█│ Even if Italy is experiencing the worst political │█
█│ and economical situation since W.W.II, culture is not│█
█│ always influenced by that decline. In fact, the │█
█│ Italian music scene offers quite a lot of good stuff │█
█│ to listen to. To start with 80ies hardcore bands such│█
█│ as Negazione, Nabat and Raw Power that spread the │█
█│ word all over the globe, for example. A lot has │█
█│ changed since, but not everything has vanished. │█
█│ There's still a couple of dedicated bands around: In │█
█│ fact My Awesome Mixtape -together with a lot of other│█
█│ Italian bands such as: Julie's Haircut, Blake/e/e/e, │█
█│ Settlefish, A Classic Education and many others are │█
█│ trying to shout out their music in the amazing and │█
█│ huge worldwide music underground choir! My Awesome │█
█│ Mixtape's story starts, like that of many other │█
█│ bands, in their bedroom. That's where, at the tail │█
█│ end of 2006, Maolo, Checco and Bebo - three spritely │█
█│ Bolognese regaz - half-jokingly start making music. │█
█│ Mixing and matching their favourite styles, they end │█
█│ up generating an original mix of indie rock, hip hop │█
█│ and electronica, the kind you cannot fail to dance │█
█│ to. In the space of a few months, the band's first │█
█│ songs become the talk of the town, and soon enough │█
█│ they are hailed everywhere as Italy's next big thing.│█
█│ At that point, leaving the bedroom to go out and play│█
█│ with the big kids is pretty mandatory. After a few │█
█│ changes in line-up and solo experiments, My Awesome │█
█│ Mixtape become a fivesome: Maolo Torreggiani, Andrea │█
█│ Mancin, Andrea Sologni, Alessandro Scagliarini and │█
█│ Federico Spadoni. Their first album, titled "My │█
█│ Lonely and Sad Waterloo", is released as a │█
█│ co-production between Italian independent labels My │█
█│ Honey Records and I dischi dell'amico immaginario on │█
█│ September 8th 2007. Upon the album's release, the │█
█│ band has already played in half the country's live │█
█│ venues, and tries successfully to go abroad and │█
█│ export their music to the rest of Europe. At the end │█
█│ of 2008, MAM's "Neverending Tour" will have lined up │█
█│ a smashing 158 live gigs, and gained the band an │█
█│ award as Best Live Band of the season at the annual │█
█│ Meeting of Independent Labels in Faenza. That's not │█
█│ the end of it. MAM's special guest appearance in the │█
█│ ensemble video for La nuova musica italiana by │█
█│ Italian hardcore sensations Linea77, and the │█
█│ rerelease of "My Lonely And Sad Waterloo" in Germany │█
█│ through Rewika Records, and in Japan through P-Vine │█
█│ Records, start paving the way for a new album, │█
█│ scheduled for release in the fall of 2009. "How Could│█
█│ a Village Turn Into a Town" will is released in Italy│█
█│ through 42 Records (also home of Gatto Ciliegia │█
█│ Contro Il Grande Freddo, Kobenhavn Store, and Fake P)│█
█│ and in Germany, Austria and Switzerland through │█
█│ Rewika Records. Recorded by Bruno Germano of │█
█│ Settlefish, the album marks a new step in My Awesome │█
█│ Mixtape's artistic growth. Composed, arranged and │█
█│ played as a team effort, "How could a village turn │█
█│ into a town" matches its predecessor's impetuosity │█
█│ with a newfound maturity and awareness in handling │█
█│ and shaping sound. The album has been preceded by the│█
█│ "Other Houses" EP, issued by 42 Records in double │█
█│ format, digital and coloured cassette tape (for a │█
█│ total of 150 numbered copies). The EP is accompanied │█
█│ by two live videos, made by Opificio Ciclope for │█
█│ Italian web TV Pronti al peggio, and will contain │█
█│ three new songs (two of which will not be made │█
█│ available anywhere else), as well as two remixes by │█
█│ hot items of the Italian club scene Congorock and │█
█│ Peluche (Dariella of hip hop band Amari and Matteo │█
█│ Lavagna of Disco Drive). With a new and improved │█
█│ line-up, once (its members are now Maolo Torreggiani,│█
█│ Andrea Mancin, Andrea Suriani, Alessandro Scagliarini│█
█│ and Federico Spadoni), My Awesome Mixtape are about │█
█│ to make their comeback on the Italian stage, before │█
█│ they move on to their next European tour, scheduled │█
█│ for September 2009, when the album is set to be │█
█│ released. │█
