The
band Morose was born in 1998, from the ashes of two bands: Kalte
Sterne (above: D. Saranza, Mauro Costagli and Luca Lazzoni) and Priscilla
(below: La Carogna, Luca Galuppini, Mauro Costagli, Luca Olivieri).
|
|
The
first Morose recording (starring D. Saranza, Mauro Costagli,
La Carogna and Luca Lazzoni as "special guest") consists
of an untitled cassette, released by Mauro's new born record
label, called Ouzel.
|
|
After
releasing the very first tape, they suspend their activity until
Summer 2000: the band records a new track to join the
2nd Anniversary Compilation of Ouzel Records, and releases its
2nd work, called "Lifespace at a Given Moment".
|
|
 |
In 2001 the
band records its new EP, entitled "Best Regards From Hungary"
(picture on the left), released by Ouzel Records, and joins various
compilations released by Dhyana Records (Germany), Bliss
(U.K.), Fighting Godzilla (U.S.A.).

After playing
some gigs around Italy, the band releases a vinyl 7" split
with [Minmae] (from Portland). The work is entitled "Love
is A Swindle", it contains 3 previously unreleased tracks
by Morose, and it is released by Try Not To Look (U.S.A.)

Luca
Lazzoni leaves Morose after their show in Talamona (SO) in Autumn
2001. The new Morose member is Luca Galuppini (ONQ): the
band records a lot of new stuff with him, joins a few compilations
(released by Under My Bed, Bliss, and Dhyana Records),
releases a "Worst Of" on Bliss Aquamarine (cassette
split with Mauro's Colours Seen From Behind) and starts
the recordings of a new album. The first track of the session
is included in the compilation "You Cannot Hold DIY...",
released by Ouzel Records, also starring June of 44, ONQ,
Milaus, Minmae, Klimperei, Lo-Fi Sucks!,
and many others...

In Summer 2002
Mauro starts playing drums with the band Lo-Fi Sucks!, and
Davide records his first solo work with a 4track recorder:
some of the songs contained in that CD will be re-arranged and
included in the new album by Morose.

The new album
"La Mia Ragazza Mi Ha Lasciato" is a co-production
involving Cane Andaluso, Ouzel, Kimera, and Under My Bed, distributed
by Audioglobe, from April 2003. Valerio Sartori
joins the band as trumpet, clarinet and bass player, then Luca
Galuppini leaves the band.
After some
concerts in Italy, the band goes on tour in the U.K. in
Summer 2003, with Hiyori Ando playing bass, keyboards and
percussions.
Federico
Moi joins Morose in September 2003, then the band tours Italy
again (6 out of 11 concerts have been done together with Prague,
from London). Many other concerts follow in early 2004.
The band records
the new album "People Have Ceased To Ask Me About
You" in summer 2004, and then Mauro moves to Japan (Pier
takes his place).
In March 2005,
the new official website www.moroseismoroseismorose.com
is activated. These pages will be kept online as a document of
the period between Summer 1998 and Summer 2004.
