about
The Intelligence Dept. is a new wave band founded in 1982 in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. In the first years of activity there are a lot of changes in the formation, the group finds a definitive asset in 1984 when Susanna Zaghi joins the band as vocalist. Th other members of the Italligence Dept. are: Stefano “Dedo” Panzera (bass), Gian Paolo Di Federico (keyboards), Davide Carlotti (sax & synth). With this formation the band records the first demo tape, with songs such "Sleeping City", "Too Late Too Love" and "Anger Inside". The same 3 songs that immediately later will be enclosed into the split record compilation "A White Chance", together with tracks from Plastic Trash and Go Flamingo! (2 other very good bands from the same city of the Intelligence Dep.). The track "Anger Inside" will be used into another compilation of this period: "Indipendenti '84" (a sort of festival organized by Fare Musica review, where the band plays in the final contest). In 1985 a new demo-tape is produced by the band: "The Big Trouble". With the new tracks they will play in the new edition of the Indipendenti festival managed another time by Fare Musica in 1986. They will arrive another time in the final stages with a very good appreciation of public and critics. The band with this new festival gains a lot of tv shots thanks to the Videomusic transmissions (the first important musical TV in Italy), partner of the festival. After this laudable partecipation, the band starts a new period of
