Utopia 239 (RPI)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

The roots of Utopia 239 date back to 1971 when in a village of the
province of Vercelli called Lignana four friends formed a band to
play covers and compose original stuff inspired by Italian canzone
d’autore and progressive rock bands such as Pink Floyd or Le
Orme. During their early years the band never had the chance to
properly record and release an album and they split up at the end of
the seventies. It wasn’t until 2002 that some of the old members
reunited and decided to rework on their early repertoire taking it
back from oblivion. In 2015 they finally self-released a debut album
entitled I giorni dell’utopia (The days of Utopia) with a
renewed line up featuring along with the veterans Massimo Cagliero
(guitar, keyboards, vocals), Ugo Giva Magnetti (guitar, vocals) and
Fausto Garella (drums, percussion, vocals) also Fabrizio Gallina
Sabarino (keyboards, synth), Enrico Barbano (electric and classical
guitar), Fosca Zanone (vocals, classical guitar) and Alberto Bocchio
(bass).
