"L'IRLANDA
NEL CUORE,
LA BIRRA NELLE VENE"
credits
|
May 1998: the weekly magazine
"Avvenimenti" releases our first CD
of traditional Irish songs and it is distributed all over Italy, approximately 50.000 copies.
The green cover with the logo
of the band has, in the middle, the title of the CD in Italian, and the
translation in English would be "Ireland in the heart, Beer in the veins", the same
as what it is written in Irish around the design.
That CD is composed of 11
songs and 3 instrumentals (total running time approx.45 min.), all
arranged by HER PILLOW in a folk-rock style more than in a traditional
one. Almost all the songs are the ones that are usually sung in pubs and that's why most of the lyrics are about drinking and
about all the weird things that happen to people that drink too much...

"HA-ROO"
credits

1st of July 1999: the same
"Avvenimenti" releases our second CD
of traditional Irish songs, "HA-ROO", (it contains 14 songs for
about 50 min.) that takes its name from the verses of the first song
("Johnny I hardly knew ye").
"Ha-Roo"
is in the whole angrier and sadly thoughtful than the first CD. This rage
takes its step from the fact that history and human efforts of politics
and culture do not seem to overcome the ancient divisions and the
reciprocal hate that split the countries. And so we keep on staring at
wars so close to us all and secular conflicts that drag along in
indifference of the Nations, while people keep on dying.
From all these considerations
rises the reflection upon ourselves, upon the
desire to love and to be loved, the desire of drinking and dancing, just
to forget... even for a while.

"DROPS"
credits
|
"DROPS" (2002) is
the first CD from Her Pillow that contains only original songs and music.
It has been first released (November
1999) as a demo of 9 songs, then later (November 2001) has been completed
and modified. Now features 11 songs written during these nine years of
activity: from the earliest such as "Our Song" and "True
Love Blue", to the latest one that is "R.I.P."
It has been presented in
January 2002 during the 9th Birthday Party of the band.
The songs in "DROPS"
were born in different times, for different reasons and with different
moods.
But there is one thing that
perhaps join all these songs and it is the fact
that whoever wrote the words felt them deep inside, sometimes too
much...Those are not happy songs because everyone of us believes that
living is not so easy and only Music can bring you through...

17th of March 2000: we record
the live concert we held for St. Patrick's Day at the Teatro
Tenda in Florence in front of over 2.500 people. We release this
CD (18 tracks for 80 min.) with the name of "CATHERPILLOW" in
order to reflect the strength of the band in live concerts when the
audience becomes integral part of the show..
