Trip hop, punk and '80s hits ... what? WOT !
This is how the band was born in 2000 in Catania: the desire to Nello, ch experience and came from trip hop, and Ivo who lived the punk rock band Green Day and Offspring . Later joined by the two Mick: Mick little through an advertisement in the newspaper, big Mick was looking for himself after the experience of Sanremo with Archinuè. For the name entrusted to hit 80's Captain Sensible, Wot adopting Americanism as the name for their band.
" It 's true that begin with a question in front of you never get bored ever - tells me big Mick, aka Michael Musa, bassist -. At the bottom there is always something to ask. At the moment such as we wonder how it will come out of this ruling anything. We have taken all productive roles beginning of our journey, from building tools, to advertise, mix and produce an album. We have always put a lot of instinct, taste and very few rules - Michele continues -. Indeed, if there is a rule that there is always present is to have fun do not take themselves too seriously. That 's what you save when you're under contract for two years and does not move anything, otherwise you will trigger the process in search of the culprit that often lead to the implosion .
And the whole design philosophy of Wot is contained in the title of their album " Handyman ," the handyman masterfully synthesized from the picture Cover: an old bedford for the transport of horses changed hand so that animals could get in and out easily. Brilliant.
a much sun and summer Handyman, mock light-hearted, which suggests much to the atmosphere from Orange County California, though with many references to the British scene. But Wot is a band to live, that the disc lost some 'extraordinary charge of energy that can put on stage. " It 's true - Michele admits - the disc still did not please me at the end because he knew too much to study. I think in the booklet of the next record will add a page with strips of ephedrine lick while listening to the songs. But this is not the teaching that we give young people, rather I would say that between Tremonti and there are Bonino Wot, you have to take advantage. We hardly see the government, but can also be institutional .
sing in English Wot's, but listen to a lot of Italian music by Bobby Solo on the Baustelle (to keep only the "B"). Perhaps a risk in the era of the return of the Italian singer. " We are born so - Michele tells me -. Ivo, the singer, in English has found the perfect way to express themselves. Transmission tests were done in Italian, with a couple of pens behind the authoritative text, but the result does not look like us. As indeed we are not preachers of doom or imminent complex relationships with no way out. It 's a concept expressed in Better than Tomorrow : if you ask an old man like you to answer is' worse than yesterday, but better than tomorrow,' which is an absolute optimism ".
to resemble each other are the stories, true stories of extraordinary ordinary people, whose simplicity's Wot have the ' incisive they sought. " We have a geography that these stories - Big Mick explains to me -, where they are us. The Same Dress from '69 is sweet and sad story of a woman who saw from her betrothed for a war. She is still there waiting for him with the same dress and everything that fills p fill u writing papers, notebooks, tables, sheets, posters ... she's Crivi of his love, everywhere. Maria there and this song is for you. Like the rest, there Kutsko and Gina and his dog and Mr Want Gold and Mr Watermelon Coco but you can hear the next album - anticipates Michele - , but also in our lives that is the best way we know to break in our new work. In the studio must have the smell on the concert, which is an approach that many have lost. As for us but it is always the public to decide, the only problem is finding places to play .
