Under My Bed:_The Frozen Fracture

The The Frozen Fracture. Stereo Guitar Band. The band was formed in December 1997, as a guitar duo, due to the impossibility to find suitable bandmates, but with the hope to integrate at least a drummer. However, with time going on, the band grew condident in the line up, and started to experiment with desynchronisation of the guitars lines, making the most out of the lack of a preset rithmic section. From 1997 to 2001, we have released a series of demo tapes, entitle My Mistake, An Un-usueful Introduction, The Thermal Sink, and The Party over the Lake Surface. However, Andrea left the band in 2001, and also due to the commitment of Stefano to its alternative project My Dear Killer, the progress in writing and recording songs sensibly slowed down. Nevertheless, The Frozen Fracture contributed a song calle Electron Spin Echo Envelope Modulation to the "Mixed Tapes Kept Under My Bed" compilation in 2002. The band also took part in the Sylvia Plath tribute entitled I am vertical in 2003. For the occasion Gavin Baker, also in Billy Mahonei, Jet Johnson, Meets Guitar, Gliders and many more exciting projects, played the guitar and various other kind ofpercussions, including and Hedgehog!. Another song called Kim is present on the 3rd volume of the UMB compilations "More Tapes Kept Under My Bed", released in 2004. Kim has been re-released, together with a song called Lorna, as a short demo, entitled Portraits, in 2005. This was meant to be a much more complete collections of songs, but was limited to the best out-takes of a few recording sections, and then the recorder broke down irreversibly.
In 2006 we have contributed to the 2nd volume of the UMB split series "5 pezzi facili", which also features Mr60. The band contribution is entitled "Rare Earths Noble Gases", and is a collection of episodes recorded in various occasions between 1999 & 2001.
In 2005, Niki joined The Frozen Fracture. Thus, we are back to a full organic. We are currently working on a bunch of songs that we would like to record in brief spell of time and which is tentatively entitled "We deserve a new beginnig to get back from where we started".
