Biography

The band published its own debut in 1997, the EP Pictures ((Toast)).

Next year the band made a choice to remain independent about sounds and to maintain the lyrics in English and so they choose the self-production.[1]

With the help of sound technician Alessandro Castriota they published the first album A better place in 1998, that was well received on Italian music magazines and fanzines.[2]

The next albums Ruby Shade(2000), Crime Stories(2002) (concept album about crime which was selected among the best 15 Italian albums of the year by the notable music magazine Il Mucchio Selvaggio), Moving (2004) (concept about travel with the personal Bob Dylan's cover of "One more cup of coffee") and Freak Show (2007) made the group a little legend in Italian musical underground. In 2008 the drummer, Francesco Zanotti, left and was replaced later by Alan Giannini.

In the 2009 the band published the live DVD "Just Like Bob Dylan's Blues" recorded at Brabante theatre in Urbania nel 2003. In summer they played some songs at the presentation of the new Bruce Springsteen's album Working on a Dream on Milan's Rolling Stone stage.[3] In September a new disc: Spirits with 2 personal cover Townes Van Zandt's "Pancho & Lefty" and Dylan's "Man In The Long Black Coat", and 9 original tracks. "La buveuse" is dedicated to the same picture of painter Toulouse Lautrec. The album received very good reviews on the specialized magazines such as the "Buscadero" that elected the disc best Italian album of the year.[4] as well as the roots-rock oriented webzine Rootshighway[5] The national radio RAI-Radio1 made a special about Cheap Wine on Saturday night.[6]

In October 2010 the band released the first live album "Stay Alive!", 2 discs with 21 songs of which two covers.
