(english version below) I Gardening at Night sono una band di Torino nata nel 2006 a seguito dello scioglimento degli Squirrel. A Michele Sarda, Daniele Molino e Marcello Oliviero (chitarra+voce, basso e batteria degli Squirrel) si aggiungono Enrico Viarengo (già chitarrista dei Green Woodpecker) e, dagli ultimi mesi del 2008, Marco Gottero (già bassista dei Somewhere Between). Il gruppo si ispira al pop rock americano dei R.E.M., dal cui pezzo omonimo prende il nome, alle ballate acustiche dei Red House Painters, al rock and roll lo-fi dei Pavement, scegliendo di comporre e suonare dal vivo quasi sempre con 3 chitarre. I Gardening at Night incidono nell'estate del 2009 il loro primo EP, Act Surprised, che vede al mixer Eugenio Mazzetto (anche chitarrista de Il Cerchio). Nell'autunno dello stesso anno scrivono la colonna sonora originale per il corto di Luca Vigliani, "Non Ora, Non Qui", presentato al Torino Film Festival 2009. Sempre nell'autunno 2009 i GaN accompagnano i LowLine, band di Manchester, nelle date di Piozzo (CN) e Verbania del loro tour italiano. Gardening at Night was born in some foggy night in 2006, in front of some Guinness in a pub somewhere in Turin, northern Italy. Three of their four original members were part of a band called Squirrel, which used to play pop-rock and tour in or near Turin, or even far. They also recorded and EP. Other musicians came from two bands playing in Turin (Green Woodpecker and Somewhere Between, which also recorded EPs and LPs). Gardening at Night, since 2006, have been working hard and they did several rehearsal between the pines and the oaks of the hills near the city (but, above all, between amplifiers and christmast lights in a big basement full of carpets) and nowadays their line up is Michele Sarda (voice, jaguar guitar, takamine guitar), Daniele Molino (bass), Enrico Viarengo (back vocals, rickebacker guitar), Marcello Oliviero (drums) and Marco Gottero (back vocals, telecaster guitar). In their songs sometimes appear also mandolins, pianos, xylophones or some other weird stuff. Act Surprised EP is their first album, it contains 3 songs and it’s been recorded in the summer of 2009, produced and mastered by Eugenio Mazzetto at Casaluce Rec. in Rivarolo Canavese. It has been printed in one thousand copies and now the band is doing some gigs to support the release of the record. Gardening at Night also supported the Manchester-based band Lowline, in their first italian tour, for the gigs in Piozzo and Verbania. They also appeared in the Torino Film Festival 2009 as composers of the original soundtrack for “Non Ora, Non Qui” (Not Now, Not Here), a short movie (made by Luca Vigliani) who earned the participation at the festival. Gardening at Night have also a website, which is www.gardeningatnight.it, or you can find them on their myspace at www.myspace.com/gardeningband. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Gardening+at+Night">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
