Biografia
THE BAND KICKED OFF IN AUGUST 2003 THANKS TO ALEX “THESHAZTA” VECCHIETTI, SINGER, GUITARIST AND PRODUCER IN THE SICILIAN UNDERGROUND SCENE.
INFLUENCES GO FROM CLASSIC HARD ROCK (BLACK SABBATH/AC-DC),TO 90’S GRUNGE AND ALTERNATIVE ROCK (ALICE IN CHAINS/SMASHING PUMPKINS), TO NEW SCHOOL BANDS SUCH AS NICKELBACK, IGNITE, A PERFECT CIRCLE.
THE RESULT IS A FRESH AND POWERFUL “IN YOUR FACE” STYLE HARD ROCK AND A COMBO THAT CAN SHOW ITS DETERMINATION AND ORIGINALITY IN ANY LIVE SITUATION, MAY IT BE “UNPLUGGED” OR AT AN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS PEOPLE.

AND MARKY RAMONE) THE BAND WAS PROMOTED IN ITALY SUPPORTING ARTISTS SUCH AS MEGANOIDI IN 2005, UK SUBS,ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION IN 2007 AND ZERO ASSOLUTO IN 2009. THESHAZTA HIT EVEN LONDON, WHERE THEY PERFORMED IN 2003 AND 2005 IN A VARIETY OF CLUBS AND ACOUSTIC OPEN NIGHTS INCLUDING “THE ELECTRIC BALLROOM” AND THE HISTORICAL “100 CLUB”.
IN 2010, THE BAND RELEASED THEIR FIRST E.P, WHICH, FOR THE FIRST TIME, USED FREE ONLINE DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS SUCH AS JAMENDO.COM TO RECEIVE WIDER ATTENTION AND FEW HUNDRED DOWNLOADS.
