Davide Ariasso

Born in the early '70s, as a child he was a child of the '70s. In the '80s, along with an entire generation, he turned into an '80s teenager. Through Shake The Disease he discovered Jesus and Mary Chain and Felt. In the early '90s, his first trip to England. It was the year of Screamadelica, and he dressed up as an Englishman in baggy trousers, even though of the PS he always and only loved Sonic Flower Groove. He studied film, and his great love came out semi-unscathed from the edges of Cinecittà. In Turin and the surrounding province, he sketched out a hard-living Italian singer-songwriter persona, and even ended up singing garage-punk. In the summer of 2004, in Jesi, he had a revelatory vision. He quietly resurfaced in England, where he put down a few roots in the West Country. There he mixed with a varied community of musicians, chemical engineers, puppeteers and burlesque dancers. He loves Cornwall, the Cinque Terre and Lisbon. Since 2004 he has contributed to OndaRock with reviews, interviews and artist profiles.
