About

Researches begun years ago, diggin’ dusty vinyl crates for obscure samples. The discovery of Italian '60s and '70s soundtracks was a crucial point; from that moment on nothing sounded as good and interesting as electrifying tracks from exploitation movies. By the summer of 2007 time was ready and producer Tommaso Colliva (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Phoenix, Arto Lindsay) invited an incredible jam band formed by Massimo Martellotta (Stewart Copeland, Eugenio Finardi, Mauro Pagani) on guitars and lapsteels, Enrico Gabrielli (Afterhours, Mariposa, Morgan) keyboards and brass, Fabio Rondanini (Pino Marino, Roberto Angelini, Collettivo Angelo Mai) on drums and Luca Nano Cavina (Transgender, Lindo Ferretti, Beatrice Antolini) on bass to record at omniaB studios in Milan. During that first two days long recording session Calibro 35 became a killer combo performing classic and obscure themes, trying to bring something contemporary to the compositions but still remaining very respectful to the originals. Original tunes appeared soon with the same aim, recreating the attitude, the sound and that strange mixture between jazz, funk, rock, classical and improvisation that made Italian soundtracks known worldwide. Band started touring few months later, having his first ever gigs in Luxemburg and Belgium and then moving back to Italy for some very crowded show during spring and summer 2008. Meanwhile the single "L'Appuntamento" gave Calibro35 lot of airplay on commercial radios. Both traditional (BBC Funk&Soul show among the others) and online European radios played "Italia A Mano Armata" and other songs from the debut CD. The first self-titled album came out on October 2008 on Cinedelic records, CDs and double LPs is now available worldwide.
