BIOGRAPHY
Pivirama was founded in 2000 by Raffaella, songwriter, guitarist and lead singer. The band has been appreciated for their particular mix of rock, pop and psicadalia, for their powerful music with dreamy and intense vocals. Their music could be simply pop, but the melodies of an acoustic violin mixed up with electric guitars and an unusual female voice, make the difference!
In 2005 the band produced by itself the debut album COSA SEMBRA (english: What does it seem). 9 songs, Italian and English lyrics, which obtained very good reviews and has been considered one of the best Italian independent productions in the past few years.
"SE", last song of COSA SEMBRA has been chosen between thousands and makes part of the compilation 2rock issued by Radio1rai (first Italian radio). The band also produced by itself its first video for the song Lost.
The songs from Pivirama debut album got radio airplay and has been appreciated world wide, from USA to Germany, Australia, France, Netherlands, thanx to canadian agency Radio Directx which has become very fond of Pivirama music.
After tours and contests, after being invited to perform on important stages (such as Jack Daniel's Tour live on Rock tv, World fest on the beach, live on TGS, i Tim Tour, on Stream tv, Ruffano Trend and Blues Fest, on Radio1RAI, and many others) the band is now looking for a label producing the second album which the band is at the moment working on with Mario Bajardi, BJM, violinist and teacher of electronic Music. Songs which have to some extent been influenced by artists such as Portishead, Pj harvey, Bjork, Blondered head. One song from the next album IN MY MIND by BJM Mario Bajardi is ready to be listened.

Dissonanze riuscite, una voce sospesa, verve quasi sperimentale: tra gli emergenti più interessanti di questi ultimi anni.
MUSICALNEWS.COM/2005:
Il disco d´esordio di questa indi-pop-rock band siciliana che ama essere indefinibile, é da considerarsi una di quelle autoproduzioni riuscite grazie al sound energico e compatto, all´affiatamento dei 4, ed al forte impatto delle canzoni. La voce femminile, che spicca fra le chitarre distorte, gioca un ruolo importante e dá un certo tocco esotico al disco: controcanti, sussurri rarefatti e linee di voce "insolite" talvolta quanto quelle dei Marlene Kuntz ('Se').
IDBOX.IT / 2004:
'Date modo al violino e alla voce di Raffaella di entrarvi dentro e vi accorgerete di una band davvero valida e con ottimi spunti. Un album sopra la media delle autoproduzioni; contiene vere perle indie'
KRONIC.IT / 2004:
'Bel sound, moderno ed acido al punto giusto che consente ai Pivirama di muoversi molto bene fra pop e noise dosando saggiamente melodia, distorsioni ed aperture psichedeliche.
