: NEW SONGS ONLINE NOW! :
Ladies and gentlemen,
we got through -- the last two long-awaited and highly-anticipated songs ("Sinking" and "North on Canvas" - along with "Strength in a Smile" part of the "Research EP") are now up on MySpace! The whole process (which implied a colossal mixing and mastering work) took indeed way longer than any pesimistic prediction, but I'm glad to make this sounds available in the end: we're all still excited like the first time we entered the studio recording the freshly re-arranged versions of the songs, so bad luck didn't really affect our mood. A huge thank you goes out to our older brothers PJ and Simone of Spiritual Front who personally contributed to the tracks: the first one with his wise technical support and additional arrangements; the second by lending vocals for "Sinking". I owe these two individuals a lot.
Last but not least, I couldn't be more excited saying that we're already recording demos for the upcoming full-length record with our old-time partner-in-crime Curzio, as we're entering the studio next months...
Further details will be available soon. Go have a listen now!
Enjoy,
-A.

: HAPPY NEW YEAR :
Hello dear folks,
chances for a late December previews streaming are definitely gone.
"North on Canvas" will be up on MySpace early January, followed by "Sinking" a week later.
Have a safe beginning of 2008!
Cheers,
-A.

September 7th 2007
: "STRENGTH IN A SMILE" ONLINE NOW :
A rough mix of "Strength in a Smile", first preview song in order, is now up available on MySpace. Me and PJ will get back to work in the very next days, and a brandly new mixed and mastered version of the song will be up soon.
More preview stuff coming up next weeks.
Enjoy,
-A.

September 4th 2007
: FIRST PREVIEW SONG :
Just got back from the studio: the mixing for "Strength in a Smile", first PN™ preview song, is almost completed. One more meeting (to put final touches here and there) with PJ is planned in a couple of days: this means the song will be finally up this weekend.
Stay tuned,
-A.

: DELAYS DELAYS DELAYS :
Due to different reasons, Luca Bellanova is no longer part of the band.
Our friend Piergiorgio "PJ" Ambrosi (Spiritual Front) is now coming in to help us (the mixing was slowly coming to a dead end) and taking care of sounds' duties in this final part of the process. Even though he's quite a busy man, I know we're in safe hands: there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Always,
-A.

: WANNA BE THE FIRST TO KNOW? :
As previously announced on MySpace, by completing vocals yesterday afternoon, recordings for PN™ preview material are now finished.
Now, if you want to be the first one to know about details for sounds' release, become our friend on
MySpace (I'll be posting more bullettins on the way), or sign up to our newsletter service right here on our website.
Cheers

: PREVIEW STUFF :
So we've been recording for quite a while now (if we don't mention the time spent pre-producing stuff), and we just came back from the studio: drums, acoustic guitars, electric guitars and lap-steel, piano, keyboards and strings for the promised songs ("Strength in a Smile", "North on Canvas" and "Sinking") are now finished.
We're just missing stand-up bass parts; then I'll be entering the studio to record vocals early next week.
The mixing session shouldn't take long, so consider our work (finally) almost completed.
Thanks again to everyone who's been showing unconditional interest to our upcoming sounds.

Always,
-A.

: LINE-UP CHANGES AND RECORDING UPDATE :
Lasses and lads -
I'm sorry if it took so long for this new update, but things here at PN™ headquarters have been quite hectic...
First of all, due to Curzio's moving to London, the line-up has been both changing and expanding: Luca Bellanova and Tommaso Di Giulio joined the band to take care of piano and electric guitar duties, and long-time friend Luca Belardi will be the man sitting behind the drum-kit.
Things are still great with the dirty ol' Curzio and we're mostly like going to have more collaborations on the way for the new material yet to be recorded; on the other hand, I felt like some songs needed to be re-arranged and re-recorded with the new line-up, so we're going to enter the studio soon for another recording session (besides, we'll be having some guests throughout it).
It seems like it's gonna be some more waiting for you nice folks, but it's definetely our aim to have stuff ready to go in a reasonable amount of time.
Cheers,
-A.

Passione Nera™ has landed on the net for the second time (after a year of presence on the worldwide web with a MySpace profile) with its own official home page: so update your bookmarks now and start spreading the word about it. Some sections are still under construction, but you'll be able to get access to the whole website very soon. Big sloppy kisses to Mauro for his supervision on the creating process!

Cheers and happy new year,
