   About Plain
Biography

Plain was a six, then five and now is a four-piece alternative rock band based in Lugano, Switzerland as last week Andy (guitar) left the band to follow his audio engineer passion.
The different musical backgrounds of each member are the essence of this blend of musical flavours winking to a British art rock approach.

The band has released their debut LP album “Different Not Strange” in spring 2008. Written, produced and performed by Plain with the collaboration of both Chris Sheldon (Oceansize, Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Roger Waters, …) for the mixing and Kevin Metcalfe (The Soundmasters, London) for the mastering, this debut album is hard to define or label because of the quirky sounds produced from this unusual combination of talents and personalities.

Since the release in 2005 of their first five tracks self-produced promo EP, still available in online stores and reviewed favorably by press, local newspapers and online international webzines, Plain have started performing at some of the most significant Swiss venues, also playing support to groups from the international music scene and working with local artists, catching the attention of the public and the media in Switzerland, Europe and the United States.

Eclectic musicians such as Pino Di Benedetto (drums), Nick Poretti (lead voice), Stefano Fanzini (bass) and Gianmaria Pisino (keyboards) are the core and engine of this band, giving energy and dynamism during their live shows as well as in the recorded product.

A new Plain website www.plainonline.com has been released in order to be more consistent with the new album image and band line-up: be sure to visit it to sign up on their e-mail list for advance notice on band activities and find out about online album availability.
If you like you can take a look at www.myspace.com/plainonline to read comments from the fans.

è nato un social network dedicato alle bands ticinesi !!!
crea il tuo profilo gratis e appena sarà aggiornato il sito trocerai studi di registrazione, openair, locali live ticinesi scambi di concerti e altre info.

http://ticinoband.ning.com

con lo scopo d'informare le bands su quali sono gli studi di registrazione, locali live e openair in Ticino.
in questo sito ognuno puó crearsi un profilo, caricare fino a 100 mp3!
adesso il sito è ancora incompleto, bisogna aggiornare openair e locali live.
spero in futuro s'iscrivano molte band e con lo scambio d'informazioni si possa trovare o publicizzare eventi, gruppi, studio, etichette,...

Hi there, listen to our latest release BWO019 PING PONG - BALDINO (incl. remixes by Gareth 2Dark & Klangfrequenz) on our myspace page and experience a sensational idea of a ping pong match transformed into minimalistic Techno music. It widely reflects Baldino's creativity. Gareth 2Dark and Klangfrequenz have both been hugely inspired by this idea and added their personal flavour to the remixes.

Charles Dickens began pasting labels on blaking pots. The tragedy of his first love penetrated the depths of his soul, and converted him into one of the world's truly great authors. That tragedy produced, first, David Copperfield, then a succession of other works that made this a richer and better world for all who read his books. Dissappointment over love affairs, generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this because most people never never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.
