Biography
North by Northwest came to life in 1999, looking completely different from what the band is now: Andrea Carletti (1986, guitar and vocals), Federico Forleo
(1985, drums) and Federico "Tigre" Giorgi (1986, bass) began playing together as a trio in Metaversus, a grunge-punk-rock coverband.
In 2003 they got stuck with covers and started playing original material in different bands: Tigre joined his friends Ritorno alle Origini (previously known as Terzo Grado) as a guitar player, while Andrea and Federico (who switched from drums to guitar) kept on playing together. Drummer Eugenio Frasca (1987) joined in September 2003 and bass player Dario Khan (1987) joined in 2005.
This is the birth of North by Northwest. They begin working on some songs, mostly written by Federico, and make their first live appearances. In the first months of
2006 they start recording their first demo, finally completed in November: everything except for drums is recorded in their houses and the demo is mixed with the help of Maurizio Mancini, the bass player of Jailbreak, a hard rock band in which Andrea plays guitar since 2002.
Their song The Long Goodbye is part of the compilation "The best of Indies in Italy" (Audiocoop).
In 2006 Dario moves to London to continue his studies: Tigre, who had previously left Ritorno alle Origini (Federico had also been their drummer for a year), joins North by Northwest.
In January 2008 North
by Northwest part ways with Eugenio Frasca. In May 2008 Fabio Luppi (1982), previously with Movengo and Lo Zoo di Berlino, joins North by Northwest as their new drummer.
The band is currently working on their first album at Hombre Lobo Studio in Rome.
