Salamanders live at Bar Onesti

The Salamanders were once more treading the boards (last gig is here) but this time they were playing decidedly at home on the Piste Onesti in Barga Giardino. The last time they played at the  Grindhouse in Castelnuovo, a work inflicted injury to the hand of their drummer Diego Bacci meant that the boys were playing their numbers at a slightly slower pace than normal. This time it looks as though the guitarist, Marco Lugliani was suffering from an injury to his hand  but none of which seemed to bother Marco or their fans who were in Barga Giardino to support their favourite Barga band.

Great mix of good old rock and roll, ska, reggae and even a bit of funk (thanks to the bass slapping Giuseppe Jos Venturi pushing the band along.)

The Salamanders are; Noah Heraclitus Tortelli: Voice, Guitar, Harmonica | Marco Lugliani: Lead Guitar | Giuseppe Jos Venturi: Bass Guitar | Diego Bacci: Drum & Percussion
