Frigidaire Tango

July 1977: Carlo Casale and Stefano Dal Col begin a musical collaboration and found The Outkids, one of the first Italian Punk Rock combos. After a series of local concerts, the band expands with the arrival of Marco Brenda, keyboardist. Marco gave to the young band a sound more personal that, scrambling their background, shortly becomes one of the most appreciated New Wave bands of the peninsula. With the name of Frigidaire Tango in 1980 the band recorded their first full-length LP 'The Cock', a small masterpiece of Italian music that was inserted in September 2010 among the 100 fundamental least-known Rock LPs by the French magazine "Tsugi". In early '83, with the addition of a second keyboardist, Frigidaire Tango returned to the studio releasing a self-produced a self-titled mini-LP titled that became one of the classics of the new Italian Rock of the period. At the same time the band was on tour with The Sound in Italy. In mid-'86, on the top of their popularity and after being invited for a series of gigs at the Biennale in Barcelona, the band split-up.
