the story of il sogno del marinaio (which in italian means "the sailor's dream") begins w/an idea from their guitarist stefano pilia... in the fall of 2009 he had gotten offered to play a festival in cesena (italy) and thought it might be interesting for him and his drummer friend andrea belfi to bring aboard mike watt and create a new trio for the gig. this led to a mini-tour which in turn resulted in them recording their debut album to bring aboard "la busta gialla" during three days in the middle of it. cuz of all the band members being parts of other bands and projs, the release of this album was put off 'til all three had free time which ended up being last year's euro tour 2013 which was the first full-on sally-forth for the band.
the band learned from this experience that maybe it's good to get the record out kind right after you make it and of course tour it as the dust is clearing just after it drops. that's why il sogno del marinaio decided to record their second album "canto secondo" last december in bologna, italy and got the baby mixed and finished by the end of this april so it could come out this upcoming august twentysix and follow that up two weeks later w/a fiftyone gigs in fiftyone days u.s. tour. now both andrea and stefano have played some u.s. gigs but never as part of il sogno del marinaio and never on a major hellride so that's where their bassman watt could help make that happen. starting w/so cal and doing a huge clockwise loop around the country (by the way, tokyo nakama lite are on board w/us for the first ten gigs of the tour, yatta!) 'til we end up in 'zona day after halloween. we're gonna play every tune from the new album and lots from the first one so u.s. folks can see what this trio is like in real time.
you can imagine how we're chomping at the bit... we're gonna do everything possible to try our hardest and work it good, you got our word on that... and speaking of "word" - each gig has its own flyer you can print out and help spread the word that we're coming to play our brains out, any help w/doing that sure would be much appreciated by us big time, thank you so much in advance for such kindness.
