Bio:
Born with the name of Dejanira back in 1994, Mindfeels were originally the trio of Italo Graziana (Soul Seller - Drums), Roberto Barazzotto (Bass) and Luca Carlomagno (Guitars / Keyboards / Violin). From the beginning, Mindfeels showed their love of American AOR/Westcoast legends, Toto, and built a set list of Toto cover songs for live, instrumental performances. Later, Dejanira joined forces with female singer Raffaella Miani, who fronted the band for the recording of their first, unreleased album, which they self produced. A few years later, new frontman Davide Gilardino, replaced Raffaella on vocals. The band was completed with the addition of Gloria Strippoli on backing vocals, and Christian Rossetti on keyboards. This new line-up (with the exception of Gloria Strippoli) began recording the second unreleased album "XXenty", a title chosen in celebration of their more than two decades of music together. The new line-up prompted a new moniker – and Mindfeels was born. They chose the name to represent their infinite love of Toto, led by guitar maestro Steve Lukather, and in particular, their timeless album “Mindfields".In 2017, Mindfeels signed with new label, Art Of Melody Music, for the European release of "XXenty" (scheduled for November 17th), and also with ASM - Anderstein Music for a dedicated Japanese release later in December. The cd version will feature liner notes written by Kenneth Bremer, editor in chief of renowned westcoast music website Blue Desert, while the first single, "Soul Has Gone Away", will be launched with an official video in October.
Album:
Formed in 1994 as Dejanira, a Toto tribute band, Mindfeels later evolved into an original music project. The name Mindfeels pays homage to Toto’s eleventh work, “Mindfields.” Their first record, “XXenty,” released in November 2017, celebrated over twenty years of music together. A Japanese edition followed in December. The group performed concerts in Italy, sharing the stage with Boulevard and Soul Seller, and collaborated with Michael Kratz in 2018 on the track “Dragging Me Outside.” In May 2025, they contributed the new song “All Behind” to the compilation “We Still Rock... The World.”Following the stylistic path of its predecessor, “2WO” showcases the band's ability to blend technical prowess with classy songwriting. Once again, this is paired with a drive to constantly push boundaries - a trademark never absent from the finest works in the classic Westcoast/AOR genre.
