Guitarists Moreno MENCARINI, Fabrizio BRILLI and bassist Francesco ROSSI began playing together in 2004 in the Chianciano Terme comune of Siena, Tuscany. The three played blues primarily and cut their teeth on the local blues clubs where they focused on improvisation. Eventually they met drummer Francesco BIAGIANTI and flautist Roberto CHECHI, and the five began working hard to gel a sound not unlike early JETHRO TULL. ZUNDAPP, however, benefit from that cornerstone prog giant by focusing on the rougher heavy blues while still incorporating strong prog elements that TULL only began dabbling in on their second album. By the time they'd recorded their first demo CD 'Zundapp'(a name taken from the famous German brand of motorcycle), a tight progressive blues rock band with classical and folk flavors had emerged.
Highly recommended to lovers of vintage-style heavy prog, Zundapp are one of the most promising of the non-symphonic Italian prog bands and offer a real, honest heavy progressive blues rock. (progarchives)
