Max Pezzali took fans and the press on a trip to visit the abandoned nightclubs in his area, with a tour from Milan to Pavia. The moments are shared on social media, for the launch, on April 15th, of a new unreleased song on Youtube and radio. Even if we are away from home, remember that it is an educational activity, if you behave badly, a 7 will start in conduct”, joked the singer. The tour, explains Ansa, recalls the good times gone by with a song, written with Jacopo Ettorre and Michele Canova, who also oversaw its production, born thanks to the book “Disco Mute”, where the venues that marked a era, now in ruins. Places that come to life in the video, dedicated to Claudio Coccoluto and accompanied by the testimonies of many DJs. «Seeing those extraordinary, epic places, now empty and vandalized – he says Pezzali speaking into the microphone on the bus – it made me think about how places stripped of people lose their charm, which remains only in the memory, they looked like photos of a fallen civilization like Atlantis.” “In Pavia there were 2 discos and 106 pharmacies, now only 106 pharmacies remain.” Quote “With a deca“, of the 883, from 1992, as he makes his way through the streets of the center of Pavia, in the direction of the “Docking“, a stone’s throw from the Covered Bridge, and the “Celebrity“, which has now become a garage (a place reminiscent of the song “The Queen of Celebrity” ed.).
«Discos were thought to be the cause of all degradation, they closed them but the degradation remained»
«Seven times out of 10 I couldn’t get in because I’ve always had a problem with the dress code but – says the now 56-year-old Max in front of the entrance to the Docking – I felt I was part of something bigger than myself. Here we discovered music and elsewhere, for my generation everything happened there. Then at a certain point they closed because people couldn’t stand the noise anymore, it was thought that the discos were the cause of all the degradation, they closed them but the degradation remained, they were the scapegoat, but evidently the point wasn’t there ». Indeed, according to Pezzali, «the discos had crazy cultural merits, I was the most provincial of the provincials and in these 2 places I heard songs that shaped me, here I saw diversity for the first time». “Abandoned Discos” will also become a comic book, created by him and written by Roberto Recchioni, to be released in May. The unreleased song will also enter the lineup of the stadium tour, starting on June 9th from the Nereo Rocco in Trieste. During his long tour Pezzali said that the co-founder Mauro Repetto, at the theater with the show “In search of spiderman“, «he is telling his version, that’s right». And that the nuclear tactical Penguins are the true heirs of the 883, because they manage to “describe everyday life in simple language”.
