The Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago presents an exclusive concert of ITALIAN SURF ACADEMY at the Jazz Gallery for the Arts, Milwaukee.
ITALIAN SURF ACADEMY is a trio led by New York based guitarist Marco Cappelli, featuring bassist Damon Banks and drummer Dave Miller. The band plays a blend of Spaghetti Western, Exotica and Tex Mex, marinated in vintage Italian sauce.
One third of the night will be dedicated to their album Barbarella Reloaded – a surf reinterpretation of the iconic 1968 Barbarella soundtrack’s- followed by the suite Morricone is Dissolving, written and performed by poet Denver Butson, who will be joining the band as special guest. Echoes of Mario Bava horror B-movies mixed with Martin Danny’s Hawaiian sound will be heard in the last part of the concert, taken by their last album Fake Worlds.
Tickets: $20
