Hot!….Yeah…it was Berlin…and coming from Italy, we expected it to be fresh if not cold….but instead it was tremendously hot and people started get naked!…yeah crazy night!
What should people expect when they check the band out? How would you describe yourself?
We are a pop band…we play pop music, but we are very eclectic I think…and so every song is very different from the others…or that is our intention at least! There is a strong component of R&B probably but a lot of other influences as well….
The new music scene is bursting at the seams with fresh talent, in what ways do you feel that a band has to stand out from the others trying to build a name?
A band…an artist has to do what he knows better: playing music at his best. The rest is secondary.

But you have to be very honest and severe with yourself…then maybe you can impress even somebody else….maybe…
