find out that Russians are unexpectedly fond of their music. No doubt
thus that they are going to do this amazing Russian experience again in the next future.
In 2015 “Governo Laser” is finally released. The album is being launched at Locomotiv Club on April
th 10and will be followed by a promotional tour, which will start from Italy to land to Russia, Europe
and the United States.
After Crash
Bolognesi con base a Londra, Δfter Crash sono Francesco Cassino (anche Comakid da solista) e Nicola Nesi (aka Everlasting Joy): sono musicisti e producer che in questo progetto esprimono un’anima poetica, fresca e contemporanea.
Il processo creativo è in costante ricerca di nuovi approcci sonori che fondono elementi acustici ad atmosfere elettroniche sperimentali muovendosi tra downtempo, derivazioni glitch e bass, sonorità intimiste, ambient, post-rock, ispirazioni appartenenti al mondo delle colonne sonore, musica applicata, musica orchestrale e detriti pop tradizionali.
Il loro live è estremamente evocativo, una creatura audiovisiva capace di toccare molte corde attraverso una molteplicità di suggestioni create con l’interazione di strumenti suonati dal vivo, come batteria/percussioni e chitarre, insieme all’utilizzo di software, controller e macchine analogiche e con l’ausilio di visual concepiti appositamente per i nuovi arrangiamenti live dei loro brani originali.
Sono co-fondatori dell’etichetta Museek Record Label e compongono musica per sonorizzazioni dalle diverse applicazioni. Il loro progetto non è esclusivamente musicale, ma è alla base di un’esperienza più vasta ispirata all’amicizia, agli ideali, alla filosofia e a tutto ciò che rende la vita degna di essere vissuta.
