ELECTRIC SWAN is a solo project from WICKED MINDS guitarist and founding member,LUCIO CALEGARI (1964). On the road from 1987, starting as a thrash group and evolving in a ’70 power trio, Wicked Minds in 2000 meet the organist Paolo “Apollo” Negri and the music became more progressive. In 2004 the singer J.C Cinel joins the band that sign a deal with Black Widow Records for “From the purple skies” (cd/2lp) and 2006 “Witchflower” (cd-dvd/2lp). In 2007 “Live at Burg Herzbergh Festival” (cd/2lp for Inakustik Records, Germany) and a free jam project called “Orange Shading Starlight” (Lp only for W Records). During the years WICKED MINDS play with UFO, Uli Jon Roth,Monster Magnet, Siena Root, Colour Haze, Osanna, Delirium and many more.
ELECTRIC SWAN was recorded in January/May 2008 at Mofo Studio (Piacenza-Italy) by my old friend MARCO GANDOLFI that produces the work for BADCHILI Records, a young indie label at its third release, distribuited worldwide from Black Widow Records. It’s a collection of new songs (some instrumental), 2 ten years-old WICKED MINDS tracks never recorded before, and 3 covers:Tommy Bolin’s “Teaser”, Ruth Copeland’s “Your love been so good to me” and Metallica’s
