Scott Mercado was born in Montrose, Scotland -- but grew up in Virginia and California. By age 15, he was playing clubs in L.A. For 10 years, while mostly playing drums in bands, he was always writing and recording songs at home (and for the bands he was in). After finishing college in San Diego, Scott started playing guitar, keys, and singing in Via Satellite. Very soon after, Manuok was born. Manuok started as bedroom project -- a diary. After years of tours and albums with other bands, Scott had scores of songs waiting in the wings. Writing, recording, and mixing almost entirely alone, the first Manuok album is all over the map and deeply centered all at once. Released on Loud And Clear records, the album was immediately a success with fans and critics - giving Scott awards and nominations, great reviews, and best of all, a band. Soon after, Scott/Manuok was touring and recording with great bands. Since the initial release, Scott has recorded alongside The Album Leaf (SubPop – City Slang), Horse-Stories (Australia - Europe), Mr. Tube (Cargo UK - Sweet Nothing), Maquiladora (Acuarela - Spain), The Soft Lightes (Modular), Pilotram (Transient Frequency - USA), Trost (Four Music, Germany), Tristeza (Better Looking, Bella Union), Devics (Filter, Bella Union), Via Satellite (Loud and Clear – USA, Human Highway - Japan) and many more. In addition to recording, Manuok has toured with or shared the stage with bands like Album Leaf, Rogue Wave, Jeremy Enigk, Devics, The Black Heart Procession, DMBQ, and the Radar Bros. Meanwhile, Scott had the opportunity to be a touring member of many great bands. Choosing to spend most of his time touring with The Black Heart Procession in 2006-2007, Scott also toured with Devics, Ilya,Tristeza, and of course, Manuok. Once again while time and tours passed, Scott amassed a huge number of songs. In early 2008 Scott put the final touches on the first new album(s) for Manuok. |

The release of the demo has immediately carried the band to tour in Italy and abroad (Sziget Festival of Budapest, Berlin, Vienna, Spalato…). In November 2006 Grimoon's first official album "La lanterne magique" produced by Giovanni Ferrario was published. The album was released together with a dvd containing a feature film which was created by the band itself and has been recieved with excellent approvals from the public and from the press. In 2007, Grimoon have also been recording their new album "les 7 vies du chat", in collaboration with a lot of guests.

Dark Summer (Sepiatone)

Marta Collica is an Italian songwriter active in Europe and Australia. Since 2004 shes part of the new John Parish band and together they recorded the new album Once Upon a Little Time which has seen a worldwide release last september (Thrill Jockey,Usa). Shes also well known for her collaboration with Hugo Race in their outfit Sepiatone and for touring as keyboard player and vocalist in the latest band formation of Hugos True Spirit. Firmly part of the Italian underground music scene, she founded the band Songs with Other Strangers, a creative encounter between a diverse group of international songwriters and musicians (Hugo Race, Cesare Basile, Stef Kamil Carlens, Manuel Agnelli, Marta Collica ,Giorgia Poli and Jean Marc Butty). Beside singing, Marta plays piano, rhodes, hammond, synth she likes to explore a wide range of electronic and analogic sounds; her original style combines minimal arrangements and a unique kind of playing, stumbling unpredictably between delicacy and distortion. In Martas solo act the shape of her songwriting is stripped back to the intensity of voice and piano with occasional guest interventions, driven by experimenting with the moment of performance. The live set gives and intense interpretations of the collection of new songs she wrote and recorded at home and at The Cave studio in Catania under the name Pretty and Unsafe (together with Hugo, Cesare Basile, Enrico Sorbello, Giorgia Poli, as Daniele Grasso and John Parish mixed the tracks) as well as some ballads from the new second album of Sepiatone Darksummer produced by Hugo Race together with Mick Harvey.

Tonto
|
Starts making music in the late 80s, beginning with experimental electronic music in 1990. Expands to a 360° experimentation, taking and manipulating sounds of any kind and origin: synths, traditional instruments, daily objects, tape loops, short-wave radio jams, environment sounds, human voices and so on. Works with total stylistic freedom, preferring total (and often wild) improvisations to song-like structures. Things like rhythm and melody are most of the times absent. The main interest is sound/noise. But he also brings on a more melodic side, with compositions ranging from classic kosmische-musik to minimalism (more and more melancholic and introspective as years go by). Starts his own tape-label, Vacca Stracca Recordings, in the early 90s. In these early years he also is guitarist (founder) of the hardcore-punk-rock-ska-samba-waltz-avant-cartoon-surrealist band Piripacchio & I Mostriciattoli. After a pretty long break in the late 90s, in 2000 he starts his activity of composer for sountracks, going further with his electronic experience and adding new genres to his palette of sounds. Between 2000 and 2001 collaborates with El Funeral De Kocis playing theremin. In 2002 starts a collaboration with Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti, and more specificly with the Señor Tonto project, for whom he conceives an entire record, plus a downloadable single. At the end of 2003 he meets Grimoon, with the new role of bass player, starting an intense collaboration.

| Vega Enduro | |||
Albums:
Big Time 25:33 p.m.
Vega Enduro |
Vega Enduro is a band of old fellas coming from VIEWS, a group formed by Giovanni Ferrario and active back in 1984-1994 (discography: NAMBY-PAMBY Trough mlp1988; MUMMYCAT Crazy Mannequin lp1990). In 1994 they come back together with Vittorio Carli and take the name of Vega Enduro. In 1992 has been released Vega Enduro's first album for the label Urtovox. In 2005, Macaco Records and Desvelos Records release their new album "big time 25:33 p.m.". On top of the psichedelic attitude, this cd lives of the light and the freshness that normally permeate Micevice's works, also because in the meantime Ferrario, has participated to Morgan's and australian Hugo Race's tours, and jumping from that to some artistic production (the last one is Filofobia with “Entrée du port” – Desvelos 2004) Other influences in Big Time 25:33 p.m. are Television, Robin Hitchcok and Julian Cope. Liquid ballads like floating magma that sticks to your feet and doesn't let you go away for good. |
