We have a new acoustic set.

We have new songs.

They are still demos, some of the words are wrong, some don't make any sense, but still...

Face it, you will NEVER write songs like these :)

On one of my first posts I asked everyone why were they here on Vox. Well, we made this page just to submit our music to the A&R guys and, hopefully, to involve their labels in our project. We met a few interesting people along the way and received lots of comments on our music, which was great! One of our main goals, knowing if our work could be appreciated by a wider (and unknown) audience, was reached and it was a success.

This is my last post because there are many important things that I don't really want to share and there are so many more stupid things that "I could" share. I don't want to write a post about my cat sneezing, just as I don't want to start posting pointless comments on other people stuff just to get their attention. I am a musician and my job is to make music, I'm more concerned about writing lyrics than posts :)

I believe this could really be a valid alternative to the old way of getting heard by sending in cds, it's just that I don't feel like there's much more I can do to get ourselves heard without acting like a pathetic attention seeker. If you listened to our songs then you probably can understand why we can't act like that.

THIS IS THE GLITCH.

If you want to work for/on our band, please get in touch!

A taste of our music is here on this page, we will still post relevant news and new music when we got any.

And just to get things in motion...

1. We are looking to do some gigs in Europe this summer/fall so we are currently taking into consideration any kind of venue. Please, let us know if your local venues will accept a band from Italy. We don't travel first class or need four hotel suites filled with roses and champagne, a Ryanair flight, cold pizza and couches for four will do.

2. We are looking for a live promoter for the UK alone, we are looking for a more intensive serie of gigs there during summer/fall. Same as above applies.

3. We are looking for a record deal. Are you an A&R at one of the labels on this site or other major labels? Are you an indie label and wish to sign us? Please, get in touch! We need to be SAVED from our own lives :)

Hey Voxers, long time no post!

I'm sorry but I have been busy rehearsing the news songs, booking some gigs around town and (sigh) working. Strangely enough, I received a pm from a guy on myspace who wants us to play his club. Finally all the time I spent setting up that myspace profile is paying me back! I am so happy that more and more people are getting closer to us, some from the internet, some from the buzz, and we want to give them a great show!

Appendix A - Live Venues in Rome

Down here in Rome we currently have about 4/5 live venues who could host a band without making it sound bad. Moreover, the vast majority of clubs doesn't book original bands anymore, they just rely on tribute bands. We have countless cover bands of U2, Pink Floyd, Queen, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, Rem, you name it we have it! Ok, I have been in a Beatles cover band, then in a Glam Rock one (I had to wear extremely embarassing clothes and accessories), then again in a Radiohead one, but that was just to "taste the stage". The point is, if you want to play your music here, you don't have many chances. This is when I thank all you voxers twice: for being able to understand what I say in my songs and for liking our music. You are making it happen!

Appendix B - Herdwhite recommendation!

I've been listening to a lot of stuff from Vox but nothing as good as the music this guy makes. I honestly don't like all of his tracks but I think he has a high level of production and can provide an outstanding quality both in lyrics and music. I love his voice, he has a deep meaningful tone and a great taste for melodies! I'd say his best track is Despair, give it a spin and feel its vibe, and don't forget to leave a comment if you like it!
