You have participated in the Emergenza Festival Edition 2015/2016. What made you decide to take part in it?
We took part in Emergenza festival 2014-2015 and stopped in a footstep away from the victory. That’s why we decided to make another try to win it. That worked out well.
As you approach the world final, what is your state of mind?
The perception of great responsibility. We’ll have to represent not only the hometown but the entire country!
What is your best memory from your Emergenza experience?
The last year semifinal. As soon as we took the stage we were pleased to see more than 200 of our fans in the hall. We’d never expected such amount of people admiring our music and ready to support us. Thanks awfully to all of them!
What's behind your band's name? Any specific meaning?
Kressi. No specific meaning.
If you had to choose a famous song that represents your band...which one would it be?
'Dance with somebody' by Mando diao
Can you tell us a funny story or anecdote about your experience on stage? And one which happened in backstage or during the preparation of a show?
There’s always a bunch of funny stories happening during the show. Once we were making a show on a party and the stage started shaking because of our jumps. The stage crew had to hold the portals and equipment in order to preserve it from falling on us. At the same time nobody asked us to stop jumping. The technicians insured us that they were ready to hold the columns and we could carry on unless we were afraid to break through the stage. It was amusing and finished without victims. Nowadays when we’re invited to make our shows, the planning includes a discussion about stage reliability.
How would you describe your music ?
It’s a hurricane of drive, energy and madness!!!
Before you go on stage, do you have a ritual or a good luck charm that goes everywhere with you?
The ritual is easy: we give fives to each other. This makes us feel that we’re a team with common goals.
What is your dream goal?
We like making concerts and we’d like to earn for life with music.
What can audiences expect from one of your live performances?
Whoever is going to come to our shows for the first time, check the practicability of your shoes!!! Nobody will have the possibility to hide out behind the table! There’ll be not even a chance to stay indifferent to our energetics.
If you could invite a band or an artist at your party, dead or alive, who would it be?
Red Hot Chili Peppers.
What are your short to medium term plans after the international final?
Our primary aim is to work on our songs at the recording studio. In addition we’re planning a big solo recital.
What inspires you when you are composing (musical inspirations or others)?
We get inspiration from our fans that come and make shows together with us. For them we stand ready for anything.
Why do you think you deserve to win the 2016 Festival edition?
We’ve done big job whilst participating in EMERGENZA festival. The last time we took the 3rd place, this year - the 1st place. We’e got the aim: to win the world final. We believe in us and we believe in what we do!
