DRIVEN BY THE VOODOO POWER...

Chelsea has a New Group: The iTALLION STALLIONS
and 2010 will bring in the sounds and visions of this new band.
Born out of a studio in Chaisso, Suisse, on the border of Italy.
4 musicians (3 Italian and 1 American) creating a Global conference of Rock, Ballad and Blues.
Known as the iTALLION STALLIONS, these 4 Horsemen take their name from the moniker of Rocco Siffredi... a big porn star in Italy.
They play a tough form of music that sounds like it's a matter of Life and Death, taking its signals from "sweat house" blues clubs and performances.

Try to imagine, Thin Lizzy mixed with the Stones you will get some kind of idea just how this band sounds.
With a line-up of drums, a real (and heavy) Hammond organ, a bassist that plays guitar and a guitarist that switches to bass and all creating their own personal elements inside this rare "RunAway Train" of "hard and beautiful" music.
Keef Richard's Expensive Winos is another reference, that comes to mind.

CHELSEA has just re-discovered the bass and the satisfying task of playing and singing lead. Something that he'd abandon a while back, in favour of an acoustic guitar and romantic ballads. But now he wants to show where he's come from. Everyone that hears him sing rock says that its suits his voice and persona, to do so. So taking some clues (about performance and "working a crowd") that he's picked up from his touring with The IMPERIAL CROWDS, Chelsea's embracing this Rock urgency with both arms open wide!!!

The STALLIONS have just emerged from a studio in London. They flew there to record under real "Rock" conditions, that are truly un-available in a Swiss, Italian or French setting. The basic tracks are completed, which include some of Chelsea's most Rock Steady tunes. Tunes that have seen the light of day on stage but have never been preserved in any form of duplication, until now. After the addition of some tasteful overdubs, the band will be ready to display these rock "gems" on the stages of some festival dates, that are being lined up to coincide with the release of the CD. Offers are coming in from Italy, first, which is understandable. Italians are eager to see their countrymen Rock out, with this new unit.

Song titles include: RUNAWAY TRAIN, SET THIS PLACE ON FIRE, DRIVEN BY THE VOODOO POWER, TIRED OF MESSING AROUND, SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN, CANDY, KINGDOM COME, NO SUNDAY LOVER, GET OUTTA NEW ORLEANS, CATFISH BONES, RIDE THAT MONKEY, ROCK n ROLL CALLED THE POLICE and many more!

So keep an eye out for the new CD by Chelsea and the iTALIAN STALLIONS. People, that had heard the demo of the songs (to be recorded) were reaching in their pockets offering to buy that "Demo CD," right then and there! So after the overdubs, design and packaging, it should be ready to hit the streets galloping at full speed. A stampede, so to speak!

It sounds tough!
