Claude Cambed's new album, HappyGoneSreet, is going to be published at the end of January 2007. The title plays with the assonance to “epigone” a term that describes well this project: to recreate sounds and atmospheres of the classical British pop-rock. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bowie, The Kinks, The Who, Syd Barrett (honoured in the song “I got a sunshine”, incidentally written a few days before the death of the ex Pink Floyd guitarist), Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys (only concession to the American influence), The Police, Xtc are recalled, mixed and put together in an ironic and often surprising manner. Inspirations and icons of this operation are bands such as Rutles, Utopia, Dukes of stratosphear, whom, in the past decades have successfully experimented with the art of “creative remake”. Together with Cambed in this adventure we find the Now, or what is left of “Nunc bibendum est”, a band from Brescia very active between 2000 and 2005, who published an album (L’uomo che faceva esplodere i lampioni) and played many concerts in Italy, Germany and Switzerland. Other noteworthy guests are also present on the album, such as Giovanni Ferrario (ex Micevice, now in Morgan’s band, co-writer of three songs) , Lorenzo Corti (Cristina Donà, Nada, Mau Mau), author of “My buddies” one of the best moments of the album, and Luciano Poli, famous guitar player in the jazz circuit. www.myspace.com/claudecambedthenow
