GIG AT ALTROQUANDO

City Final ritornano il 30 Aprile (il concerto è stato rinviato rispetto alla data originaria, Venerdì 12 Marzo) alla libreria/birreria Altroquando/Anderquando con un set acustico speciale e rigorosamente gratuito. All’anticipazione di alcuni brani dell’album in via di completamento (la band è impegnata senza sosta anche in studio) faranno seguito pezzi più datati e altre sorprese. A tre mesi di distanza dall’ultimo in-store, la band smette la veste più elettrica e si presenta per la prima volta con un set multi-strumentale per un viaggio intimo in territori cinematici, folk e country.

English version:
City Final come back on 30 April (the gig has been postponed from Friday 12 March) at the ever-welcoming Altroquando/Anderquando bookstore/beer-bar with a very special free-entry acoustic set. The band – currently in studio completing the new album – will perform new material, as well as old and unexpected tunes. Three months after their last in-store gig, the band proffers a multi-instrumental set, conceived as an intimate journey through cinematic, folk and country music.

We would like to thank all the nice folks that showed up at Sinister Noise last night. Please, make sure to check out The Cesarians while they're still on tour – wicked band and lovely people. Some shots taken by Giulia Dnt are now up in the Photos section.
See you on 30 April at Altroquando!

SHOWS UPDATE

Hello folks,
Even though our gig at Altroquando has been postponed, it seems that we now have an interesting string of gigs coming up in April. We will be playing an electric set with The Cesarians (London, UK) at Sinister Noise Club (Roma) on 5 April; then, we will make up for the cancelled show at Altroquando on 30 April, with a truly special acoustic set.
Springtime is at the doors and music is in the air.
See you there,
A.

UPCOMING GIGS & STORE UPDATE

Dear folks,

It is a great pleasure to announce that our friends at Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fa' have been recently rated the best beer-bar in the world for the year 2010 (see RateBeer for reference). The guys are going to celebrate this special event with a party at Circolo degli Artisti (Roma) on 1 March – here we'll perform a live set along with some other bands yet to be announced. Tickets will be exclusively sold in advance (which means no tickets will be available at the doors), and can be purchased directly from the pub.
In addition, we'll be performing a very special free-entry acoustic set on 12 March at the ever welcoming Altroquando bookstore. Have a look at the Shows page for further information.
Brand new shirts are now available from our Store – note that we will also offer a shirt + CD/EP combo for a very special price! Just get in touch for details.
Cheers,
A.

BIG CHANGE, LITTLE CHANGE
Welcome. Again, I shall say.
After almost 4 years and many different incarnations, the band has completed its transition to City Final.
The creature has undergone a minor face-lift, and the new name is perhaps the most tangible proof. Curzio had become increasingly busy with work, and couldn't be a full-time member of the band anymore. However, his contribution has been essential for the completion of the new album and, as part of our family, we are confident our paths will be crossing again.
Nonetheless, just a few changes took place for you users of the worldwide web. The website has slightly changed in look, yet the structure and contents remain pretty much the same.
We have two shows coming up: we'll be performing very special sets @ Altroquando bookstore in Roma on 22 January, and @ Valtorto in Ravenna on 24 February. Further details will follow.


From now on, please use cityfinal@gmail.com for contacts and update your bookmarks as follows:

Note that there are still a few copies of the "Research EP" (released in Summer 2008 under the name Passione Nera) available in store for just €5.00.


Digipak CD-single.


Limited edition 7" vinyl.

That's all folks!
Cheers,
A.
