03Interview

Name, where are you from?
Andrea Sguatti Donati  Milan, Italy.

What do you do?
I'm a Bike Courier for UBM in Milan.

Describe your style in three words?
Free, unique, savage.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
NOFX - Carroponte Milano - 2015. 

If you could put any three bands in history on a lineup?
Mineral, Attrito HC, Boyfriendz.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
Skate, hardcore punk, post-punk.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
If I could I would definitely spend an hour with Richard Sachs, one of the frame building masters of the world.

Where is your favourite independent venue in Italy?
My favourite independent venue in Italy is in Genova. It's called Respvblica Superiorem and it's a hill-bombing track bike race in the open traffic. It's a great race but also a great moment to see all the guys and friends riding around Italy.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Peppe Amore. Peppe is an Italian producer. Is a real friend and a great artist. He's every time two steps overall. Innovation and perfect melodies are his best qualities.

A song that defines the teenage you?

A song you wished you had written?

'Hannah Montana' by KnowPMW.

A song people wouldn’t expect you to like?
