| In 2005, pushed by its want to denunce a society loosing the sense of itself and its dignity, Ivo Di Marco gave up as a drummer and decided to dedicate his time to a personal project, playing guitar, he conceives Them Philosophy. Elisa D’andrea joins the band soon, becoming the scratching voice as well as the image that characterizes the band. The searching for the final set it’s very hard and on novembre of the same year, after testing some elements, Giovanni Cecoli earns the place behind the “skins”, simple but effective drummer. The band concludes the searches with the arrival of the bassista Claudio Angels, the youngest limb of the group. Thanks to a repertory already almost completed from the same Ivo Di Marco, Them Philosophy begins soon their intense route in the roman underground, beginning in the best locals of Rome such as Hard Rock Cafè, Traffic, Jailbreak, Alkatraz, The Gardens of Adonis, etc... The group goes on with an actual live activity all during the 2006, until December, when Carlo Bellotti, leader of Alkemist-Fanatix Europe, give them the possibility to record their own debut album at Zeta Factory, Bologna. On may 2007, Them Philosophy begins the recording of “Tought Before Action”, produced by Leonardo Magnolfi, coming on January 2008 for the label Uk Division. At the end of the recording, because of too much arguments, the band breaks off with Giovanni Cecoli. In view of the new season pawned in the promotion of the disk, it comes immediately contacted Alessando "Lex" Ceccacci, drummer interested to a search more technician/creative of the actual tool, inspired by drummers as Jeff Porcaro, Matt "Spug" Mc Donough, Joey Jordison, Danny Carey, Tommy Lee, ecc... The new formation renews energies and it is getting ready intensely to the promotion of "Tought Before Action", although working on new pieces. From the winter 2006 Them Philosophy plays in the best Italian venues such as Traffic, Sinister Noise, Init, New Age, Music Drome (ex Transilvania – Milan), getting a very good feedback both of public and sales. In the October 2007 they are the official opening band of Diaframma, during the festival “Deep Art Day”, in Bracciano (Rome). In may 2008 they play all over the Europe with Christian Death, the legend of gothic, in the most important venues of Europe, like Stone (Dusseldorf), Tower (Brema), Progresja (Warsaw, in wich Dimmu Borgir, Dillinger Escape Plan and Apocalyptica played), A38 (Budapest), Viper Room (Wien), Boogaloo (Zagreb), Slimelight (London) and the famous Wave Gotik Treffen festival (Leipzig).
After the tour, Them Philosophy continues to perform on many stages, also on the stage of Circolo degli Artisti, in Rome, with the roman band Zu. |
