Italia 90 are back. Once a quartet, now a trio, the band are returning to the live scene with an altered line up and a fresh setlist.
Their new songs, building on the success of debut album, Living Human Treasure (released in January 2023), push the group into less familiar territories – at some points more melodic and at others much darker. It’s all underpinned by the familiar tightness and precision, honed over decades of friendship, that provide the foundations for Italia 90’s sound.
The band have toured extensively across the UK and Europe, playing highly-acclaimed sets at festivals such as Great Escape (UK), MIL, Milhões de Festa (both Portugal), LE Guess Who, Left of the Dial (both Netherlands) and Fuzz Fest (Czechia). They have received critical praise from numerous publications, including DIY Magazine, The Quietus, The Guardian and So Young (UK), Rumore and L’Espresso (Italy), Mowno and Sound of Violence (France) and Goûte Mes Disques (Belgium).
After a year away from the scene – a time for reflection and procreation – the band are primed to re-emerge, hungrier and sharper than ever.
