BiografieRome is living a very special day. There is a super show at the Opera
House, in all the most fashionable artists´ presence. A glamorous parade
that would have never been performed again: ten different orchestras on
a mobile stand, a rare magnificence of feathers and sequins.
A letter reached the young mayor collaborator, who co-ordinated the adhesions:
<but once we were a good band.
We would be glad to take part
in your show.

Room With A View >>.

They appear on the bandstand wearing dark blue tailcoats and silk-hats,
with faces made pale by powder and eyes swallen because of sleepless
nights. They sing a love treason deception, looking for the strength to
sneer at fate, in dissolutness.
The audience is puzzled and listens in absolute silence. Then encores
the band, acclaiming.
"Room With A View" sing the ambiguos, autoironic, decadent scenery of
unreal nights of a pseudo-cultured and pro-aristocratic new bourgeois class.
They leave their last audience, with biting irony avoiding that fatuous
unreal world which was shattering like a fragile champagne glass.


-Born in the April of 1999, as Black Thorns Lodge
-Black Thorns Lodge´s "Promo 2000" is recorded in August 2000, and it
allows the band to be noticed and voted among the first three bands in
the Italian scene by the Psycho! magazine readers
-In the October of 2001 the band signs for My Kingdom Music
-In the January of 2002, after changing their moniker in "Room With A
View" and some alternations in their line-up, they enter the Temple of
Noise studios to record their debut album.
-May 2002 : "First Year Departure" is out


Emotions, suggestions and melodies in rapid succession, evoking the
cadence of old crank little organ, in a timeless record, full of black and
white snapshots.
Polkas, little marches, soft requiems, once-posh nightclubs and maharajas: welcome
to the "Room With A View" world, a street theatre where puppets and
clowns play tag and where, between a waltz step and a dream, you can
travel from Trieste to Stalingrad to Salonika
