Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

No technical requirements


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and the space where we will play. We usually ask for a changing room so we can get ready without people walking in and out.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We don't need any sound or lighting equipment given that we are a roaming band that plays mostly during aperitivo hours


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

N.A.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Our most unforgettable performance took place in Portofino, at an exclusive celebration for the world’s top clients of the Bulgari brand, the very place where our project was born. The atmosphere of the venue blended perfectly with our 1950s-inspired aesthetic, creating a truly immersive experience for the audience.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love performing at all kinds of events, but we truly shine at vintage-inspired weddings and exclusive themed parties, where our musical and visual style can really make a lasting impression.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started with a marching band 20 years ago for public events and from that marching band we created a 5 piece acustic band.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

50's and 60's, swing, jazz and italian classics.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We usually arrive about 60 minutes before the performance to set up our equipment and run a soundcheck. Our standard format includes two 45-minute sets, but we’re flexible and always happy to adapt the schedule to the flow of the event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely. For outdoor performances we simply require a shaded or covered area and a flat, stable surface to ensure the safety of our instruments.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Our repertoire is a carefully curated selection of Italian and international classics from the 1950s and 1960s. Clients are welcome to choose their favorite songs from our list, and we’re also happy to learn up to two special requests outside our repertoire (for moments like a first dance), provided we receive advance notice.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We heard that what makes us special is our ability to move through the event and interact with the audience, turning the music into a living experience rather than just a background performance. The musicians are incredibly talented, charismatic, and stylish; perfectly capturing the spirit of the Italian “dolce vita.”


what makes us different from other bands?

What makes us unique is that we’re not just a band; we create a complete vintage experience. Inspired by the Italian Dolce Vita of the 1950s and 60s, our performances combine elegant retro style, carefully selected classics and a dynamic marching-band format that allows us to move through the event and interact with guests.

Instead of a traditional stage performance, we bring the music directly to the audience, transforming the event into a lively and immersive atmosphere. The result is a stylish, joyful show that feels both authentic and unforgettable.
