Gli Uragani (The Hurricanes)

Gli Uragani (the hurricanes) were a group formed in Mestre (Venezia) in 1963, active since 1967. During the 1965 they were selected by the Piper Club of Rome, the famous dance hall, to perform their concerts. They gathered a good success by the young people frequenting the club and so they had the opportunity to sign a contract with the Carisch label (one of the most active at that time in Italy, the label of the Beatles in Italy). With the Carisch label they published four 45rpm singles during the two years period 1966-'67, mostly excellent covers from Who, Animals, Cuby & The Blizzards. Their sound was very well focused and their playing technique very professional, in comparison with many others groups of that time, and they let so a good memory among beat era fans.
