ITALIAN SURF ACADEMY
Marco Cappelli (guitar), Damon Banks (bass), Davod Miller (drums) play a surf version of Spaghetti Western, Horror and B movies and vintage soundtracks.
The group was formed by Marco Cappelli after long conversations with Marc Ribot about the roots of the electric guitar "sound". Although several classic themes are rearranged and de-constructed, the music is fresh and unpredictable. Through its irony, the music triggers memories that coexist with a very specific artistic vision:

“Back then (the 1950's through the 1970's) the U.S. was more than a geographic place … it was a concept that we dreamt of belonging to. The prairies, a cowboy on his horse riding into the sunset encompassed by that warm guitar sound with a lot of reverb … all of it. This image was made up by the American movie industry and redone in many movies with a “made in Italy” label, that was expressed in Italy and abroad by Italian directors. That’s why we decided to create the “Italian Surf Academy” as a project that represents this musical and visual concept".
