Mimes of Wine were born on a cold night of winter 2004 when Amir made a beautiful drawing and Laura decided to keep it for a name and a vest.
She wrote all the songs in the last three winters, between California, Bologna, and Paris. The day she finally recorded them, some of her friends have been really precious to her, becoming this way Mimes of Wine with her and Amir.
She is particularly grateful to Enzo, Luca, Gian Andrea, Daniele, Adriano, and Elisabeth, for their continuous presence, help, and contribution. Also, she played with Francesco and Zeus, whom she really likes.
Now Laura is playing around with a ghost violin, and a ghost stand up bass.
We hope to see you soon, thank you for reading,
Mimes of Wine
