HOLLOWBLUE

Hollowblue, originally a solo project by Gianluca Maria Sorace, becomes a band in 2003 when Marco Calderisi aka Killjoy on guitar, Giancarlo Russo on bass and Federico Moi on drums joined him.
On strings they had the support of several people: Chiara Cavalli, Sarah Crespi and Sarah Mayer on violin and Ellie Young on cello. In the summer of 2009 the keyboardist Enrico Filippi permanently joined the band.
Hollowblue have released three albums, each of which has received fantastic reviews and attention from both Italian and international press.
The last two albums received 4 stars in the prestigious British magazine Uncut and Italian Rollingstone and the official David Bowie site dedicated them an entire page of praise, with particular attention to their version of the song "Letter to Hermione" recorded with Luca Faggella for the tribute Repetition*Bowie.
Their collaborations are always of great interest: the American writer Dan Fante, son of John Fante (they wrote a song with and now planning an entire album of music and poetry), the Italian/Finnish Lara Martelli, Anthony Reynolds of the British band Jack, the songwriter Luca Faggella and recently Sukie Smith aka Madam.
In 2009 they founded aCupintheGarden Records which, thanks to the support of the distributor Audioglobe, are going to publish not only Hollowblue albums but also the work of musicians with similar style and attitude.
