Lost Waves by The Bradipos IV
BRIEF BIO BRADIPOS IV
After more than twenty years of activity The Bradipos IV are considered among the best known international performers of surf and sixties - inspired music. Since 1996, founding year of the band, they have released three albums of original songs ( INSTROMANIA and SURF SESSION on Teen Sound Label and Om Om Music), and the upcoming new release (June 2018) "LOST WAVES" by prolific Italian independent label AREA PIRATA .
They made also an album (Live at KFJC on FreakHouse Record) recorded live at RADIO KFJC while touring SoCal in 2011.
In 2016, before touring California for the 2 nd time, The Bradipos IV released a new vinyl called "The Parthenophonic Sound of Bradipos Four", covering traditional Neapolitan songs in surf rock key. The Bradipos IV have collaborated with various comps produced by Italian and International record labels, receiving excellent reviews. They shared the stage with the best vintage and modern surf bands (Satan's Pilgrims, Boss Martians, John Blair, Dave Allan, to name a few).
In the last 20 years they played all over Europe and USA hitting the stage of the mayor Festival focused on Surf and Instrumental music (SurfinGuitar 101, Surfer Joe Summer Festival, Tiki Oasis and more)
A live performance is the best way of appreciating the band's music. During live shows they play original tune and obscure sixties band's covers. Reverb Bless You!!!
They are presently collaborating with a very talented singer named Annette. The shows with Annette are divided in two acts, one instrumental surf and another vocal set inspired to primitive soul and wild rock and roll.
LOST WAVES
After two years from their last EP entitled "The Partenophonic Sound Of The Bradipos Four", the surf combo has gone back to the studio, influenced from their Californian tour. More than the Ocean the inspiration came from the desert met to reach Las Vegas and Joshua Tree.
An instro album more than a surf one, even if their opening track is a cover originally written by Ray Hunt and played for the first time in 1961 from the Surfmen. Two more cover, 'A Heartful Of Nothing' written by Chris Barfield and 'Siboney' written by Ernesto Lecuona, among nine new and original songs.
Not so close to the classical surf, rather with a personal touch, that has been a trademark for this Italian band from the beginning.
An album dominated by the minor tones and so a little bit melancholic, as the artwork remind us, and always well-planted feed on the Mediterranean origins.
