Belle Vue in action again! After the “Weekender” of 2006 and the second edition of “The Athenaeum Cave” a brand new club is ‘blooming’, the “Modernground Express”. In its first appearance, in collaboration with Milano Mods, on 24th of November at Underworld club (Themistokleous & 5, Gamveta str. Athens - GR) and on 25th of November at B Live club in Larissa, we proudly present, two bands from our neighboring Italy that have left indelible their traces in the RnR way. The Sick Rose from Turin with more than twenty years in the limelight and The Cavemen from Ravenna for the first time in Greece accompanied with the natives, The Sound Explosion! So many things to say for them!
It was somewhere in the 1984 when, Luca Re and his band for the first time touched the instruments and went up on stage! From the release of their first e.p. “Get Along Girl!” on Electric Eye rec. in 1986 up to our days and the release of “Blasting Out” on Teen Sound rec. with Australian producer Dom Mariani, many years passed, many things have changed (maybe some of them a little bit), but still remains an authentic RnR group, with constant values and principals. When The Sick Rose made their debut in Italy their sound was not familiar to the local music statement. Genuine representatives of sixties American garage scene, without losing their Italian character during the time, thanks to the accent of their leader Luca Re. That season were two superior bands, according to Timothy Gassen’s book “Knights of Fuzz 1980-1995”: The Chesterfield Kings and The Sick Rose!
On the same stage, The Cavemen, intellectual children of Massimo del Pozzo with the well known in our days “Teen Sound”, mixing with their genius way, the sounds of garage punk groups of the other side of Atlantic ocean with the European RnB and Italian beat of the '60s decade!
Also the same night, the Greeks “The Sound Explosion”, almost fifteen years in action with many appearances in n’ out of the borders, need no introduction as they cause delirium to every garage maniac!
The concert follows an all night party with Belle Vue d.j.s behind the decks and special guest, Henry from Milano Mods playing the sounds of the sixties underground on the original labels & hard to find 45’s!
