New Look - Stage


New Look - Stage (instrumental)

A fun track by New Look from 1985. Youtube only has the instrumental on video but the vocals on this one really bring it together. I got them mixed up with the group Stage who had a string of Italo songs in the 1980s but from what I can find this is a different group.

The Happy Boys - I Guess You Will Do *


I Guess You Will Do (instrumental) - The Happy Boys

The Happy Boys have been a longtime creative pursuit of mine. I have resisted the urge until now to use Italobot to showcase some of my own work as I don't exactly want to use the blog as a tool of megalomania. But this is a track that I think fans of Italo might enjoy.

"I Guess You Will Do" is the last track we recorded for the album after I moved back to San Francisco from New York. Its an homage to Giorgio Moroder's work in the 80s. I have included the instrumental as a download but if you are intrigued to here more of the Happy Boys music you can download the album "Big Hit" on iTunes or CDBaby.

A few years ago we did some music videos one in Los Angeles and one in New York. They were a lot of fun to film and we met some wonderful people in the process. Below you may enjoy our song "La Dolce Vita" and my solo effort as Giani Velcreaux singing "All I Want to Know."

Lenroy Ciao Ciao Gigolo


Lenroy - Ciao Ciao Gigolo
(listen on imeem)
1987 - Spain
Label: Don Disco
Credits:
Backing Vocals - Eva Cruells , Nuria Casadesus
Drums - Checho Soler
Mixed By - Maurizio Tonelli
Producer - Fernandisco , Gino
Producer, Keyboards - J. Stefanelli

Had a hard time tracking this one down after the video was pulled off Youtube. Thank heavens I came across it before they yanked it because its pretty infective. He had a follow up single in 1989 called 'Big Fun.' It doesn't move me the same way 'Ciao Ciao Gigolo' does but its still fun.

My Mine - Hypnotic Tango



My Mine - Hypnotic Tango (1983)

More Italo Disco from the Germans. I didn't think that they were ever able to make a song as tight as Hypnotic Tango. They had a follow up in 1984 called Zorro and I did a little more research and found this jewel, Cupid Girl.
