Artist Detailed Info: Moogg

Italian band Moogg formed 2003 in Brescia, initially as an instrumental trio comprised of Antonio Gafforini (keyboards), Marco Dolfini (drums/vocals) and Rosario Rampulla (bass), but with Ivan Vanoglio (guitars) joining a year later and Gianluca Avanzati replacing Rampulla. The band's sound is strongly influenced by the Canterbury Scene genre, as well as jazz-rock, fusion and even brief Rock Progressivo Italiano elements. Caravan, Hatfield & the North, PFM and Weather Report are clear influences, but the band has their own unique upbeat sound for much of their music, with plenty of reflective and darker passages as well. The extended keyboard soloing of Gafforini is a defining highlight of the band, and the strong and charismatic Italian vocals provided by Dolfini are also a huge plus.
