28/04/09: THE LONG HOT SUMMER OF J-AX

The tour of J-Ax in the summer version. After the resounding success for the club tour in March with 7 sold out concerts, Ax reunites the band and, at the TavaRock festival in Tavagnasco, in the province of Turin, offers a preview on 2 May of the show that from June will see him perform all over Italy.
The show, in which J - Ax is again accompanied on stage by Space One, Fabio-B, Guido Style and Dj ZakIt brings to the open air the high energy of the club concert, of which it retains the musical structure: over two hours of live music, 30 tracks on the setlist, an unprecedented mix of electronic music and rock'n'roll riffs, contagious enthusiasm on stage and below, edgy rhymes, songs you won't forget from the latest album Rap'n'Roll and from J-Ax's previous releases as a solo artist and with Articolo 31.
"Rap N' Roll", released on 23 January (on the SonyMusic - Best Sound label), has so far produced a generational 'anthem' like "Old Men Make O"This was the first single to be released and remained in the charts of the most played songs on the radio for a long time. The next, 'Three Little Ducks', a bitter snapshot of the faux-glamorous society that teenagers often aspire to be a part of, is set to become a catchphrase among the best Ax has produced during his long career. J-Ax continues his triumphant season, which between 2007 and 2008 has already seen him reach platinum status with 'Of sound mind'his first solo work post Article 31. Next came the victory at the MTV Music Awards as Best Italian Act. On the 2007 tour, J-Ax, accompanied on stage by The Styles, showed what musical direction he had in mind, faithful to his origins as a rap artist with a brilliant slogan, but contaminated by a passion for rock. Rap N'Roll, not coincidentally produced by Guido Style, and long since surpassing the threshold of 50,000 copies sold, definitively brought into focus J-Ax's dual musical soul, and the current tour is none other than the live transposition of this renewed energy.
