    TOP STORIES
    THE BLUES HAD A BABY AND THEY NAMED IT ROCK’N’ROLL … THIS IS NOT ONLY A CLASSIC FROM MUDDY WATERS BUT ALSO THE REFOUNDERS PHYLOSOPHY.

    THE BAND WAS FORMED IN 1991 BY THE 3 ORIGINALS MEMBERS SEBASTIANO RE (VOICE), FABRIZIO CRISTANTE (BASS) AND ANDREA TOLA (GUITAR). WITH THEM START TO PLAY GIORGIO ABA (DRUMS) THET AFTER ONE YEAR WAS CHANGED AND THE NEW ENTRY WAS PAOLO CHIORINO, A WELL KNOW DRUM PLAYER IN TORINO AREA.

    THE STYLE OF THE BAND, FROM THE BEGINNINGS, MIXED UP THE POWER OF THE ROCK’N’ROLL WITH THE STYLE OF THE BLUSE PLAYED IN THE STYLE OF THE FIRST PUNK. THE BANDS THE REFOUNDERS LOOKING AT ARE DR. FEELGOOD, THE PIRATES, LITTLE BOB STORY, ETC.

    DURING FIRST YEARS, THE REFOUNDERS BECAME A WELL KNOW PUB ROCK BAND IN TORINO AREA AND THEY PLAY LOT OF GIGS IN THE PUBS CIRQUIT. FROM THIS PERIOD COMING THEUR FIRST DEMO TAPE (“I’M THE MAN”) SELF PRODUCED THAT CONTAIN 4 ORIGINALS TRACKS PLUS A COVER (CAN’T STOP LOVIN YOU) WROTE BY THE WALLS FARGO (THE FIRST BAND OF PAOLO CHIORINO).

    A SECOND DEMO CD WAS RECORDED IN 1999 (HEY MAMA KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT) THAT CONTAIN 3 ORIGINALS TRACKS + 3 COVERS (GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, HEY MAMA KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT, TALKIN ABOUT YOU). THIS CD RECIVED SOME GOOD REVIEW ON SEVERAL BLUES MAGAZINE AND WAS PROGRAMMED AS WEEK CD ON DIGITAL BLUES RADIO IN LONDON.

    AFTER THIS CD, ANDREA TOLA LEAVE THE BAND FOR FAMILY BUSINNESS AND HE WAS RECOVERED BY Mr SANDRO PONCHIA A BIG SHOW ANIMAL THAT SHOT WITH HIS GUITAR IN THE FACE OF THE AUDIENCE.

    WITH THE NEW MEMBER THE BAND BEGIN A NEW PERIOD OF LIVE SHOW THAT KEEP IT AROUND ITALY WITH A HOT LIVE SHOW.

    IN 2002 THE REFOUNDERS RECORDED THEIR SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO THE DR.FEELGOOD. THEY MAKE A CD (DOWN AT THE DOCTORS) WITH 5 TRACKS FROM WILKO AND GIPIE ERA .

    FOR 2006 THE BAND IS WAITING TO BE BACK IN STUDIO TO MAKE A NEW CD.
