SormoRock, an Italian Procol tribute band

18 September 2011


Carlo Ponissi writes to 'Beyond the Pale': 'Our concert went well; we played for about one hour and the public seemed happy. A couple of friends (our usual drummer, Lorenzo, who is now in Spain) and a friend of mine who stays in Rome followed the live streaming and said it worked well, at the peek there were twenty viewers connected, not bad for an experiment. We began with an almost empty house, but people started to come in after the first few songs, by the end it was quite full. The sound wasn't too good at the beginning but got better while we was playing.'
