Formed in Canvey Island, Essex, in the early ’70s, Dr. Feelgood remains one of the most powerful and exciting live rhythm and blues bands in the world. Their raw, high-energy style brought them instant success with Stupidity, a live album that shot straight to No.1 in the UK charts. They achieved international recognition with iconic tracks such as Back in the Night, Milk and Alcohol, Down at the Doctors, Going Back Home, and See You Later Alligator, which earned them their first gold record. The last album to feature Lee Brilleaux, Down at the Doctors, was recorded live at the band’s own venue in Canvey Island, just two months before his passing. The current lineup features Kevin Morris on drums (since 1983), Phil Mitchell on bass (since 1987), the return of legendary guitarist Gordon Russell, and Robert Kane (formerly of The Animals) on vocals since 1999. In 2011, they released a digitally remastered edition of Chessmasters (originally 2000), a tribute to the iconic Chess Records label and the first album with Kane on vocals. November 2022 saw the release of Damn Right!, a collection of brand-new original tracks, praised by fans and critics alike. In January 2024, they released Live in Caen, recorded in France, reaffirming the band’s reputation as a world-class live act. Dr. Feelgood continues to tour relentlessly, delivering explosive shows across the globe!

The Hus-Band was founded in 2023 in Lugano from an idea by Matteo Bertini. Alongside him, once again, is guitarist Mattia Mantello. The two, longtime bromance partners on the most prestigious local stages, enlist the rhythm section of brothers Federico and Riccardo Sicilia from Val di Blenio. Together, the four musicians bring to life a sincere and straightforward project, a light-hearted and fun classic rock, with no pretensions of measuring up to big names or movements. Mad Mantello's guitar, historically infused with solid blues tones, and Sicilia's genetically groovy patterns are complemented by Matt Bertini's riffs and signature raspy vocals. No flashy or schizophrenic ambitions – just the self-awareness of being “only” neighborhood rockstars. Their debut single, featuring the tracks “Wanderer” and “L.S.D.”, offers a first taste of their music: dynamic yet catchy, psychedelic yet edgy, mature yet youthful. More singles followed, including the semi-ballad “You Won't Be the First,” whose video clip was released shortly thereafter. The stage debut took place at the Rotonda in Locarno on August 1, 2023 as the opening act for the Blues Brothers.. Concluding 2023 was “A Hundred Times,” a mature classic rock track enriched by a great sax solo by Mirko Roccato. Their album Cheap Rock was released on April 6, 2024. A true concept album that, like in the old days, unveils its full potential when listened to in its entirety, no track is less important or predictable, and the sounds...are so many.
