Furious World Blog

Belladonna, an incredible noir-rock band from Italy, stopped by the Furious World in October!  They gave an incredibly energetic performance- heck, my ears are still ringing!  Plus, the band had style. Check out those sunglasses the bass player is wearing!  Dani, the lead guitar player, had this to say about their experience on our show-

“Participating to Peter Himmelmann’s Furious World was one of the most exhilarating experience we’ve ever had as a band! Yes, we are only a new band, but having already shared stages with the likes of Nine inch Nails and Dita Von Teese – to name but two – we’ve had our fair share of thrills – yet our Furious World experience was truly something else!

First of all, the sheer courtesy and loveliness of all the staff was beyond belief: it felt like home from the minute we stepped into the studio, and even though we were supposed to leave right after our performance for a previously scheduled appointment somewhere else in L.A. we just didn’t!! We were having too great a time to even contemplate that!

And meeting Peter – the man himself! – was a bit like meeting one of the Fantastic Four or Father Christmas: a character waaaay larger than life, with enough energy to supply electricity to a small country, a total, total music enthusiast and above all a diamond guy and true joy to be with! The man has to be experienced to be believed!! During our interview with him we almost didn’t get a word in edgeways and not because he didn’t let us – far from it! -  but because we didn’t want to!! It was just so awesome listening to him that we had no desire to stop him, ever!! We mean, why waste your time with Peter Himmelmann talking when you can just marvel at the words and worlds he comes up with?? We did not make that mistake, and the experience was a most unforgettable, inspiring and pleasurable one!

Now we have just played a great showcase in London, we have many European dates lined up in early 2010, we are already songwriting for a new record… but the thing we are looking forward the most is for when we’ll be in L.A. again, so to have a reason to ask Peter to have us on Furious World again!! They say the second time is always better than the first one… …we guess that if we’ll have another rocknoir jam with Peter the whole studio will just explode!! That’s the only way we can possibly top what happened on our first visit there!! Furious World? Indeed!! And a truly, truly beautiful one…”

“All our love to you, Peter and everyone at Furious World from em and the band+ totally looking forward to hearing from you soon!!!

Dani”

Thanks for the great words, Dani!  It was a pleasure meeting everyone in Belladonna- please say hi to Luana, Alex, Alice, and Tam from all of us at the Furious World!
