THE SEXTRESS was formed in 1986 from an idea that five guys wanted to have some fun making music. The band has always gotten its inspiration from GARAGE type music with typically psychedelic tones and sounds. We played songs by legendary bands of this genre and especially truly legendary groups such as FUZZTONES, CHESTERFIELD KINGS, SONICS,  LYRES, CREEPS .

After a lot of rehearsing we started playing in the local PUBS, sparking some interest in this genre. In the meantime, thanks to our “musical” maturity, which was gradually growing, we also started playing songs from other genres and rearranging them in our own EXPLOSIVE style. We started performing quite frequently both in bars and in many local musical festivals.

We were also asked to play backup for more famous bands, such as SKIANTOS , FLESHTONES, JAMES TAYLOR QUARTET, CHESTERFIELD KINGS, and legendary FUZZTONES.

The band has had numerous formations (eleven) but nonetheless we have always managed to go ahead with our musical “project” and are now considered to be a “rarity” in Friuli with this genre (and proud of it!!). We recorded two demo in a studio and are currently working on a CD,The Sextress in Apologize, containing our own garage songs. We have been playing for almost 20 years now; yes, there have been many gigs but our riveting way of performing and our great desire to play make this band gush forth pure energy each time we play.

And to top it all off an incredible contact with a person, who for us is truly significant: RUDI PROTRUDI, fabulous singer of the legendary but still contemporary FUZZTONES. What they are proposing is for us to record one of their songs – BAD NEWS TRAVELS FAST– and include it on a Fuzztones Tribute Album, which they themselves are about to produce.
