Ciao!
domani 23 maggio ore 21,30, non perderti la presentazione del notro primo disco"Tunjà" all'Alcatraz di Milano in via Valtellina 25, 10 euro.

Inizieremo puntualissimi perché verremo trasmessi in diretta sul network di RadioPopolare (107,6) quindi, per acquistare i biglietti è meglio venire presto per non perdersi l'inizio, oppure acquistarli in prevenita su ticketweb. it.


Inoltre chi entra prima delle 23.00 e si fa "timbrare", ha diritto a rimanere anche dopo (alle 24.

00 c'è un altro concerto), ..fino alle 4 del mattino pagando solo il notro ingresso (altrimenti sarebbe mooolto, ma moolto più costoso..).

Insomma tanti ottimi motivi per venire... ti aspettiamo!!
