About me:
COMING THIS FALL!
LIE/FEMALE -
introduction.
The Electric Diorama is a now-5-piece band based in Rome. They were co-founded by Helio Di Nardo (ex session player for Vanilla Sky – Universal Music) and Francesco Catitti (synthesizers and sound engineer for the Italian pop band Città Giardino - Lead Sound Rec., contestants at the Sanremo Festival 2006 final selections). The band started as a side-project, including also Vinx from Vanilla Sky on vocals, but very soon the project turned into a real band so he couldn’t make it being so busy with VS. So the band was joined by Andrea Poggioli (Something Of Value) on vocals, Riccardo Gioggi on guitars and Luca Marini on drums. The band chose to follow the musical binaries covered by bands like 30 Seconds to Mars, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco and My Chemical Romance, putting all together, and still in an unique way in Italy, the musical impact and the melody of the upmentioned bands plus a more consistent use of synthesizers and electronic music. The sound that the band has shaped is personal and massive, very close to the Emo Punk influences coming from the US. In May 2007, the band has recorded a 9-tracks CD called “Lifemale”, that was released on October 19 for Nerdsound Records (Ammonia/Edel).
The band grew up very fast, and some changes to the line up came with it. Riccardo left the band, while Emanuele di Massimo (Toby) became essential part of it. They toured in Italy (with bands like Airway and The Beauty) and Austria. It's October 2008 and the band is chosen as opening act for the italian dates of Kill Hannah and it seems to be just the beginning of a long list of amazing shows! Less than a month later, in fact, the band is the official italian support for 2 shows of Funeral For A Friend.
The name "The Electric Diorama" is spreading everywhere and in February 2009 the guys play 2 sold-out-goodbye-shows in Milano and Rome and are one of the supporting act for the only italian date of A Day To Remember (USA).
At the beginning of 2009, The Electric Diorama will release a reissue of their previous EP "Lifemale", with the brand new single "I.Did.As", getting ready for their first overseas adventure at SXSW in Austin, Texas, one of the most important American Festival/Conference.
