Le Scimmie Sulla Luna

“Terra!” (Land!) is what a crew of monkeys shouts at the sight of
the moon, just before landing their spaceship on it to roam and
explore the satellite’s craters and seas.
This is the image behind the first album of “Le Scimmie sulla Luna”,
produced by LA RIVOLTA RECORDS with the support of Puglia
Sounds. Risen from the ashes of Teenage Riot, a band which in
recent years had many a success playing all across the peninsula,
Le Scimmie sulla Luna, from Lecce, made a record which tastes
international and experimental.
The sound of the band is a balance of tight rhythms and grooves
that wink at funk, math and post-rock: hypnotic guitars seem to
turn into synthesizers, moving from lively and melodic riffs to
experimental contortions through massive use of delays and synth
pedals. The goal of the band is to find the contact point of different
musical genres and approaches, emphasizing and at the same time
going beyond the dichotomy between what is “rock” and what is
not.
