Event information

Perturbazione, from Rivoli (Turin), is one of the most established and enduring Italian indie bands. Their first single was released in 1996 and their debut album. Waiting to Happen, in 1998.
Influenced by guitar pop bands such as the Smiths, R.E.M. and Belle & Sebastian, Perturbazione set out to renovate the panorama of alternative Italian pop music. They started touring intensively and recorded several tracks for independent compilations. Recognition finally came with the release of 2002's In Circolo, when the animated video of its second single, Agosto, became a favourite of Italian MTV. Their 2005 CD Canzoni allo specchio broadened the band's fan base and garnered excellent reviews. In 2007 Perturbazione released their first major-label record, Pianissimo Fortissimo, for EMI Capitol. It was followed by Del nostro tempo rubato (2010, released by the Italian indie label Santeria) and "Musica X" (Mescal, 2013). In January 2016 they
released their seventh album, "Le storie che ci raccontiamo", produced by Italian producer Tommaso Colliva and recorded in London at Tilehouse Studio. For the subsequent tour, they were joined on stage by singer and musician Andrea Mirò on keyboards, guitar and backing vocals.
In various interviews the band described its own sound as 'anaemic rock', referring to the emotional impact of both lyrics and music and its constant struggle for a missing element, an achievement, a quest for life and its depiction...
This is their first show in London in five years!
