New Candys

Concocted with only the darkest of deviant rock'n'roll ethos and distinct melodic distortions, New Candys are one of the most important bands to have emerged from Italy in recent years. Led by songwriter and singer-guitarist Fernando Nuti with bassist-keyboardist Dario Lucchesi, the lineup is completed with Emanuele Zanardo on lead guitar and backing vocals and Francesco Giacomin on drums and sampler.
Their hometown of Venice is subtly interwoven through a focused aesthetic, not only sonically produced, but curated in their album artworks designed by Nuti himself.

With many years on the road internationally, they have done several tours around Europe, UK, United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia. Some festival appearances include SXSW, Treefort Music Fest and Psycho Las Vegas in 2022, Levitation France and Desert Stars Festival in 2019, Sydney and Melbourne Psych Fests as headliners in 2018 and in the same year they recorded a session for KEXP. They have supported artists such as The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols e The Black Angels including shows at the Olympia Hall in Paris, The Roundhouse in London and Huxley's Neue Welt in Berlin. Iggy Pop described them as "kinky" and some of their songs are featured on episodes of Showtime Networks original TV series "Shameless".

Their latest album 'Vyvyd', mixed by Grammy Award producer Tommaso Colliva, was released in 2021.
