Gleemen

Musical Group

Gleemen formed in Genoa and are cited in reviews as one of the first Italian prog bands. Line-up cited in reviews: Bambi Fossati (vocals, guitar), Maurizio Cassinelli (drums, vocals), Angelo Traverso (bass) and Lio Marchi (keyboards, organ). The band later changed name to Garybaldi while keeping the same line-up.

Known for a cover of the Beatles' "Lady Madonna" and a 1970 self-titled album blending prog, hard-rock and blues. Members named in reviews include Bambi Fossati (guitar/vocals), Maurizio Cassinelli, Angelo Traverso and Lio Marchi. Reviews note a later release titled "Oltre... lontano, lontano" and mention that Bambi Fossati had recently passed away (as of a 2014 review).

Gleemen are an early Genoese rock group credited as one of Italy's first prog bands. Reviews praise Bambi Fossati's Hendrix-like guitar and the band's mix of prog, blues and hard-rock elements. Their 1970 self-titled album and the later Oltre... lontano, lontano receive particular attention.

For:Fans of Italian progressive rock, collectors of 60s/70s rock, listeners who like blues-influenced guitar and historic rock rediscoveries.

In 1966, the Gleemen formed in Genoa, one of the very first Italian prog-bands, quickly gaining recognition thanks to a more than decent cover of the Beatles' "Lady Madonna".
