about
PAOLO SIANI was the original drummer of the classic RPI band NUOVA IDEA from Genova. That band came from a 60s group called PLEP and its members also contributed to The Underground Set/The Psycheground Group projects. As Nuova Idea they released three good albums in the early 70s, the final one "Clowns" something of a favorite among fans. Despite the recordings and good live activity the band split around 1973, with members Siani and Ricky Belloni going on to form the band TRACK. In the later 70s Siani would play with both EQUIPE 84 and OPUS AVANTRA. (See our listing of Nuova Idea for the 1970s albums listings.) In 2010 Siani released his first solo album, an ambitious concept album called "Castles, wings, stories & dreams". The music and lyrics were composed solely by Siani and he produced the album as well. He also expanded from drums and vocals to share keyboard and guitar duties on the album. He is joined by an army of friends including Belloni, Giorgio Usai, and Marco Zoccheddu of Nuova Idea, Mauro Pagani, Joe Vescovi (ex-TRIP), and many others. The album was released by Genova's own Black Widow Records. -Jim Russell / Finnforest User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
