The Slim Fit, new Indie Pop band from Cagliari (Sardinia), born as a joke, a funny way for play music with friends, but soon the guys realized that they can do something more.
Influenced by different kind of music they decided to focus their sound around keyboard and distortion inspired form electronic music and indie rock.
After few changes caused by job commitment the band is now composed by the singer and song-writer Daniele Garzia, 27, the keyboard player and composer Piero Marras, 28, the drummer Roberto Sechi, 24, the guitarist Samuele Zucca, 27 and the bassist Claudio Orefice, 25.
In the 28 September 2012 they present their new song “La fine del mondo” that put in front of the audience their vision of the end of the world in an enigmatic way: is it a beautiful girl that fascinates everyone or a big party with disturbing characters?
"The project of the video 'La fine del mondo' comes basically from the need to have a showcase on You tube and on all platforms accessible through social networks" said Daniel Garzia, so they decided to chose as director a young artist of Cagliari, Giovanni Piras, 24 aka Joe Bastardi who worked also for other four musician.
“This choose is not random, Joe Bastardi is a boy of our age and so he has the possibility to understand better our point of view.” Continue the singer.
“He had a specific idea on how to make the video and after few meeting we arrived to a compromise. This video has a great particularity because is a 'long take', an uninterrupted shot from the start to the end (something really new for Cagliari) that we made with the collaboration of 60/70 people who play as background actors “
“All this people act as the 'rags of the world' ” said the director Joe Bastardi “So in the video you can't see beautiful or affluent people but prostitutes, pirates, murderers, beggars, mad” a sort of 'Court of Miracle'.
“This acting was perfect for the kind of video I had in mind, 'a long take', a really difficult shot for the necessity of coordinate 60 people without the possibility of mistake. It is a technique that lends itself very well to create some agitation”.
“If I decided to shoot music video is absolutely for the possibility of experiment”.
After the screening of the video, the band began to play in the Old Square (an Irish pub) in Cagliari involving a good turnout of people: friends, or simply curious.
The guys played their four songs, including the most popular on You Tube '1963 ', 'Sta andando tutto bene' and 'Il gioco' plus two new songs, including 'La fine del mondo'.
Without pause, the band pulled in a distorted loop all the audience who watched mesmerized the
movements of Daniele, singer and front-man, who acted as in trance.
For now, the future looks bright for Slim Fit, aware of their limits and of the current economic difficulties (which leave little space for underground musicians) the guys remain optimistic and spur themselves to improve.
After all, as the singer admits "Pessimism is not reality and it does not help you to live well"
