E.A. Poe

about

E.A. Poe was an Italian progressive rock band from Ornago, Milan. The group had been formed around 1967 as Angelo e gli Spacemen, with the leader Angelo being much older than all the pre-teen kids. When Angelo left the group in 1969, the teenagers kept playing, adopting the name E.A.Poe in 1970. The band initially had a repertoire of covers, by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, and Deep Purple, then began composing original material, having a good live activity in their area. Their identity had been surrounded by mystery until they released Generazioni (Storia di Sempre) in 1974 on the Kansas label. Generazioni was an obscure release even by Italian standards with an initial pressing of 500. The group kept playing until the end of 1976, recording two singles for the Shark label, one under their full name Edgar Allan Poe, that includes a rendition of the Jaws film theme, the second as backing group for the singer Luca Simonelli in his Edgar Allan Poe or E A Poe was formed in 1972 by Giorgio Foti (Chico) vocals and keyboards, Beppe Ronco (Ronbe) guitar and mandolin, Lello Foti (14 at the time) drummer, and Marco Maggi (Avvocato) bass. I (Marco) met Giorgio in high school where we spent a few years together. One day, I went to his house and then to a practice place where we played some music. The bass player had just left the band so I jammed with them, messing around with the bass. I remember that day - playing while Giorgio yelled at me the notes to be play
