Bio
Amycanbe hail from the coastal area of Romagna in north-eastern Italy. Originally comprised of Marco and Mattia, they formed in 2002. After one year they met Francesca, and the band started taking shape. The approach and the musical taste of the trio, coming from different experiences, perfectly complimented each other. Shortly, light but never banal compositions emerged from the band. Francesca's singing came together with simple and measured arrangements. The fourth element of the band, Paolo (wind instruments, guitar and synth) brought strength to all these characteristics. There was and remains a common interest with Amycanbe to combine acoustic and electronic sounds.
By January 2004 the band was settled. After the first live performances in clubs, theatres and bars in Romagna, Amycanbe recorded a self-produced EP with 5 songs. It attracted the attention of critics and attained widespread success. Blow Up magazine placed Amycanbe in the playlist of the best debutant Italian indie band of the 2005. In May and September 2005 Amycanbe open for Skin and Yuppie Flu.
In early 2007, after been featured on '50 Minutes' and 'Merdeka' compilation CDs. the band signed a record deal with UK indie label Dancing Turtle Records, and their debut album 'Being A Grown-Up Sure Is Complicated' was released, as a good low key affair, in October of the same year to critical acclaim. This co-incided with a UK tour that saw the band play in Leeds, Bristol, Oxford and Sheffield, as well as the album launch at 12 Bar in London. The band also did radio sessions for the BBC and received plays on BBC Radio 1.
The band is currently working on an new album and just finished a new project called The World Is Round which the song Rose Is A Rose (PEACE Mix) is available now as a preview of the project included in PEACE benefit Amnesty compilation out last 12 April and reached the no 1 of the Indie Top 100 Charts - Friendvote - Backstage
