[IT] Una delle cose che rendono il mio rientro in Italia particolarmente sballoso e' l'essere stato reintegrato in piene forze tra le fila dei mitici Sisimizi! Amici di una vita (con loro si strimpellava quando eravamo ancora batuffoli), i Sisimizi sono la band ska-core piu' robusta e divertente sulla piazza. Dal mio rientro ho gia' avuto la fortuna di suonare in due occasioni con la Band: Festa dell'Ulivo in Val Pellice ed ArgRock ad Arguello (nelle Langhe), una data piu' bella dell'altra... grande sound, risate e bevute, amici che ballano e cantano in pista. Date un'occhiata alle foto qui sotto per farvi un'idea, e se ci riuscite venitemi a sentire in qualcuna delle prossime date... le potete trovare sul Sisi-sito, dove curo la cronaca delle performances (e dei deliranti backstages...) del gruppo. Divertimento assicurato!
[EN] One of the things that make my return in Italy so much fun is re-joining the legendary Sisimizi! They are friends of a lifetime (we used to strum together when we were little brats), and one of the most rocky ska-core band around. After my return, I have had the luck of gigging with them in two occasions: the "Ulivo" Feast in Valpellice and ArgRock in Arguello (in the countryside of Langhe), and they were both so much fun! Great sound, lauhgs and heavy drinking, friends dancing and singing all aorund. Check out some photos below, and try to come and see me some time... you can find the dates on the Sisi-site, where I edit the chronicles of our performances (and of crazy backstage events...). Fun is guaranteed!
I was born in Italy in 1977. I have been living and studying in Torino until 2004, when, fter finishing my PhD in Experimental Physics, I moved to Melbourne to continue my research activity on diamond and carbon-based materials. after 3 years abroad, I am now living in Italy. Apart from my interest for Science, I am fond of music (I play guitar), sport (volleyball, sking), traveling... and Zen!
