Swedish gig

After some years, a new Swedish gig for Ettore, this time for a concert with Alex Carpani Band, which took place on 16th July at Lidkoping City Park, close to Vanern Lake.
Brighteye Brison and KadaWatha opened the concert, that has been very strong and satisfying for the band and the "Lidköpings ArtRockSällskap", who looked after the organization. Many thanks go, in particular, to Mikael Bennerhed.
From the show: some pics by Daniel Marklund and the review by Mats (italianprogrock.com).

Drums made for The RedZen!

Yes, Roberto Leoni has cut his drums for the forthcoming album by The RedZen, which seems to be really interesting, thanks also to his devilish rhythmics.
Something to watch from those sessions:
