Tredici Bacci

New York band Tredici Bacci's particular brand of Morricone soundtrack-inspired Italian pop music was far and away one of the most entertaining things i saw at SXSW a couple of years ago when the group performed one of the day parties i attended.  And now, with a new record headed our way in March, i can only hope that means that a return to Austin is in store for us as well.  Listen to the JG Thirlwell assisted "Emmanuelle" below and pre-order the "La Fine Del Futuro" LP here from NNA Tapes.

Tredici Bacci

Three days into SXSW, and despite a day cut short due to a sick child, i think i may have found my favorite act of the festival.  Boston's Tredici Bacci make wonderful homages to 1960's Italian film scores, a kind of mix of chamber pop, baroque orchestral movements, and a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor.  The 10-piece band's live act also threw in some No Wave type chaos and some irreverent stage banter into the mix as well.  I loved every second of it.  Listen to "Drowned" featuring the lovely Jennifer Charles on guest vocals and score the "Amore Per Tutti" LP from NNA Records.
