The project All About Kane was created in March 2008 during a meeting of five musicians (Andy, Eddy, Fabry, Thom e Guido) all previously active in other rock-pop ventures in the Biella area in north Italy and with other professional musical experiences.
The name is a quote taken from the first film directed by Orson Welles, 'Citizen Kane' dated 1941.
The style of the band is orientated towards a type of rock "intimately personal" and sung in English, strongly influenced by British style, able to alternate acoustic sounds with electrical moments with a strong emotional impact, succeeding in demonstrating an original touch in the arrangements.
The international vocation of the group is one of the main characteristics: not remaining 'enclosed' solely inside the Italian circuit but also reaching the European market by proposing a very intense live set of international level.
All About Kane is an ambitious plan where the musical quality combines with a refined estetical idea: the recording and commercialisation of the first EP of 5 tracks, "Trails", will be accompanied by a book of photos, a specific website and by a video of the first single, "Saturday Night Mask", made in collaboration with professionals from that area.
All About Kane are an Italian band. They compose and perform in English and I am particularly aware of their progress.
They were among the 10 finalists, chosen out of hundreds of applicants, in a contest which took place here in Italy. The band which received the most votes won the chance to play at the Sziget Festival '09 which was held in Budapest.
Well All About Kane came second with 9930 votes, only 225 votes behind the winning band. There were however two other awards and it was the organisers who decided which bands would receive them. One was a chance to play at yet another rock concert to be held elsewhere in the summer and the other was... even better than winning the first prize!
Guess what? All About Kane have been awarded the production of 500 CDs
They are thrilled! This is a great recognition by the organisers and to know that a recording company is willing to invest time and money in them is the best thing that could have happened and more than they could have hoped for!
At this point who knows what the future holds!
Great thanks to all who voted for them, thanks also to friends who are already interested in what they are doing.
