Biography

An English band whose formation occurred in Cambridge in 1990, Ezio was -- at first -- Ezio Lunedei and Mark "Booga" Fowell. The duo honed their chops by playing all over the country and released their first album, The Angel Song, on independent Salami Records. The release and their live shows were enough to attract major label interest, and in 1994 Ezio signed with heavy hitters BMG. They then recorded and released their Rupert Hine produced debut -- Black Boots On Latin Feet -- in 1995. After a 1997 follow up (Diesel Vanilla), the duo expanded its roster to include Lidia Cascarino on bass and producer Peter Van Hooke on drums to augment their live and studio work. Eventually the lineup would settle on Ezio, Fowell, Cascarino, Lee Russell on percussion and other instruments, and Alex Reeves taking over drumming duties from Van Hooke. The band continued to tour and record, and released Higher in 2000, the Making of Mr. Spoons in 2003, and Ten Thousand Bars in 2006. Ezio, over the years, also released a number of live albums, DVD's, and compilations.
