Electro-rock messiahs The Cyborgs are back on the road after a short break. Here are the first dates announced for the coming months:
Thursday 30 November - Latina, Sottoscala9
Friday 1 December - San Giuliano Terme (PI), Pontecorvo Depot
Thursday 7 December - Silvi Marina (TE), Johnny Be Good's
Saturday 9 December - Tivoli (RM), Dissesto Musicale
The Cyborgs' career is growing steadily: from the historic opening of the Wrecking Ball Tour of Bruce Springsteen in Rome to the concerts of Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Deep Purple, John Mayall, Jeff Beck, Eric Sardinas and Johnny Winter, Bob Log III, to participation in major festivals such as Eurosonic and Bestival. The two have conquered Italian, European (Belgium, Holland, Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg) and Canadian (Quebec City, Montreal and Rouyn) stages indiscriminately since their eponymous debut album in 2011.
Two years later comes 'Electric Chair'which sees the Cyborgs engaged in a rediscovery of 70s blues rock. This will be followed in 2014 by the release of three exclusive 45s anticipating the tracks featured in the latest work 'Extreme Boogie' (INRI). The duo decided to stay true to their sound without giving up on experimentation, expanding the range of instruments used and drastically changing the way they live and manage the stage. It is still Cyborg-0 who spreads the word with his voice, his guitar and the ever-present footwork, while Cyborg-1 steps up his game: he continues to handle the rhythmic part of the bass and drums, pulls on a strange three-string guitar, unleashes two new washboards and strange electronic contraptions on his feet, as well as synths and piano, creating a full-bodied sound and acrobatic performance techniques beyond the reach of any human being.
