Since 1994, the Rookies have been playing pure and genuine garage rock, influenced by great bands from the middle of the sixties, the golden era when the beat garage sound took its first steps.
We started out playing hundreds of unknown albums by bands like "Basement Wall", "The Living Daylights", "The Klubs", "The Effects", "Facts Of Life" and many many others, but without a doubt our biggest inspiration came from the Dutch beat bands like the great Wally Tax's "Outsiders", "Q65", "Bumble Bees" and "Golden Earrings".
During those years we played lots of gigs across Italy, but there are three that are most memorable: the opening act for the sixties garage legends "The Chocolate Watch Band", the one supporting "The Fuzztones" and our gig with the legendary Craig Moore's Gonn.
We recorded 3 releases for the Italian label Teen Sound Records, that included two singles,"Half of wednesday" (1998), "Anyhow Anywhere" (2000), and one full- length "Out of Fashion"(2005). We've also partecipated in many compilations.
Now we've just finished our second album which includes all original material, mixing all the experiences and influences we picked up over these years. It covers a wide range of sounds, going from the British psychedelia to Dutch beat, passing through the Texas garage punk and the "Byrds-like" jingle jangle folk sound.
good morning
I'm new, new like the first day of spring
New like a nightingale that's just learned to sing
I'm new, new like the very start of dawn
Like a child that's first born with your love, I'm new
