Artist History VuLvABoYs are one of the most eclectic Italian Electronic Bands. Based in Imola, Italy, they have started producing Acid House Music for the most important and famous discoteques in Italy. They collaborated (as 'VBoys') between 1994 and 1997 with famous European artists such as Lucio De Paolis, Paolo Ballessi, Gerard Berhardt, Paul DeVriez and with Internationally knewn DJs like Adamantino, Luca Macchina, Roberto DeCrescenzo and Harvey Thompson. In the meantime they produced a number of their own remixes with the famous label Re-Chords, gaining international success with 'Fave di Fucka', 'Gimme more sex' and finally, a series of complete albums and EP’s, from the discussed 'Troppi Stupri Sotto Casa Mia' (1995) to the last 'Dance in a Rape Vision', that won the prestigious Sorrisi & Musica National Award as "Best 2001 Electronic Album". Their original style blends together a number of influences, from pop to jazz, united to their never ending research of new forms of creation. VuLvABoYs do not use other artists' samples, they create samples and loops using a number of different instruments and voices, often collected in the street, and lately they have added some 'political' content to their musical journey, above all after being among the promoters of the Genua Social Forum during the Summer of 2000, when they wrote the intense hymn 'No Global - Genua 2001' which reached #1 in the Italian Dance Charts. VuLvABoYs are currently recording their new album with their own label (Aqua Vulva) with artists like Frankie Hi-Fi, Joe DeMinico and the vocalist Petunia. The album, produced by Claudio Ciccetti and Enzo Prandstraller, will be a step further for VuLvABoYs, and a great surprise for their fans. In the pipeline, also new remixes of their hymn (formerly B-Side of the single 'Fatti i cazzi tuoi') 'Viva L'Italia'. VuLvABoYs are not just famous for their sound, they are the most outrageous, insulting, irriverent artists in the Medio-Eval Italian Star System. They have created scandals exhibiting completely naked at Sanremo Dance 1997, gigging in Milan (Piazza Del Duomo) at 4 o’clock in the morning, and joining many anarchic movements 'against the system'. Addicted to every kind of form of protest, VuLvABoYs have chosen not to please anyone, but their millions of fans in Europe love their style, so angry, rough and unique.

Group Members VuLvABoYs are: Xavier Garcia: dj, guitarist, noise producer, actor. He’s the sound-hunter, he collected in a few years more than a million different sounds of any kind. As an actor, he’s getting much famous as 'Pietro' in the fiction 'Un commissario tra noi'. As a solo musician, he toured with artists like Franco Colombo and Vik. He also co-produced a hip hop album by the french artist Denis DeLucien. Marco Palizzi: dj, bassist, computer wizard. He’s the mind behind the rough sound. His favorite sentence is 'more noise, more love in our discoteques'. Politically active in the anarchical area, he got international fame for his D’n’B version of the 'Internazionale', that reached the Dance Top 10 in 1999 in many European countries, such as Denmark and Sweden. Marco’s most important collaboration include 6 to 7, Tom Fostex, Max Pazzaglini and the rock opera 'Sconvolgente' by Marcello Dell’Urti, for whom he composed the musical score. Besides working for VuLvABoYs new projects, Marco is producing a solo album whose name (in his typical insulting style) will probably be 'Caciocappella'. Enrico La Forgia: producer. He has worked since the mid '80s with artists like Riccardo Del Foglio, Marco Maselli and Nina Forster, who won the Euro Pop Festival in Berlin, 1987 with the song 'Djerba’s Grass', written by Enrico with Tunisian star Ali Zenaidi. During the ‘90s Enrico produced a number of Dance acts like 'Summer is love' by Franka, 'What is magic' by Ale & Elo, 'Du-Di-Da-Do' by Baseball Sisters (a world hit in the summer of 1993), and lately all the most recent albums of Max Tessari, including a song awarded during 1999 San Remo Festival, 'Aria di botte'. Enrico is now also producing a collection of Russian Dance Hits for the American market, called Spassiba, together with other producers like Sister of Jamotha, Dan O’Sullivan and Caprice DesDieux. He's also going to produce many Russian artists like Natasha Voroninova, Alex N and a young 16 years old 'lolita-like' Dance singer called Demetra.

Albums Too Many To List

Press Reviews Daniele Luzzatto Fegiz: Instancabili nel ricercare il suono grezzo, cattivo, nauseante, i Vulvaboys sono dei geni del surreale: da qualunque suono essi sono in grado di trarre energia per il loro messaggio universale di una musica che vada al di la' delle barriere, delle frontiere e delle razze. Geniali!
