  • Bio

    I Van Cleef Continental nascono intorno alla meta' degli anni 2000, con il demo "8 shots 8 failures". L'attivita' del gruppo procede sino all'uscita di "Red Sisters" per l'etichetta americana Steam Machine Records nel marzo 2008. Sempre nel corso del 2008, la band partecipa al tributo internazionale "Hidden Desert", dedicato alla musica dei Thin White Rope. "Red Sisters" e' uscito, accolto entusiasticamente dalla stampa specializzata, anche in Italia a ottobre 2009 per CASAMOLLOY/AUDIOGLOBE. File Under: rock'n'roll, alternative, noir. _______________________________________________________________________ Singer/bass player Andrea Van Cleef formed Van Cleef Continental in the summer of 2004, releasing the self-produced "8 shots 8 failures", a debut album influenced by 60's garage sounds and 80's paisley underground. In 2007 Van Cleef Continental, now a real band, release the "Junior Bonner" EP, soon followed by the recording of "Red Sisters", 11 songs mastered by Ray Staff at his Air Studios in London (where he had previously worked on Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie remaster catalogues). "Red Sisters", a dense, powerful work featuring a newly focused sonic attack and harsh and intense vocals is then published in 2008 by the indie label Steam Machine Records, based in Douglas, Arizona. In 2009 the record comes out in Italy too (thanks to CASAMOLLOY/AUDIOGLOBE), and it quickly earns the band a following and ecstatic press reviews, drewing favorable comparisons to Thin White Rope, The Doors, Queens of Stone Age, X, Nick Cave and Husker Du. _______________________________________________________________________ UFFICIO STAMPA: Ercole Gentile Alcor Press info@alcorpress.com - www.alcorpress.com _______________________________________________________________________ IN ROTAZIONE RADIOFONICA SU: -RADIO CAPODISTRIA : www.radiocapodistria.net -RADIO GORIZIA : www.radiogorizia1.it -BLU RADIO VENETO: http://bluradioveneto.it/recensioni/van-cleef-continental-red-sisters -OKERWELLE (Francoforte, Germania) : www.okerwelle.de -RADIO CITTA' APERTA ROMA : http://alternitalia.podomatic.com/player/web/2009-09-28T10_07_27-07_00 - RADIO ONDA D'URTO - RADIO Voce Camuna - CONTRORADIO FIRENZE - RADIO REGGIO (Reggio Emilia) - heavy rotation fino al 28 novembre!!!! - RADIO CERNUSCO STEREO (www.rcs939.it/) _______________________________________________________________________ RECENSIONI:- - MAX Novembre 2009 (By Massimo Cotto) - ROLLING STONE: http://www.rollingstonemagazine.it/musica/ascolta-van-cleef-continental-in-streaming - ROCKERILLA (gennaio 2010) - MUCCHIO SELVAGGIO: http://www.ilmucchio.it/fdm_content.php?sez=scelte&id=1277&id_riv=70 - BUSCADERO (Febbraio 2010) - RUMORE (Febbraio 2010) - LEFT (25 Settembre 2009) - ROCKOL: http://www.rockol.it/vetrina-6100/Van-Cleef-Continental-RED-SISTERS -SENTIREASCOLTARE : http://www.sentireascoltare.com/recensione/5957/Van-Cleef-Continental-red-Sisters.html - MESCALINA: http://www.mescalina.it/musica/recensioni/recensioni-musicap.php?id=3480 - L'ISOLA CHE NON C'ERA: http://www.lisolachenoncera.it/recensioni/?id=866 - INDIEROCK: http://www.indie-rock.it/recensioni_look.php?id=869 - ONDALTERNATIVA: http://www.ondalternativa.it/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=3662 - INTERVISTA: http://www.babylonbus.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=385232 - INTERVISTA2: http://www.mescalina.it/musica/interviste-/interviste.php?id=312 - INTERVISTA3: http://maps.rcdc.it/?p=577 - INTERVISTA4: http://www.beatbopalula.it/musica-underground-emergenti-band/articolo.asp?articolo=1728 - INDIEZONE: http://www.indie-zone.it/sushibar.asp - STORIA DELLA MUSICA: http://www.storiadellamusica.it/Van_Cleef_Continental_-_Red_Sisters_(Casa_Molloy,_2009).p0-r2680 - MUSICALNEWS: http://www.musicalnews.com/articolo.php?codice=17211&sz=4 - IL POPOLO DEL BLUES: http://www.ilpopolodelblues.com/rev/novembre09/recensione/van-cleef-continental.html - OUTUNE: http://www.outune.net/dischi/medium/rock-van-cleef-continentals-red-sisters-2009.html - CHRONIC: http://www.kronic.it/artGet.aspx?cID=38485- GTBT: http://gtbtreviews.blogspot.com/2009/11/van-cleef-continental-red-sisters-casa.html - ROCKSHOCK: http://www.rockshock.it/van-cleef-continental-red-sisters/ - BEATBOPALULA: http://www.beatbopalula.it/public/post/van-cleef-continental-3353.asp _______________________________________________________________________ BOOKING: AMANITA BOOKING amanitabooking@gmail.com www.myspace.com/amanitabooking Arenasonica booking agency - tel. 333/3751936 - email: malvagio@email.it - Fax 030/2586041

"Red Sisters" è uscito anche in Italia nel corso del 2009 per CASAMOLLOY/AUDIOGLOBE, ed è stato presentato con una serie di concerti in tutto il nord e centro italia, come headliner e in illustre compagnia (gaslight anthem, dead meadow, e in passato anche willard grant conspiracy, tom verlaine...)
