Ikitan Sign to Taxi Driver Records
Good for these dudes, and yeah, I mean that. Since the release late last year of their 20-minute single-song debut EP, Twenty-Twenty (review here), Genova-based three-piece Ikitan have busted their collective hump to spread the word about their doings. In 2020-’21, that has meant a lot of social media efforts, but dig too the fact that they lugged all their stuff out to Forte Geremia — there’s a visitor’s center there; I wonder if they needed a permit to record — and pro-filmed a video of themselves playing the piece live on what looked like a pretty chilly day up on that hill, releasing both the audio and the clip of that earlier this summer with the straightforward title Twenty-Twenty Live at Forte Geremia. It’s not like they’re just sharing memes of themselves or asking what your favorite OJM album is, is what I’m saying.
So their pickup by Taxi Driver Records? Good news as far as I’m concerned. You know, in the announcement below, they talk about Ikitan socks. Haha, right? Yeah, sure. But in the YouTube video description for the Forte Geremia thing, I noticed they have a credit for “IKITAN’s socks: Napit.it” listed as well, so if you’re thinking they might not be serious about custom socks, don’t write off the idea entirely yet. Teacups either, I guess. Gotta keep warm when you’re out there playing in open spaces.
Here’s looking forward to what’s coming, whatever it might be:
IKITAN joins forces with Taxi Driver Records
We’re proud to announce the partnership with Massimo Perasso and Taxi Driver Records for IKITAN’s upcoming project.
What is that going to be? A new collection of t-shirts? Some Orazio-branded teacups? The original and second-foot IKITAN socks? It’s a secret for now… but it won’t be for long.
