The Bank will release Upper Class via Bearfunk in August.
The Bank are the Italian trio of Francesco Brini, Domenico Loparco and
Emanuele Zullo. Combined, they have a varied pedigree as backing instrumentalists in a number of contexts—they've toured as the backing band for American singer/songwriter Jeff Jones, for example. More relevant to the dance music world, Brini has released music as Frank Agrario for Prins Thomas' Internasjonal label and has played as a drummer for Swayzak. The trio have a funk-indebted disco sound played on live instruments, comparable to acts like Chic.
Tracklist
01. City Of The Dead
02. Winka Wonka
03. Afro Sundays
04. The Grey Booze
05. Chic Disco
06. Fishsticks
07. The Snatch
08. Lagos Tahoe

Incline's village jeff jones and italy's the bank are from differnet countryes but speak the same musical language. Jeff Jones and The Bank will record this month their third album together and perform several shows in and around lake Tahoe.
"one of the reason the band gets along so well" Jomes Laughed " is if they start speaking about me in italian, i always ask them, what are you talking about? And the reply always is, "just how great you are" ....

Bio
Every smart human being is ditching the "civilized" world to get closer to his roots in the "third world countries" . The Bank pioneered the movement relocating in western Africa (lagos) in early 2010, making a living playing weddings, hotels, eateries, corporate events and clubs.
The international Bankers' meeting was the band best paying gig, but in order to get the sought after cash an account was mandatory, within the next minute they needed an address, a stay permit and a tax number, progress just got to Africa. Ten minutes later they named themself "THE BANK, spent their last $ on a rusty mini van and hit the road until a snow storm stopped them in Incline Village (NV) where they settled few days offering their service at a local studio to survive. It was a stormy night when they pressed record, "upper class" was born. Spring was knocking at the door, snow melt, birds whistle beautiful melodies but the van hit the road again. Few month later Bear Funk records found the forgotten recordings and signed the Bank straight away, ready?
