Jennifer Gentle

Jennifer Gentle comes from Padova, a foggy city in Northern Italy, not so far from Venice. She was born in early 2000 and her short life has been both quiet and tumultuous, at the same time. Actually, Jennifer Gentle is not a girl, but a band formed by two guys: Marco Fasolo, 23, who sings and plays guitar, and Alessio Gastaldello, 30, thinking drummer.

Marco and Alessio played all the instruments and sang all the vocals. As usual, they tried new instruments and new solutions: toy glockenspiel, bowed guitars, old Bontempi air organs, plastic flutes, chains and clocks pop up here and there (and a deflating helium balloon makes for a good solo in “I do dream you!”).

When a band quotes Syd Barrett, Joe Meek and 13th Floor Elevators amongst their influences, you have to investigate. Well, HAVEN'T you?!?!
