THE ALBIONAUTS

The Albionauts were born in 2008 in Valencia, Spain, from the band Covers Albion.
Lorenzo Fraioli (vocals and guitar), Rafa Martin (bass and vocals), Jordi Marin (drums).

The Albionauts are a unique, rare, special, talented, creative, virtual, and real rock band.

This band half Italian, half Spanish, was formed in Valencia in August 2008. The name come from Albion, which is the oldest name of Great Britain. Probably, Albionauts is more than a band; is a lifestyle.

The four band members live in different cities, Roma, Barcelona and Valencia. Each member rehearse on his own, and the band get together only at concerts, gigs, events. This implies the need to work seriously and professionally. Through new media and Internet (call and video conference) the band is able to plan the activities (program management), to rehearse (tracks and songs) and to produce music (create & recording).

Along with british rock, albionauts music incorporates elements of 80s Punk, rockabilly, american folk music, 60s rock and roll, but above all Beatles influences.

The band Is trying to achieve commercial success in Spain, with his forst LP Nouvelle Vague, that is out at Fnac Stores (independent circuit) even if his edition are still free. The band is looking for a label.

Before the Albionats project's founding, the band's future members were active in different parts of the spanish music scene, above all in Valencia and Barcelona. Albionauts first name was Red Morning Light, and the second Albion Covers. Since 2005 these two bands created albionauts music framework.

Albionauts have an important international experience: more that 50 concerts in 4 years between Spain, Italy and UK, including gigs @ Cavern Club (Liverpool) or @ Arenal Sound 2011 (Macro Festival International de Buriana)
