DEV

 

Dev, whose real name is Davide Belfrond, was born in January 1992. He likes to think that it was the guitar that met him, and not the other way around, because until he was 14 he never listened to music.
Thanks to an essay in middle school, he approached the instrument, hence the first guitar lesson with a teacher .. In the second lesson he already knew how to play Back in Black and Hell's Bells by Ac / DC .. From here his "Career". He begins to gain experience in small groups until he enters the Ecole du Rock in 2014 where he forms a band which, since 2017, takes the name of Dysania Syndrome, with which he performs various concerts (Piacenza, Turin, Aosta). The Dysania participate in various evenings and contests, in one of these they win, together with other groups, the opportunity to record a single. Their song is "SWEET ESCAPE" which is enjoying some success in the underground. In the same year he participates in the ROCK IN MILLE in Courmayeur. In 2018 he joined the crossover rock band Dysadattati. The pandemic in 2020 doesn't help and both bands break up.

2022 brings luck and he is called to record guitars in the studio for a project (Mirino and Maggie's farm) in which Bob Dylan's songs are rearranged in Italian. The following month he is called up to join the A.x.i.s. and from here begins his experience in the group, where he is doing a personal job to find his sound.

 

TARELLO

 

Tarello (Andrea Usai) began playing back in 1985 with the first nucleus of Crohm in via Antica Zecca. After a year off for military service, together with Tiziano (1987) he founded Reject Pain with whom he made two Black Metal demo tapes. After this experience, in 1988, he founded the Mupetz, a hard core punk band, with which he made a demo in a year and a half of life. After a short break, at the end of 1989, the Antenati were born which, together with Chaos and Technocracy, are the band with which he has had the most satisfaction. In fact, Tarello recorded two 45s (7'), a mini CD, a compilation, an Italian tour with the Antenati and several concerts in Europe with CAT.
After these experiences he takes a break of 16 years in which he deals with work, family, mountains, sports, etc. In 2015, together with Monica, he founded Nido d'Ape and, at the same time, played with Spread, with whom he participated in the selections for Tavagnasco Rock. He knows Dead, who plays bass and sings; thus the Ahia were born. In 2022 the meeting, thanks to Francesco-C, with Axis.

 

MAX

 

Of Ivrea origins, Max, a bass player by passion, began his musical experience in 1977 by forming a group inspired by the Beatles and the Eagles, musical genres that were very popular in those years, so much so that he wanted to call the band "Beagles", a name later discarded for assonance with the Piedmontese term "bigolo". They therefore became the "Flyers", a band from Canavese who had some success. Then taking inspiration from the sound of Chicago, Steely Dan, Chuck Mangione etc. in the mid-80s several musicians were added, including an excellent wind section, which included well-known elements who still play in classical music and jazz orchestras, as well as professors from the Piedmontese conservatories. In the early 2000s Max joined "Chaw Went", a solid R&B formation with a powerful Southern sound that makes use of collaborators such as harmonica players, singers, keyboardists, guitarists who take turns on the stages of northern Italy and Switzerland, also taking part in the Venaus Cover Band Festival with a tribute to ZZTop. Chaw Went are still active.

Also in those years he replaced the historic bassist of the "Budwilers", a reggae band inspired by Bob Marley, of which he is still a member today. In 2010 he formed the "Vidocq" with which he finally recorded his first CD supervised and also played by Vittorio De Scalzi of the New Trolls and Aldo Tagliapietra delle Orme. The Italian Progressive which inspired the Vidocq formation led them to participate in the Tavarock and other local festivals. Once the progressive adventure was over Max moved to Aosta where in 2022 he contributed to creating a new formation, inspired by the jazz constellation, which will soon debut with the name "Raffinity Sonore". At the end of 2023 she meets Francois, leader of A.X.I.S. and enthusiastically accepts the proposal to join the group.

Max today lives with a wonderful partner and his 4-legged buddy Ragoo.
