   About Dirty Trainload

Hello, I’m Bob Cillo, a blues guitar player from Bari, southern Italy and here’s my latest project, the “Dirty Trainload”.
What’s worth mentioning? Is there something that I’m interested to tell and you are actually interested to hear? Let’s see a possible list of FAQ.

How does it work?

The Dirty Trainload feature a skinny two piece line-up: I basically manage my guitar, a bottleneck, a loop station and some old analog drum machines while my friends Marco Del Noce or Martino Palmisano or Alexander De Large or italo-american singer Livia Monteleone from California do the rest. They play harp or other stuff and sing (mainly through the harmonica’s microphone). There is some live percussion work as well happening.

What do we play?

I'm a blues musician ever since I began more than 20 years ago and I love blues artists like John Lee Hooker, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Hound Dog Taylor, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Howlin’ Wolf and Hubert Sumlin’, or innovators like Alan Vega-Suicide, Gun Club-Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Stooges and I do believe that each everyone of them in some way influenced the music we are playing now.

What about the CD?

Last year we released "Rising Rust", our debut album. The reviewers spent plenty of kind words on it. The line up features Marco Del Noce from Rome on Vocals and Harp, it contains 9 tracks and it was recorded by Fabio Magistrali in his home. All tracks are live single take recordings with live vocals and a few instrumental overdubs. No editing work. No personal computer has been involved in writing, arranging, performing, recording and mixing. Awesome artwork by Benjamin Guedel from Zuerich, check his website www.guedel.biz or find him on myspace browsing in our top friends.

Anything making us go nuts?

Sure, getting called an "emerging band": we definitely are a submerged band.

Why are we in it?

Only for ourselves? Self-damaging behaviour? Yes, very likely that’s the case but, after all, still we are mad enough to hope that someone out there could love the stuff we play the way we do.

Are we promising you something?

Yes of course, a trainload of dirty blues!


My Space policies

1. We hate those kind of Freddy Mercury or U2 tribute bands; if you have one please keep away from here!
2. Please don't add us if you collect thousands of friends only to "become famous" or post silly comments with your picture on their pages; our page is not meant to be your showcase.
3. If you received a friendship request from us, that's why we meant to add YOU as our friend! Very likely we love what you are doing or thought that you may like our music! Daft?
4. No beautiful or sexy girl will be added here only because of her looks; if you just want to show your underwear your request is not welcome but, if you are around, your telephone number will!
5. We are not trying to speak like silly pop star wannabes (we are bluesmen, after all), but sometimes we really can't keep up all the friendship requests we are receiving the way we would like and so there's nothing personal if your request is not promptly accepted; please feel free to send a message!

Hi guys!
We finally have a chance to post some flyers for our new EP!! So...


The Squirrel Skin Slippers have a great new EP to soothe your skull and to put a large grin onto your mandables!!

Available in 10inch vinyl (for the ageing Fonzies), CD (for not-so ageing rockers), and iTunes (for the youngsters).

Buy a copy, tune in, relax, then put your hip out of joint while throwing drunken dance moves on your front porch to our Stomp'n'Roll Blues...
