Band History:
Anna, Rino e Matteo play together since 1993.
The first demo tape – called “Your flexible trend” - was released in 1994.
“Twim”, the second collection of AF songs, was released in 1995: at the same time, the band begins to play a huge number of gigs all around Italy, sharing the stage with such bands as Uzeda.

“2She2”, the third AF demo, is dated on 1997; in this period, the band shoots three videos (“Shirley Temple”, “Bristol”, “The world is mine”) for Ekomusic.

The fourth demo tape, called “OUAT”, is out just a year later; in 1998 Anna and Rino, supported by Manfredi, also found Monow, a space pop band.

In 2002 Af appears on “15id. fiteen italian dishes”, a compilation released by raving records and distributed in Italy by Wide: the song chosen by AF for taking part on this collection is “Formichina”, which allows to AF to get an unanimous critical acclaim.
But during the last year AF also find time to work on the brand new demo, ///ENTARTETE MUSIK, released on May, 2003.
Valerio "Valgriz" Griselli (from Virginiana Miller, renowned Italian band which AF already worked with for “Nobodybut”, a song you can easily download on www.musix.it/loser) produced and recorded these 5 tracks.
