You can put Eva in the next Sziget Festival's guest list! Yeah, that's true!

Hey fellows! Eva needs your votes to become one of the guests of next Sziget Festival with Muse, Subsonica, Iron Maiden, Gorillaz, Infected Mushroom, 30 Seconds to Mars and many more international artists! How cool!
Since it could be an astounding opportunity for us, please vote for her clicking here or on the banner below




I've also a hot new for you! Eva's been awarded as one of the best 12 emerging band from Italy! The Gang took part in a quite cool contest, Primo Maggio Tutto l'Anno, blasting off over 700 other bands. We didn't won the final prize (which was for 3 bands only, yikes), but we feel really proud anyway! Plus, tomorrow night, we're going to have a big gig at Area51 of Vignole Borbera. It will be a double celebration 'cause we will receive another nice award as Jury's Choice winners for Hangar19 band contest!
That makes me insanely happy! I'll will leave Italy really amazed...

The Graduate

Here I am pals! I did it! I got my bachelor's degree in Design. How cool! To celebrate this awesomly great event I'm scheduling a heavy bunch of amazing stuff:

- I'm setting up a massive party, which will take place in June. Stay tuned for this
- I'm going to spend my whole May in Turkey! That's the best part. Travels are always insanely good business

However, I haven't forget you and my promises! I said I would have put a higly detailed review about my New Year's Eve journey to Istanbul and.... I'll do it in a way or another. Maybe a quick peek before my upcoming trip!
Btw, I've a lot of fresh news to share with you all, such as we're actually managing an Art Exhibition where Frida is exposing her nice, colorful and priceless (well, not really... You should poke her if interested!) paintings.
The exhibit (which is placed in Cantine Embriaci, here in Genoa) started last Thursday and will last until next Thursday. That day all Gang's musician will perform a double acoustic gig from 18:30 to 01:30. Check out our Myspace or eva's Fan Page for more details about it.
Anyway, I'm proud to tell you all that this is just the first of a long series of art shows managed by us! Stay tuned then, because we're scouting for interesting artists to make the thing huge.

Unfortunately I've a bad new too. Our beloved Smoggy is going to left Italy again, leading for Singapore, in a very few days. So Thursday will be your last chance to wave at him before his new sail. I dedicate this amazing clip I found (which foreruns Betty Boop cartoons) to him. C ya soon mate, and rock the boat.


Smoggy as Barnacle Bill

On the other hand last week was quite great. I spent an entire day in Milan (led by a nice friend of mine) to enjoy the amusements set up for its Design Week. Luckily, I was invited to become part of an artistic perfomance by Cascoland (which was super!), plus, I happily yelled in this big thing! How great!


A super big megapone set up for Public Design Festival 2010

Well, I've some more news but I'll put them in my next blog post, since my time is running short at the moment.
Güle güle fellows, let's start packing!

PS: next time I will tell you who actually was the Walrus first!
