1999-2009: THE ODYSSEY AND 'THE ROCK AND OVER
11 July 1999 - December 11, 2009
been 10 years and 5 months exactly from the official separation of Litfiba. We fans of this Litfiba we suffered the hardest music of the diaspora: one is the greatest rocker and frontman that Italy has ever had, the other one of the most imaginative Italian guitarists of 80-90 years. After being together musically for 19 years, peace is over, and both they go their own way. Neither, nor their fans, will know how hard this separation: Piero is a full house, only the first album and thanks to the wave of positive previous successes with the band, Ghigo replaces his old comrade in adventure with a good singer , vocally strong, but forced to constantly having to deal with Mr. Pelù.
things, musically speaking, are bad for both: Ghigo produce a debut album that are more negative things than anything else, Piero idem. Litfiba The post-99 create a good "second round" with Pitfall and then destroy it all with an album, "To be or seem" is chilling in arrangements and in some ridiculous lyrics. At our
Piero is better: UDS will be remembered more for songs such as' Love Imagined "by Anggun than anything else. and meanwhile the public is beginning to abandon him as well ...
With Lost Objects, and especially "Face" things begin to change, at least from the standpoint of the songs, because (alas) the attendance of the public is in full meltdown. "Phenomena" is
certify the level of the previous album but shows no signs of waking up in the audience.
Until December 11, 2009 ...
After weeks in which they were running the frantic voice of a possible reunion (voices, to tell the truth, they returned to the surface every 2 years) here the bombshell: Piero & Ghigo back together after a long period of slow rapprochement with the first human and then artistic.
The news media creates a commotion just unbelievable: the first to break the news are Elio e le Storie Tese, always fans of Litfiba, who announced even before the official announcement to come out of the two. Finally begins tam tam newspapers: All the news report on the first page of the "Entertainment", along with the announcement of the first mini-tour dates of the reunion.
4 dates (Milan 13 / 4, Florence 16 / 4, Rome 19 / 4, Acireale 21 / 4) that the opening day of pre-sales are already nearly sold out. In 3 DAYS!!
Now the Odyssey is really over:
ROCK WELCOME BACK, WELCOME BACK LITFIBA
