Uzeda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uzeda is a Sicilian math rock group founded in 1987, consisting of lead singer Giovanna Cacciola, guitarists Agostino Tilotta and Giovanni Nicosia, bassist Raffaele Gulisano and drummer Davide Oliveri. Producer Steve Albini recorded three of their records, and significantly contributed to the evolution of their sound: fiery, nervous, sludgy, and unpredictable, with sudden time changes and wild dynamics. Giovanni Nicosia left the band in 1995.
After the live tour promoting Different Section Wires, the band went on a lengthy hiatus, and Giovanna Cacciola and Agostino Tilotta subsequently formed Bellini, along with drummer Damon Che from Don Caballero. During this period, Davide Oliveri and Raffaele Gulisano recorded the 2001 album Aria with Gianna Nannini, as well as music for Enzo D' Alò's animated cartoon Momo alla conquista del tempo.
In 2006, Uzeda came back with a new album, Stella.
