biography
FIRMA made its debut in 2001 with a song that became the name of their first album: “La Orbire”.
Shortly after having formed the band, Rocca and liX wrote the script and directed the video for “La Orbire”, which was played on heavy-rotation on Atomic, MCM & MTV Romania, reaching first places on national charts. This lead to a series of concerts in some of the better-known clubs in the country. The public’s positive reaction to the song’s airplay and to the band’s live concerts compelled the 5 artists (Lama – lead guitar, liX- rhythm guitar, Rocca – vocals, Sorin Burcas – keyboards and Erhan - bass) to have a go at recording their first album.
FIRMA spent most of 2002 in the studio, creating an album that landed the band a three-year record deal with Intercont Music at the beginning of 2003. Soon after having signed the contract, FIRMA was joined in its endeavours by another major creative force in the Romanian showbiz, Andreea Paduraru, who directed two of their videos: “Nimeni” and “Important”. The first video lead many to believe that they were watching a Western band as they seemed ill-fit for the low-quality Romanian music scene at the time, while the latter video - “Important” – was promoted by a nationwide tour.
FIRMA was one of the nominees at the 2004 MTV European Music Awards under the Best Romanian Act category, while in 2005 the band also earned a nomination at the MTV RMA as Best Rock Act.
“Te Paste”, the last video from their debut album was directed by Rocca and Bogdan Popoiag and aired in 2005. After taking some time off, the band went into the studio at the beginning of 2006 in order to record the follow-up to “La Orbire”.
FIRMA changed their record label in 2007 as they moved to MediaPro Music, which took on the challenge of bringing the band’s music to a broader audience. The band is currently preparing a album and intend to release at least two videos from their latest effort: “Exit” which will appear in October.

DIRTY SHIRT STUDIO REPORT: Episode 1, Drum Session
Hello there!!!
DIRTY SHIRT revine in forta cu un album, botezat sugestiv: “Same SHIrT Different Day”. Nu fiti nerabdatori, albumu' iese la toamna.
Intre timp, bagati un ochi aici, pentru un prim video cu sesiunea de tobe (Toca, tobashul criminal :) ), undeva in sudul Frantei:
In curand si restu...
Pentru cei care inca n-o fo' pe faza, iute pe myspace si youtube la un "U.B." ("Cine iubeste si lasa" intr-o adaptare dezlantuita) in varianta demo (o sa fie si pe album, don't panic).
În ultimele luni trupa Oliver a ţinut o serie de repetiţii deschise publicului, care nu au plecat de la conceptul “zilele porţilor deschise”, ci având ca motiv un dor reciproc.
Concertul de pe 21 mai nu va fi unul obişnuit, cu un playlist sau o scenografie specială ci va fi singura noastră apariţie în faţa unui public larg înaintea lansării albumului nou. Prin urmare, o ultimă repetiţie cu public, fără pretenţii de concert, ci cu un pretext relaxat de a petrece nişte timp împreună. Să ne ţină toată vara.
Aşa că, daţi-ne un mail la oliver@olivermusic.ro şi sunteţi invitaţii noştri.
Alege-ti baba pe 20 martie ca sigur asa o sa iti mearga tot anul! Se anunta party mash intr-un loc foarte fresh cu proiectii insorite si cu pasarele cum numai pe la noi gasesti: D-Laid, D-Fact, Blanilla, Jaheyo si MC Vandal Lentov, Djubei si Burner Greene.
Pasarelele de noapte vor canta pe rand, dar nu intr-o ordine prestabilita, in P-ta 1 Mai la Clujana.
Ne vedem vineri, 20 martie, Clujana, pasarele, mash, breaks, bass.
Dupa o iarna lunga, SPRING BREAK te regenereaza si fii atent la ce urmeaza!
6 Djs, 1 MC, 2 projectors & 1 VJ, 4000W Base power and a lot of positive vibe.
