The Technicolors
Phoenix, Arizona, United States | INDIE
Bio
The TECHNICOLORS are a new, young American rock band based in Phoenix, Arizona.
Formed in 2010: front man BRENNAN SMILEY (guitars and lead vocals), MIKEY FANIZZA (guitars and vocals), MICHAEL NICOLETTE (bass) and
KEVIN PROCIW (drums) - the Technicolors present an original blend of up tempo modern rock and intimate acoustic music with folk influences.
Their set also includes innovative, lively interpretations of classic rock. As of fall 2010, this set has begun
rocking Arizona and neighbouring California. The tour extended to the east, southern and midwestern USA, with plans for a new album, a new tour and dates in Europe and abroad in 2012.
“We know what we do is part of a longer tradition” says Smiley. “We realise that artists from the 70s and 80s wanted to be different, and thrived on creating that in the studio
and on stage. We’re happy when people our age and older come to our shows and tell us they like to see musicians front and centre again, being creative and sounding fresh”
Their debut release, “WHO ARE YOU” is available on CD and on iTunes (24 September 2010, Best Media Group).
All the tracks are led by Smiley’s melodic tenor. Fast paced
songs like “TO LOVE” and "FOLLOW THE LEADER" resonate live as twin lead guitarists Smiley and Finazza trade punchy licks and solos underscored by the pounding rhythm section of Nicolette
and Prociw.
“CITY WHERE YOU SLEEP”, is a melodic ballad supported by fiddle and upright bass while the lilting acoustic “ABRAHAM LINCOLN” tells the story of a penny and the different lives it encounters on its journey around the USA.
