ROCKNATION ISSUE 22
DRUNKEN ROLLERS
Interview by Tom Mathers
Hello Drunken Rollers and welcome to Rocknation. Congrats to your band on having
signed to USA label Perris Records. Your CD will be titled “Boogie Generation” How
excited are you to see the fan response to the new CD?
We’re pretty much excited, it’s our first album and we can’t wait to play some new songs in
our setlist!
If you had to tell someone what your band sounded like, what bands would you
mention?
Hmmm.... I would say a mix of Thin
Lizzy, Motorhead, ZZ Top and Alice in
Chains.
What bands have you played with?
We have played a lot of gigs with local
Italian bands like Overload, Devil’s
Mojito, Tony Romano Psycho
Explosion, Ebano, 81db,
Random’n’Roll and many more.
Your band is from Florence, Italy what is the scene like there.
Pretty bad situation for Rock’n’Roll/Metal
maniacs, the majority of Italians like other types of music..
definitely not Rock. It’s better in the center/northern side of
Italy, But we have a decent underground scene, with a lot of kick ass
bands. Clubs are not many, but at least we have some!
What is some of the music you listen to now?
We’re pretty much open minded. I (Lorenzo) recently bought some 70’s
Italian progressive rock albums: Area - “Arbeit macht frei” and Le Orme - “Collage”. Good stuff. But now I actually listen to Ted
Nugent!
What plans do you have for
2016?
Personally we hope to play as
many live shows as we can!
We want to improve ourselves
individually as musicians and of
course as a band, and we hope
we’ll get an opportunity touring
the USA too!
Thank you for taking time for
this interview and last words to
the fans?
To all our fans out there we say:
thank you guys for the support,
we love you!!! Hope we see you
soon and keep on
rocking!!
