This will be the new resource for all the upcoming news about THE WATCH

THE WATCH line up:



It's our great pleasure to welcome Mr Guglielmo Mariotti to The Watch family: from Rome, he played in several progressive acts and soon his talent fits in perfectly The Watch new show and own music. The Watch is a family and Gugli's bass sound, guitars and bass pedals are now a part of our sound too.

Moreover, we'll have Mr Valerio De Vittorio behind the Hammond on several shows, who will take it in turns with Fabio on keyboards.
Vale has already carried on the keys job on some early 2008 shows, really doing a huge work.

The polish experience has been very nice, thanks to all who showed up!

We are really looking forward to be over there again... many thanks to all polish supporters!

Primo show del tour a Milano

00:19 Edit This
Ciao a tutti,
la data definitiva del concerto a Milano (Spazio Aurora - Rozzano, non lontano dal Forum di Assago) sarà unica:

SPAZIO AURORA
via Cavour, 4 - Rozzano - mappa
giovedì 4 dicembre - ore 21
www.spazioaurora.net
prezzo - 12€
per l'acquisto in prevendita del biglietto senza sovrapprezzo scrivere a: prevendita@thewatch.it

Lo show sarà unico! I The Watch vi riporteranno nelle atmosfere genesisiane degli inizi del 1972, con la consueta energia che caratterizza i loro show e con hammond e mellotron sul palco. Sarà la prima data di un lungo tour che sta già facendo registrare dei sold out in alcune venues.

New live album on the way...

23:57 Edit This
THE WATCH will release a live album, so here it comes our first live album !! It will be released in a few weeks all over the world, as at TW Studio both Simones are working on the mixing right now. It will be available in advance at the november gigs.

Here it is the song list:
1. Sound of Sirence ...big live impact on this number
2. Shining bald Heads ...a classic from the band, with a wonderful final solo from Giorgio Gabriel
3. Berlin, 1936 ...this song gains so much power on live, one of the best band's live numbers indeed
4. The Fisherman ...one of the first classics, signed by Simone Rossetti. A great live new version
5. Goddess ...to tell it in the same words of a friend of us from London: no, it's not Deep Purple on it, it's The Watch.. hehe..
6. Twilight Alehouse/Another life ...a super meadley between an old Genesis single from 1972 and The Watch Another life
7. DNAlien ...it's been the closing song on some of 2008 gigs, ...mellotron and hammond scream on it
8. Riding the Elephant ..a live version of one the beloved band's ballads, with a new final

Enjoy!
The Watch Staff

Rollin' again.

23:49 Edit This
After a hot summer made of sea air, water, seagulls, sun, sand... and music, The Watch are rollin' again. This is a very busy period for the band hence will follow some news sections in the next days.

There are two big main news regarding concerts and new studio music. Infact there are three almost ready tracks, brand new songs that will be part of the new album. The guys are currently working on arrangements and one of them, for the half of it, will be played in the new show !!

The new show will be called "The Watch plays Nursery Cryme show... the show that Genesis preformed in Italy in 1972.. plus extras and bonus from early Foxtrot era...". There will be also some original bonus of course. !!!

This is the concert list, that is still growing up, so keep an eye on it and see if the band will come to your area. Some more news will follow soon and the gig list will be updated costantly, so please stay tuned. We are all looking forward to performing the new show and sharing it with you.

Thanks!
Cheers!
