In early 2008 the idea of a cover band Blues is born of the fertile mind of Francis Candelli, transplanted from Taranto to Reggio Emilia. Already bassist Mother Nature (the core of the protozoan Tarantino Combo which is co-founder) who moved into the city in Emilia wants to start playing again. The neighbor discovered the Ruby from Lecce, now nineteen years on earth ... and already the founder of Reggio with Leo Toncelli from Livorno has long been resident in that of Parma, the Zona Cesarini, pop-rock group with copyrights assets of a self-produced CD entitled "We Are How We Are". In looking for a bassist and Zone Candelli seems interested except to realize the first evidence that the pop-rock is not her gender. Also sets out his idea of ??music that inspires ... Al and Leo are interested in the project area and parked temporarily launch into this adventure. Together with guitarist Francis is Gabriel da Correggio (a pure Emilia!) With whom he has already started to feel something, the feeling between the two is palpable. Among the pieces to propose gender-Rock Blues, Francis pulls out a CD of the unknown (at least for Leo and Al), Rudy Rotta Blues guitarist who counts among his production work dedicated to the Beatles revisited in this Key. "The Beatles In Blues" is the title, Rock-Blues perhaps more appropriately (remember the name coined by the group: "Around The Blues" is just to indicate that the address is not Blues "pure" but everything revolves around us). The album on first listen like the two and made the necessary copies devour so much so that the next meeting with the other, would be ready (especially Al) to a Beatles cover band on the inspiration of the Route. Francis and Gabriel did not agree on '"label" and so you opt for five pieces from the CD route, several other authors while remaining precisely "Around The Blues." Training and if we also want the instrumental ensemble (which is the Leo Francis but also are able to sing, among other things in addition to the battery has recorded the voices of the CD Zone) is complete but lacks the lead vocals, both Francis and Leo that Al is impossible, especially for the latter to sing and play drums as well as being "anti-aesthetic" in terms of visual impact "live", is a singer faticoso.Trovare especially with the right stamp is not easy task, and so while you start to try the line that mentions Francis singing. The groove is good you can start feeling there is. The singer struggles to arrive, but in the meantime, Gabriel begins to fade even took so much hard work from family commitments to grant one day per week to the tests. Soon you realize that you have to shop around for a guitarist who sostituisca.Nel are now recruited the singer in a local newspaper ads to the page "Tools and complexes." It's called himself as Tony Carnevale Francesco Taranto and in recent years as the bassist moved to Reggio Emilia. Tony already has an experience in a group Blues "pure" dissolved suddenly and wants to resume. It is a test program immediately prior study of five parts (than the Beatles Break) and after a week you go in the room. That evening Candelli can not be present due to a busy family suddenly goes three for the singer auditioning. While not exciting, the first test and Al convinces Leo to give Tony a chance, if nothing else you can try the basics. The day after Al tells him Francis, who had already had a negative opinion by Gabriele disapproves of the choice, no use trying to convince his friend bassist at least in the "vision" Francis is adamant he trusts the opinion of such disagreements arise, and Gabriel misunderstanding between him and Al on the phone and fly some statement too. Candelli then decides to abandon futile attempts to change his mind of the drummer. Al tells Leo what happened and decide together that you will never go back now too gassed to abandon it. Agree to look for another bass player who was recruited after a few days by Leo from an ad placed on the bulletin board of a specialized site. Manenti by Fausto Suzzara (MN) is a guitarist switched to bass a few years and has a strong desire to play. And 'so enthused by the project and Leo sends the usual five songs to listen to and study for the audition. We still lack the guitarist with the "departure of Candelli" failed prematurely but it would be gone in every way. The choice to work falls on the already guitarist of "Zone" Ruby Formentini parked in the meantime the project after the album was dedicated to another (thanks to him and to his meeting with the great Larry Carlton in Boreham (RE) in March 2009 at a concert of the latter, the ATB had also donated the "logo" and a wish from the great guitarist signed on admission to the concert, everything is documented by photos). It's not really the kind of Ruby his style and his sound is more towards the "fusion" but decided to try and start well in team finally completed the tests documented on You Tube. The groove is not bad even if Ruby is not quite "Blues" but it is good and still manages to be "personal." What is less convincing, but the singer goes on the same tests. At some point, the band plans to assist a female singer to Tony, an idea that is not taken well by the latter after a dinner of "work" in which it agrees to make the run without giving any explanation. Now we look forward to but above Fausto and Leo has a great desire to play both submit to the search. But the misfortune is known is always lurking ... Ruby seems unwilling sees no prospect of "live" and do not want to "waste time" composed film music and is very taken by this project and forcing others to return for another guitar . Many specimens also made guitarists and a singer also female but without convincing results.
The solution comes again by Leo and his inseparable bulletin board (well this is only right to thank Lenzotti Musical Instruments in Modena which Leo, oblivious to the desperation of his companion, with its many changes of plans, organs, keyboards, expanders and everything else is certainly one of the best clients). From this "Magic Cylinder" Mark Leo Nucci first extracts from Palermo to Reggio Emilia resident from the first convincing evidence for sound and style, good and his partner to sing but unfortunately already engaged with a group. Meanwhile makes its way into the mind of the idea of ??having a defined matrix and the Beatles have made a matrix that always works in Blues then ... I fell in love so much to persuade others to that familiar with Leo after un'ascolto that Albinea (RE) a pre-summer evening at the Bar Mario Biondi's a very good Beatles Coverband them proposed in Jazz. In the end all agreed also the lead singer Nick da Carpi (MO) was added in the meantime the team ever since Leo usually extracted from the cylinder. He has convinced everyone from the first test has the right tone, technique, pronunciation and knows and loves the Beatles. The A.T.B. Beatles In Blues Coverband then .... is done .... Now we have to hear them live! In the summer of 2010 after a year because of early evening, a bad car accident from which fortunately comes out unscathed, holding the (drummer) just three months this firm to others for sostituirlo.Non not expected it to Leo with whom he had shared the project started with the drummer Candelli.Ovvio applied for and obtained the name that is not used as ATB and the others a new mint, but they take the repertoire that is shared at this point. The ATB is still the first to have it has generated and the part of the paternity. It puts into motion to find and bring to light new elements of the project. The ATB will rise, thanks to all friends who support them.
