BIOGRAPHY:

Los Fastidios born in Verona (north east of Italy) in late 1991 led by Enrico (well-known figure of the punkrock/ska scene and founder of the indipendent label KOB Records).

The Los Fastidios sound is a powerful melodic streetska&punk which mixes classical 80’s British Punk-Oi! sounds with a lot of skanking more, and some reggae, rock'n'roll, hardcore rythms with a touch of pop, sung in Italian with some touches of english, french, spanish and german languages.

The lyrics come from the most cheerful street situations to more serious and involved matters which deal with social problems, such as battles against racism-fascism and any form of discrimination, for the animal rights, for freedom and against the capitalistic system...

These last years, Los Fastidios have archieved great number of anti-racist intiatives and social causes,by taking part in various support gigs with collections in favour of Chiapas, Mapuche, for the workers, against racism, for the animal rights, against war, against capitalism and neoliberism, etc...

Over the last years, Los Fastidios have made a lot of tours, thanks to which they travelled all over Italy, but also in Germany, France, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, Slovakia, England, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Denmark, Slovenia, Serbia, Euskadi, Sweden, Austria, Czech Republic, Belarus, Finland,  Poland, Eire, Ulster, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Greece, Israel, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Canada.Thanks to these gigs the band received very good reviews. .. 

From the 31st of may 2019 the band started the JOY JOY JOY Tour for promoting the ninth album, that is highly appreciated and well reviewed by the world trade press. The Joy Joy Joy Tour will bring the band one time again on all the roads of the world.

The Joy Joy Joy album Jo was produced, like all the previous works of the band, by the independent Kob Records, this time with the collaboration of Potencial Hardcore (Madrid) and supported by Fire and Flames Music (Kiel), Coretex (Berlin), True Rebel Store (Hamburg), Lonsdale in Deutschland (Neuss) and Ufip Cymbals (Pistoia).

In this album there are a lot of good friends/guests of the band: Dirk & Elf (Slime) in the song "Shoenen Café", the "legendary" Paul Heaton (The Housemartins / The Beautiful South) in the song "I have a dream", Elisa Dixan (Kob Records and Los Fastidios tour manager) in the song "A message pour toi", Dj Koma Aka Mauràs in the song "Il suono della strada", De Veggent (Redska) with his keyboards in the songs "I have a dream", "Rude Firm" and "You", Giotanni (Ashpipe) with his violin in the song "Marichiweu" and Fulvio & Lorenzo (Skassapunka) backing vocals in all the songs !!!!

 

Since the beginning of 2019 Elisa Dixan (tourmanager of the band since 2012) is also regular guest on stage with the band for singing some songs. Elisa Dixan released two 7" EP in 2018 and 2019 titled "Elisa Dixan Sings Los Fastidios" Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, including some old Los Fastidios songs sung by her.

In March 2020 the band was forced to stop the tour because of Covid19, but still managed during the lockdown to record 12 acoustic songs for as many videos shared during the quarantine, which will be collected, at the great request of the loyal audience, in the album "From Lockdown to the World" released in August 2020 and produced by Kob Records in collaboration with Potencial Hardcore (E) and supported by Fire and Flames (D), Lonsdale (D), Relco London (UK), True Rebel Store (D), Larsen Productions (F) and Prof Sny Vinyl (CZ).

In January 2021 Los Fastidios came out with the unreleased track "Solidari-Ska" included in the 7 "World Wide Unite Vol. 2 vinyl benefit compilation, shared with the bands What We Feel (Russia), My Terror (Germany), Mister X (Belarus) and produced by the german label Audiolith Records.

In 2021 and 2022 Los Fastidios celebrated their 30 years on the road across Europe and UK to promote the album "XXX The Number Of The Beat" out on october 2021. 

In october 2022 the band will play for the first time in Usa.

To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary, the band has also decided to reissue on Kob Records, all the old albums on colored vinyl, limited edition.
