il sogno del marinaio (with mike watt) 
-Guitarist Stefano Pilia, drummer Andrea Belfi and bassist Watt
-The trio made up of musicians from Italy along with former Minuteman Mike Watt has lined up an extensive tour beginning on the West Coast in September.

Guitarist Stefano Pilia, drummer Andrea Belfi and bassist Watt – aka Il Sogno Del Marinaio – are supporting Canto Secondo, due out Aug. 26 on Watt’s Clenchedwrench imprint.

As the title denotes, the album is the second long player from Il Sogno Del Marinaio, a band name that translates as “The Sailor’s Dream.”  In selecting that particular moniker, Watt said having an Italian name was important because the band represented the first time he had collaborated with musicians from that country.  Add to that the fact that his father was a sailor and you have Il Sogno Del Marinaio.

“My first time playing in Italy was in 1983 and I’ve done lots of gigs since but never like this, collaborating with her native sons,” Watt said.  “I am intrigued by the works of both Stefano and Andrea and am quite interested in sailing their seas of music and how they merge with mine.”

-In the wake of THE REACTION, we formed APOGEE SOUND CLUB, striving for a less "ROCK-N-ROLL", more angular and dissonant (and dissident) sound with little hints of melody and anti-authoritarian lyrics amongst the din. unlike in rock and roll, all of the instruments and vocals are mixed at the same level, no one is the "star"
