  • Bio

    ANDREA ROSSI BYO AND OTHER Andrea Rossi was born in Pavia, Italy on 17/06/70. He started playing guitar at 17 years old and was self-taught. Fascinated by the electric guitar in all of its rhythmic-musical expressions, he dedicated himself in the study and the research of techniques that brought him into experimenting with different styles and genres. After having played in numerous bands in the area of Pavia, he was contacted by Yamaha Music Italy to demonstrate some of their products along with Nicola Fasini (nicknamed Faso of the band "Elio e le storie tese") and Christian Meyer (also of "Elio e le storie tese"), an experience which brought along the decision of becoming a professional guitarist. Then the collaborations started with Roberto Aglieri (new age flute player), Guido Mazzon (jazz trumpet player), Umberto Petrin (jazz pianist) amongst others. In the same period, the victory in various competitions such as best guitarist and song writer brought him into becoming a teacher at l'Istituto Civico musicale Vittadini, Pavia and directing his own orchestra which was made up of : 4 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello, 5 electric guitars, 1 bass, 1 piano and drums. In 1995 he started the collaboration with the singer/song writer Oliviero Malespina with whom he undertook intense live activity and in the studio; in the same year together with the group Tutti Contri (a band which he formed) he established the Guinness Record of the primates of the world's longest song, depriving Elio (12 hours) and taking the new record to 15 hours. The continued studies and continued research into the guitar brings him into contact with the composer and producer Roberto Cacciapaglia with whom he faced a European theatre tour, an important experience in the maturing of the musician. After having won other competitions such as arranger and writer, in '97 he quit teaching in order to intensify his commitments both live and in the studio. Currently he plays with the group Mister X with whom he performs an extremely intense live activity in some of the most important clubs in Italy (Alcatraz, Fillmore, Thunder Road etc..), around 15 - 16 gigs per month which can be found on the band's web site: www.misterxsite.com .

  • VANEXA

    Vanexa were one of the first Italian heavy metal band, their self-titled LP was consecrated by the national press as the first italian heavy metal album. Born in Savona in 1978, their sound was typically Anglo-Saxon evidence abroad where they were cited by several magazines as proponents of the new wave of heavy metal
    band from late '70s early '80s. They also participated as a headliner at the first heavy metal festival held in Certaldo Italian in Florence May 21, 1983. In their careers have also participated in various compilations including metal of Metal Mountain, exit the United States, with the song "Hanged Man" and Metal Italy with the song "It's Over". In 2007 a CD reissue of their eponymous debut album with 3 bonus tracks and unreleased second album "Back From The Ruins" with 5 bonus tracks taken from a live concert of 1984 was released in 2010 is out "1979-80" a compilation of early material ( totally sung in italian) released on vynil and cd supports. We needed a new fresh band with a new fresh sound. VANEXA spearheaded what was termed 'the new wave of heavy metal'. They were a more than welcome addition of the italian hard rock/metal scene. Yet, this debut offering offers more energy and speed than actual accomplishment. In 1983 VANEXA released their self-titled debut album, starting what would become a legendary career for the band. They were one of many promising bands in the New Wave of Heavy Metal movement at the time. Following the success of Vanexa, the band released released their second album Back From The Ruins in 1988. The album featured fan-favourites "Midnight Wolves", "Creation", "Hanged Man". This new album contained many tracks that had been written prior to the release of the debut album, but were considered surplus. With songs already shaped on the road well in advance, only two new tracks were written for the album; Hanged Man and Creation. The band adopted a different approach for their 1994 studio album, titled Against The Sun. This was not a concept album, though it was themed loosely around the idea of social problems. It featured, for the first time in the band's history, synthesized Keyboards and guitars sounds to add textures and layers to the sound. Though considered different from the norm of Vanexa sounds, it a good response across the world, especially for new incredible voice of Roberto TIRANTI. The VANEXA lyrics contains literature quotes about famous books/movies or social problems fusioned in great heavy metal sound.
