BPB were born in 2004. They live, work, act and think in Genova, on the north west coast of Italy.
BPB feature ex members of such differents acts, from Genova's underground indierock scene, as Lo-Fi Sucks!, Cary Quant, A New Angel Fades, Sea From Green, Tupatipe, Protected By The Local Mafia...
BPB shared stages with El Guapo, Experimental Dental School, Mae Shi, John.Wayne.Shot.Me, Karate, Xiu Xiu.
Debut CD, Arm Your Cameras has been recorded, mixed and mastered at the end of March 2005 at Fiscerprais Studio in Pontecurone (AL). The producer was Rico of Uochi Toki, who already recorded Bugo, Altro and Ovo.
BPB are just about dancing to krautrock beats with some singing and some screaming, as if it was some sort of post hardcore outfit.
BPB original mixture of sounds has been build up and took inspirations from years of booking and attending countless gigs, from hours of talks with musicians from all over the world in after shows hangovers and diy productions. They do not simply support the scene, but (at least in Genova) they gave a big, tireless and generous help in creating it. More info at http://www.disorderdrama.org
Matteo also runs the CDR label °Marsiglia° Records, that discovered lots of talented acts (Port Royal, En Roco, In My Room, K.C. Milian, Uber…). More Info at http://www.marsigliarecords.it
BPB supports all the Analog Devices and the Aged Computer crews.
BPB's songs cover many issue as different as dance and protest, friendship and secrets, self consciousness vs self confidence, always focusing on everyone's rights and duties.
AYC's cover concept and title are made up mixing the legendary figure of Balilla, a kid who started a riot throwing a stone against the Austrian Army in Genoa, 5/10/1746, with the media hero who threw his camera trolley at Italy's Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, 31/12/2004. Reclaim your media, DIY way!
AYC stickers were freely distributed and glued around Genova in January, street art meets self-advertisement.
In 2006 BPB played all over europe for twenty wonderful shows. UK, France, Germany, Netherlands and Slovenia. At the end of the year Federica and Alessandro left the band.
In February 2007 the Split 7" with Experimental Dental School, come out on Cragstan Astronaut. Two new songs, yet with the original line up of five.
Since early 2007 BPB are a three piece, drums, bassguitar and keys, consisting of Martino, Ela and Matteo.
2008 will see the recording and publishing of the new long playing record.

www.gratisclub.it - circolo arci ingresso riservato ai soli soci .. sabato 14 novembre MY AWSOME MIXTAPE aftershow TAVRVS djset super elettropop nightSi tratta di un progetto mutante, continuamente conteso tra gioco ricercato, liriche verbose e reportage umorale decadente. Da soprassedere perché troppo vicino ai modelli americani (Mush, Anticon, Plug Research) e/o berlinesi (Scape, Morr)? Troppo facile. Più gratificante è cercare le citazioni letterarie sparse (Lee Masters e Carver, oltre alla napoleonica corrispondenza d’amorosi sensi del titolo), crogiolarsi negli accenti patetici che lo costellano senza tregua, cogliere i numerosi intarsi naif dei fin troppo scriccioli brani, bearsi delle illogicità nelle introflesse strutture-canzone. ..
Ciao Volevo fare i miei piu' sinceri complimentoni alla vostra Emanuela per il pezzo "Mistake / ghost" nel nuovo album dei Japanese Gum! Tutto l'album e' molto bello ma quella canzone e' davvero un capolavoro, la mia preferita!
Tanti tanti tanti complimenti, davvero un pezzo stupendo!
Saluti anche agli altri specialmente a Mazzola! ^_^
