FIRS

I wrote firs just because i love the name, and how it sounds.
I won't start now nameing each tree i will be posting here.

These three pics are still from Scandinavia.
Hope to be back there soon.

We won't be playing until next january.
Yesterday evening i said bye to C. Lee and Vicar V.
We'll meet back in some weeks.

But this is meant to be a short post, three new photos of trees.

Here they are, now.

This was supposed to happen yesterday...

Berlin, Hamburg (Frappant Building) and Nurnmberg.
A German Post.

While here a preview of the BEIM DOKTOR CALIGARI show we did last saturday, at Teatro Bolognini, Pistoia (w/Jealousy Party, Alessandro Fiori and Rico/Uochi Tochi).

Three trees

n
Brussels, London, London.
We-re working on a Beim doktor Caligari, together with Jealousy Party (they are super!!! check'em out!!!!) and waiting for Alessandro Fiori.
There are three Pini Marittimi nearby, i-ve been told they are the ones that will protect us.

Again

Here what i promised: tress from York, Copenhagen and Stockholm.
Three days, then other three trees.

A saucerful of Trees

Just back from the European tour with Sic Alps (amazing people, amazing band!), here i am posting the first pics taken during the tour. The first first first one is from Scandinavia, somewhere btw Malmo, Stockolm and Copenaghen, taken going from one town to the others.
There is something there in the Woods.
Believe me, the woods up there are really something.
I'll be posting for the next week 3 pics every three days.

And i dreamt of high trees, dark woods, lot of men and women from another era hailing to a gigantic Cross. I will work on this and then back to you.
And i dreamt of a Temple, an ol'fisherman NGO, who's already working on the album's cover, dreamt about it too.

Our new record ain't ready yet, it'll be soon.
Soon.

We have the last couple of shows before hiding for three monts.
The tree of us, hiding above some trees. It would be nice.

Some protection to you as well from the trees that defend and surround our house.

A new beginning

After almost two weeks of touring Sardinia and south of Italy, i'm back now with some new pictures and the feeling that a new start is close.
I have this new camera, and i discovered that taking picture during night time makes the trees look like paintings. I don't know much about ight/exposure and so on, but i decided i will soon focus all my pictures of trees to this new stupid way of mine of making paintings. Even my words won't sound right to explain what i have on mind.
So, just facts: we just finished with Murphies recording demos for the new record titled "anyway, your children will deny it", soon we'll be back in a proper studio. And tomorrow we leave again, heading north, as most of the times in the past months. We'll be touring with Sic alps, that makes me happy. Our future is still a gigantic question mark, so i will wait to get back before getting anxious.
Anyway, the new start thing is here, so i will celebrate with some pics, here above, left and right, taken from that mysterious place i talked about a while ago...i got back there after 3 months, together with Figliotucano, C.Lee and our friend Be my delay.
Last picture is taken on Figliotucano's garden.
The new start is also about a new project we have with Figliotucano himself, called Ghostwood project, but i'll talk about it later on the fall.
Ah, almost forgot to say that the new releases are out: 7'' split with HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD, out for Aagoo, Avant!, Boring Machines, Brigadisco, La Délirante and Madcap Collective, and a marvellous 12'' live, recorded last march first at Brigadisco's Cave, down in Itri (100 km souther than Rome).
I will end this weird post with some words taken from somewhere i don't even remember, maybe not even the same source...so it may happen it all will sound akward to you:

It is funny, it is rest. Both came quickly.
Consciusness and selfish, where influence is concerned.

One day we may meet all down the hill.

New post, new camera, but first...

All the pictures in this blog were taken with a Canon Camera (but the one from Lithuania by Figliotucano). Now, C. Lee gave me as birthday present a Nikon, so consider that all the next pics i'll be posting here will be taken with this new black camera.
But, there's always a but, this short short blog does contain three images i took with Vicar V. mobile phone. Trees here are from Musica nelle Valli Festival, in San Martino Spino.
One of the best festival in the whole Europe, where tons of great different bands played.
For more info go to http://www.fooltribe.com
Anyhow, these are the trees who surround and protect the festival over the years.

From july 29th till september 17th Father Murphy will be around Italy and Europe (w/Sic Alps! and The Ex!), touring and touring again (thanks fitz at nomanis.com).
You can find all the dates updated.
It means i'll have so many new pics of different trees, trees that will once again protect our way.
When i was a kid i thought trees were somehow evil, i think it's because of Twin Peaks series. I do understand now that even if Trees will always protect me, it doesn't mean that some sort of Evil won't be after me.

PS soon news about our first 7'' (together with amazing HowMuch wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood) and first LP live (Recorded by our friends at Brigadisco Records during our last visit at their amazing Studio).
