Occasionally, some really great musical gems come out of the dark fogs of Northern Italy, and his band from Mantova certainly counts in that category. Well, actually the city (with some 50,000 inhabitants) is an exception in the usually very industrial north of Italy, as being surrounded by three lakes and having a rich and beautiful historical center (the town dating back to the 6th century!) rather makes it a touristic attraction.
"Rock star Sid Vicious is dead," are the words with which the BBC Radio's news anchor man started his late afternoon show, and the sample from that same broadcast also starts the actual opening track “Sid” on Seta's debut album Interferenze (which incidentally is also the title of the album opening instrumental intro, which consists of 42 minutes of synth sounds and a couple of very short samples from that same news broadcast – larger samples are then used during “Sid”).
Line up:
Dee Kivlehan – guitar
Decky Donohoe – drums
Dave McLaughlin – bass
Stevie McLaughlin – guitar
Sean McBay – vocals
