Hello to all, I apologize in advance if this is not the right place to post this, I've waited more then three weeks since his release day asking myself if it was ok to do a bit of self-promotion here, but given all the good words and reviews I've received so far I decided to do this post. If someone thinks otherwise, just let me know and I'll move it.
STERBUS is a band from Rome, essentially a duo formed by me, Emanuele Sterbini, songwriter, singer, guitar and bass player and Dominique D'Avanzo, singer, flutist, clarinetist and writer of most of the lyrics.
Our main influences are Cardiacs, Xtc, King Crimson, The New Pornographers, Steven Wilson, Blur, Elliott Smith, The Beatles...so we're not strictly a progressive band but we like to think that we try to give power-pop some new twists, trying to working a bit more on chord-changes, harmonies, structures...
We had the greatest honor to have BOB LEITH of Cardiacs on drums, but the album has also contributions from the splendid CHARLIE CAWOOD (Knifeworld), DEBZ JOY and DAVID SHERIDON (The Army of Moths), NICK PROL (Nick Prol and the Proletarians), ADRIAN BECKWITH (Barnslou Trio), NOEL STOREY (The Pocket Gods) plus other guests on trumpet, alto sax, flute, clarinet, marimba, electric piano, celtic harp...
Now stop talking: if someone wants to give a listen and provide some appreciated feedback, here's a link to it:

About the title:
SUMMER is spelled ESTATE in italian, while INVERNO means WINTER.
"REAL ESTATE - CD one - is a joyous rampage through a circus of questionable sanity....a definite rollercoaster ride up towards the Sun.
FAKE INVERNO - CD two - is definitely more autumn..... beautiful golden leaves, cold evenings, reflective, and you wrap the songs around you to keep you warm."
