Polemica (European Tour 2016)

wstęp - 20 zł
POLEMICA is an international 4-piece thinkrock band based in Italy. From the name to the lyrics to the music, POLEMICA challenges social models and provokes critical questions. Though the project is new, the musicianship is honed, and the spirit is infectious. Hilary Binder (SABOT, Kačkala) pours her heart and intellect into the emotional and politicized lyrics, deftly delivered over solid, and occasionally quirky, music collectively composed with Giulio Marino (Materiale resistente, Disorchestra) on bass, Zilly (Lady malferma, Crazy children) on guitar and synth, and Vik Di Santo (Aforisma, The Suricates) on drums. POLEMICA is set to release their highly- anticipated debut album "Keep Your Laws Off My Mind" on September 20.
POLEMICA is:
Giulio - bass;
Hilary - vocals;
Vik - drums;
Zilvio - guitar and synth

extended band bio:
Giulio and Zilvio met on stage a few years ago through respective music projects and in December 2015, after a short collaboration, decided to start a new band. Vik soon joined as the drummer and, thus, the decisive next step was to find the "voice". The search ended when, while participating in the first evening of improvised music at the cultural association INVIZIN, they met Hilary, the association founder and American musician, a multifaceted artist who right away agreed to try out as the singer in the new project. The band began working on new material, inserting Hilary's lyrics full of political and social themes, as well as introspection and irony. And the name arrived: p o l e m i c a. Soon after, they recorded a 5-song demo, live to capture the best energy. Since then, while continuing to work on new material, the band played their first live concerts in Tornareccio, Piane d'Archi, Florence, and Lanciano, and will release the first album, Keep Your Laws Off My Mind in September 2016.
