It was born within the Greenfog Recording Studio (founded ten years ago by members of the Genoese alternative rock band Meganoidi) in cooperation with two Ligurian independent labels very careful about the local underground music scene: DreaminGorilla Records, active in the Savona area since 2010 with concerts and record releases, and Taxi Driver Records, born in Genoa in 2009 as a natural extension of Taxi Driver Independent Record Store.
The "Greenfog sessions" come from an idea by Mattia Cominotto: extemporary and unreleased lineups with guitars, bass, drums and more played by members of many bands, with the goal of creating new connections and proudly showing people how cool and tough is the current underground music scene throughout Liguria.
Everything started in late Autumn 2012 during the week when Fabio Cuomo (now also Mope) recorded his great debut full lenght “Dragonarius” for his mighty sluge/black metal project Eremite (the album was then released by Taxi Driver Records during Spring 2013). Fabio ended his recording sessions three days in advance so he started jamming in studio with Mattia, and Stefano Parodi (Vanessa Van Basten, Mope) joined them soon. Then it came Giacomo Boeddu (Isaak) with his powerful voice, giving birth to Territori Del Nord Ovest. Mattia loved the idea so much that he wanted to continue these kind of recording sessions during the following months involving also many other personalities.
The musicians who joined the project “L'Inverno Della Civetta” are members of: Isaak, Meganoidi, Numero 6, Od Fulmine, Kramers, Bosio, Eremite, Mope, Vanessa Van Basten, Gli Altri, The Washing Machine, Giei, Madame Blague, Demetra Sine Die, Lilium, Merckx. Izio Orsini (Jackie O's Farm and La Notte Dei Lunghi Coltelli) is the only guest, from Tuscany.
L'Inverno della Civetta released 28 March, 2014 on Taxi Driver Records / Dreaming Gorilla
