THE CAPTAIN CREW live in Milan: SAETTA @ Apollo Dancing (10-10-09)
45 GIRI FILM 2009 FESTIVAL: 2 fantastic little films on a song from Capt Mantell
Sounds Like
"Into The Cockpit EP e' un viaggio alla velocita' della luce, schivando missili spaziali e pistole laser.
sofisticatissimi brani in bilico tra l'electro e la new-rave, tra i Rockets e i Sigue Sigue Sputnik,
col fine di rendere l'esibizione dal vivo una vera e propria dancehall."
Rockit 01/09
"Sopra una batteria dal suono umano scivolano una miriade di suoni sintetici
cibernetico spaziali che come un fiume in movimento
danno continuamente freschezza e colore ai pezzi e con essi ti lasciano divertire,
il giusto equilibrio che riesce a dare un sapore moderno a uno stile
che si lega saldamente al passato (New Order, Devo, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Bluvertigo)"
Music Club n192 02/09
"I Captain Mantell sembrano i sottovalutati Zoot Woman alle prese
con i watt dirompenti della new rave made in UK.
Con uno sguardo al centro Europa"
Nerdz Attack 02/09
"Tra i Devo, gli anni 80, gli Orgy e gli U2 di Mofo l'ensemble incontrera' sicuramente
un numero maggiore di sostenitori in uscita dalle angustie del mainstream club rock"
ChioggiaLab/Radio Sherwwod
"Long Way Pursuit"
LISTEN AND BUY ON iTUNES NOW
The first space LP from CAPTAin MANTell
A mix of punk attitude, robotronik machines and sweet pop melodies.
Rough space atmosphere... a realistic vision of the cosmic future!
+The final flight of Captain Thomas F. Mantell Jr. is considered as the first human death attributed to a UFO+
The latest Captain Mantell's LP "Rest In Space" is ready!
The official release for Hypotron / Irma Records in February 2010.
You can enjoy the preview "Into The Cockpit EP" from Circolo Forestieri (Out Now!!!) before the official LP release.
Two space videos are ready and waiting for your eyes...
The Italian trio (leaded by Tommaso Mantelli, homonym of Capt Thomas Mantell,
the first pilot dying chasing an UFO...) still mixes punk attitude with electronic machines, resulting deliciously pop anyway.
The space crew has been touring to promote the first LP Long Way Pursuit since 2007.
More than 100 gigs, sharing the stage with big artists as Chemical Brothers, Klaxons, Mouse On Mars, White Rose Movement, Icarus, Tito&Tarantula, Louie Austen, Freakatronic, Meg, Bugo, OJM, Amari, Atari, Ex Otago, LN Ripley, Werdisco, Low Frequency Club and appearing at the main music festivals in Italy (Heineken Jamming Festival, Neapolis Festival, Venetian Industries Festival, MEI) and club nights as Draft Punk Night - Bologna, Wah Wah Club - Venice, Amigdala - Rome, Saetta - Milan.
Radio and TV interviews and appearances on Rock Tv, Radio DJ - "Tropical Pizza", Radio Sherwood Padova, Radio Onda d'Urto Brescia, Radio Base Venezia, Radio Popolare Bari and many college radios.
In 2008 Motorola (DE), Mercedes (DE) e Chevrolet (DE) use the single Sorry, I Love My B-Side for commercial aim.
The same song appeares on a Comma Fashion (DE) film and on a Weisse Arena (CH) video production.
The new album Rest In Space is to be released in February 2010 by Hypotron / Irma Records
