The story of The LoveCrave was born amongst the
metropolitan ashes of the big city, Milan united with the gothic and silent
atmosphere of Venice.
The band is formed of two experienced rock
musicians from Milan and two old, good friends of Venice origin that moved to
Milan to make music. The mix of sounds is an explosive magic potion and The
LoveCrave realized it right away when they played together for the first time.
The experience and the great artistic discharge of every component of the band
ooze like an evil Venice fog that covers your heart at the first listen.
Experimentation and sound research have been fundamental, with no limits and
with a never satisfied attitude, working during the night and putting every
extra cent on the work.
Tank Palamara, guitarist and producer of
The LoveCrave, has 10 years of tours and rock productions under his
belt, decides that it's time to get serious and the engine begins to
run.
Francesca Chiara, Venetian rock act of the Italian scene
splits from Sony Music Italy and with her melodies and with her acid voice
enchants The LoveCrave's atmospheres. She takes care of all the
graphics, curing every detail and she invents Rain, her 3D alter ego. She also
writes a fiction story, "The angel and the rain", that pieces all the
songs together and that will be found in the cd booklet.
Iakk
plays drums with Tank Palamara and Francesca Chiara for the past 5 years
and he takes care of the live sets and organizes rehearsals.
Simon
Dredo, Francesca's best friend from high school, coming from a tour in
England is the last to join the band as bass player in March 2005.
Tank
and Francesca, co-writers for many years, write about 15 songs in less than a
month and that's how a live metal band becomes a serious project aiming to the
music industry. What The LoveCrave were looking for during the
recordings was a rough, elegant and new sound at the same time, taking
inspiration also from Iron Maiden and eighties sound to the Depeche Mode,
curing every detail but trying to leave that instinctive and rough edge
untouched. They create in their mind a sort of Blade Runner world and try to
put music in it.
