Laghetto

The Profile

Laghetto is an Italian hardcore/post-hardcore band from Bologna, celebrated for irreverent humor, theatrical shows (with visual representative Tuono Pettinato playing a fake guitar), and a rigorous DIY ethic. Their album “Sonate in bu minore per quattrocento scimmiette urlanti” featured striking artwork and was co-produced by fifteen independent labels. Lyrics swing between nonsense and dark humor, with nods to pop culture and Italian references (from Carla Bruni to S.S. Napoli), and they are noted for frequent participation in benefit gigs.
