Artist Information

Biography

Piatcions debut album, “Senseless>Sense”, was released on Sept. 5th on I Blame The Parents.
Available in cd digipack and digital formats, Senseless>Sense is a grown up album – gossamer sounds build to epic Kraut riffs, dazzling and epic.
Senseless>Sense was recorded with the production of James Aparicio (recently at work with Liars and Spiritualized), and with Robert Toher from influential NYC band APSE (ATP Records) blessing a couple of songs with his unique voice.
Artwork is designed by Ciaran O’Shea (Disc Error, ECC).
Piatcions’ debut 7? “Fireworks Generation” dates back to 2009, then the single “Time”, released in May ’10, quickly became a psych-shoegaze favourite, getting the Top 5 Eps of 2010 on Anti-Snob Blog (US).
Piatcions – based in Domodossola (at the border between Italy and Switzerland) – played several Europe gigs in the past years, and in 2010 became familiar with UK stages, bringing their heavy sound and rock attitude to key venues like Proud Galleries, Peter Parker’s R’n'R Club in Soho, Buffalo Bar and Club Das Ende in Southampton with Suicide Party and One Unique Signal.
With a proper a Europe tour planned n November expect even more feedback noises, loud guitars and reverbs for your brain and ears!
