Christabel Dreams [Ita]


Christabel Dreams 2007

Hailing from the Eternal City, the new wave, post-punk, alternative rock trio Christabel Dreams moved its first step back in autumn of 2005. After reharsing and setting up songs for over a year, the band entered the Wolf Studio to cut its first record. The first self-titled cd was entirely produced by the More’s mastermind Gianmarco Bellumori, already producer of Avant-Garde and other roman outfits. During the recording sessions Christabel Dreams involved the drummer Andrea Cruciani (former of the hardcore-noise band The Orange Man Theory) who recorded all the drum parts. While waiting for some responses from the worldwide press and music environments, the band is now working on the new material with the help of a drum machine.
