Miami Airport

Track taken from the upcoming album "A Nut For a Jar of Tuna", composed and arranged by Octopuss. Recorded at Shangri-la Studios, Malibu - CA, by Beej Chaney (The Suburbs) and Eric Lynn. Produced and mixed by Gary Miller and Octopuss. The classic powerfull trio line-up of guitar-bass-drums produces a style that sits between Primus and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, while at the same time pulling off a balance of sonic voids and rhythm explosions. There is an energetic core of funk which is assimilated and revisited to become a fascinating hybrid which blends the rage of cross-over with the "psychedelic" intuitions of 70's rock. Tight beat, grounded slap-bass lines, powerful guitar riffs and bold "1-line-only" lyrics, featuring a brilliant guest: Enrico Gabrielli (Mike Patton, Calibro 35, Afterhours...) on keybords and brass overdubbs. An injection of volume and groove hits the listener in a unique and unusual fashion. Get ready for a high voltage music party!

Even though busy playing in other top bands of the Italian scene, they kept on jamming together almost every moment dreaming of founding one day an awesome band called Octopuss and playing rock 'n' roll all over the world. So in December of 2006, they found the right drummer and the band was officially born. What makes your music different? 'Wow! The Italian Chili Peppers! Octopuss is a power trio of mind-blowing impact. Everybody can like them: black, white, teenager, and also my mother!. Everybody agrees in front of the Octopuss' groove: they are unique!' - Kathleen Wirt Convince me to see your next show: You can't miss our show because we are cool and sexy, we'll make you sing and dance, we'll kick your ass and...join our party, you'll hook up for sure! 'It feels like a band of 20, but it's just 3 guys on stage! - MOJO Why is it important for you to connect with music fans and what do you have to offer them as artists? It's the fans who make us a super band: we write the songs, we rehearse, we spend time in the studio to get the songs recorded perfectly, we shoot some cool pics and music videos... but the fun comes when we can enjoy them with our fans during our shows. We're the engine, but fans are the fuel.
