Bio
The bands first unit was formed in San Giovanni Valdarno in May 2004 by:
Mirko Sunny Sanni guitar
Enrico Zappa Zappalorti drums
Mattia Dori bass
The boys intended to compose and play their own songs only without any specific reference genre other than simply rock music.
The band was to have a female singer and short name containing the words down and kiss, so they united them, making up Downkiss, a word that gives space to the most fervent immaginations.
In November 2004 the american singer Joann Pate joins the band and a very inspired and productive period begins.
On December 30th 2004 Downkiss perform for the first time in public presenting an hour of original repertoire and obtaining a good reaction from the audience.
In February 2005 the band records a 6 track EP called Im so speechless at Parsifal Studio in Sesto Fiorentino (FI) mixed by Federico Fefo Forconi now Malfunks and formerly Toxic Reasons (USA) guitar player.
In April 2006 the collaboration with Carlo Bellottis management and promotion agency Alkemist-Fanatix Europe, begins.
In November 2006 the guitarist leaves the band and Gianni Mr. Chombos Mugnai, who had already played in the crossover band Streets of Violence togheter with Joann, takes his place.
In December 2006 also the drummer is replaced by Andrea Buddy Brogi, a percussion student at the Conservatoire with various experiences in funky, jazz, bossanova, samba, and classical ensembles.
In February 2007 the band signs a contract with Fernando del Regnos label Hurricane Shiva Records.
In July that same year the production of Push me to the calculating madness, the bands first official alum, begins.
The music is recorded and mixed at Luca Tonnis Trade Digital Records Studio in Montale (PT), while the vocal parts are recorded and arranged by Federico Fefo Forconi at Fefoland in Florence.
