15/04/09: EASY STAR'S LONELY HEARTS DUB BAND ON TOUR 2-5 JULY

They couldn't miss the appointment with the Italian summer, now that even the Belpaese has taken notice of them! We are talking about the Easy Star All - Starsprobably the most important reggae/dub band in the world right now, announcing three dates in Italy in July in conjunction with the release of the new album "Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (released yesterday in the UK and from next Friday in Italian shops).
The title of the new work leaves little doubt as to which album from the past the multi-ethnic line-up has decided to interpret this time: after Pink Floyd and Radiohead it is the turn of four baronets of Liverpool and their masterpiece "Sgt. Pepper's ... ".
The first single extracted "With a little help from my friends" has already been in the Italian charts for three weeks, which demonstrates the great popularity the band has now acquired thanks to their sound and their bizarre ideas of reviving great rock classics.
After their appearance at the Sanremo Festival, strongly desired by Paolo Bonolis, the Easy Star All-Stars were the protagonists of a beautiful concert at the Hiroshima in Turin, which was packed for the occasion.
With this in mind, we can safely say that they are the highlight of this summer's raggae festivals in Italy.

Thursday 02 July - Rome - Villa Ada
Saturday 04 July - Sestri Levante (GE) - Mojotic Festival c/o Baia del Silenzio
Sunday 05 July - Osoppo (UD) - Rototom Sunsplash c/o Rivellino Park
