Aerosol is an Italian band formed in the early '80s in Genoa. The two founders Franco Debernardi (keyboards, vocals) and Tony Tedde (bass), who had experiences with Misterius Melody and ICM, gave life to this project to connect the Progressive music with the Italian song.
The first line-up included in addition to the founders, Maurizio Stagnitto (guitarist) and Rocco Cirigliano (drummer), later replaced by Alfredo Vandresi. In 1981 Aerosol recorded the songs "Solo una goccia nel mare" and "Fuochi d'inverno". After some recordings Maurizio Stagnitto left the group, and the group remained a trio. The band after the early influences of the English progressive turned to the new wave sounds. This is demonstrated by the new songs "Cina" and "Disco Yoga", in a 7-inch 45 rpm very appreciated, co-produced by Sotter Records . For studio recordings they were helped by the guitarists Claudio Vallegra (ex Misterius Melody), Massimo Gori (Latte e Miele) and Claudio Capurro on Sax. Aerosol's carreer started in 1982, when vinyl was broadcasted by several independent radio stations in Genoa. The trio made a lot of success with various interviews and even managed to have some space on Rai Radio 2 thanks to the famous journalist DJ Luca De Gennaro. The band took part in various festivals including the Rock Italian Festival at the Teatro Verdi in Genova Sestri Ponente and that of Radio Monte Carlo taking place at the Palasport in Genoa. Then Ugo Bigozzi's guitar added more Brit New Wave sound. The group continued his live performances, like those at the Araldo Theatre, in Genova Sturla, with the special guest Claudio Capurro and in Ronco Scrivia .
In that period we can remember "Scene Dal Mio Ultimo Film" and "Triangolo Delle Bermuda" also recorded at Sotter Studio Records with Ugo Bigozzi.
After a period of crisis and absence of inspiration they decided to change their musical kind into Italian song by adding the group the good singer Angela Macheda.
Aerosol recorded with her at the Gulliver Studio in Genoa two new tracks, "Io vivrò" e "Donne". This songs in live exhibitions showed the wonderful voice of Angela and the modern and dry sound of the band. Then we can talk about 1984. After several guest appearances, the group tried to participate to the music festival San Remo Giovani, but with no success.
After a few months the band made a changement because Franco Debernardi and Angela Macheda left the group.
The survivors tried a new way of sound with the New Wave with Bartenor Edo (ex Scortilla on vocals) and Fabio Giorgi (keyboards, accordion) who made some good recording, but without achieving desired results.
After a short time Ugo Bigozzi tragically died and this story definitely marked in the beginning of 1985, the end of Aerosol.
