Twenty Four Hours

The New Real Heirs of King Crimson and Pink Floyd
Band/artist history
Twenty Four Hours are probably a psycho-prog-art rock band, though neither their many listeners nor the music press have ever been able to come to a definitive decision as to what category they fit into. Founded in 1985 in the Southern Italian town of Bari, the bands definitive line-up became clear in 1987, namely: NICO COLUCCI, a coin merchant, on bass MARCO LIPPE, who works for a record label in Milan, on drums ANTONIO PAPARELLI, a music teacher, on guitar PAOLO LIPPE, a medical oncologist, on keyboards and lead vocals The songs are mainly by Paolo and Antonio, but the other two often play a vital role in the process, especially Marco. The fact that they live in different towns means that recording is packed into special free spells at a trullo near Alberobello; they have their own multitrack computing recording equipment, and they have never used sampled sound, apart from the occasional keyboard sequence, and (like the group Primus), have never been inside a recording studio. From April 1993 to december 1998, their album have been released by Mellow Records (FOR ORDERS: www.mellowrecords.com). Since April 1999, they have been signed up by MUSEA RECORDS (FOR ORDERS: www.musearecords.com).
