New Candys

Concocted with the darkest deviant rock'n'roll ethos and distinct melodic distortions, New Candys are one of the most compelling bands to have emerged from Italy in recent years. Led by songwriter and singer-guitarist Fernando Nuti, along with bassist-keyboardist Dario Lucchesi, the lineup is rounded out by Emanuele Zanardo on lead guitar and backing vocals, and Francesco Giacomin on drums and sampler.
Their hometown of Venice is subtly woven into a focused aesthetic, curated through their album and poster artworks, designed by Nuti himself.

Signed to the cult record label Fuzz Club, they’ve built a global following with years of touring across Europe, the UK, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Festival appearances include SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, and Psycho Las Vegas in 2022, Levitation France and Desert Stars Festival in 2019, and headlining spots at Sydney and Melbourne Psych Fests in 2018, the same year they recorded a session for KEXP. They’ve shared the stage with icons like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols, and The Black Angels, playing legendary venues such as the Olympia Hall in Paris, The Roundhouse in London, and Huxleys Neue Welt in Berlin. Iggy Pop described them as "kinky", and their songs have been featured on episodes of Showtime’s original series Shameless.
