Chupaconcha

CHUPACONCHA is an hypnofunk duo formed by Giuliano Gius Cobelli (electric trumpet) and Giorgio Fausto Menossi (drums). The band started in 2007 when the two Italians musicians met again in Barcelona after having briefly collaborated in Italy. Both jazz and hippie lovers, they mixes improvised rock, funk, psychedelic and ambient music in wild and furious sessions and live shows. Since "Juice" and "Jordan" tour intensively with their other bands (Your Kid Sister and Lonely Drifter Karen, respectively) they have little time to dedicate to Chupaconcha. But as Miles Davis once said: "I have always believed not playing with each other for a while is good for a band if they are good musicians and like playing with each other. It just makes the music fresher." Their new EP "THE BESTIA SESSION" is due to be released in June 2010 by the Italian netlabel 51Beats.
