About us

The Bad Bed project was born in Spring 2019 by some students of a music school in Forlì, Italy. Since 2021 the band has been led by the guitarist Francesco Zamagna, in art Keato Sanders, and Alberto Vucossa, or The Drummer. Other artists are collaborating such as Alessandro Vucossa, Filippo Antonini (alias Rintin Zizou), Alessandro Verna (also known as Alex West), Edward Lleshi e Filippo Mengozzi, known as Smegmaragazzi.

 

The band was initially called Marmellata Sessione (in English Jam Session) and it had been focused on writing new songs between summer and autumn 2019, where it is possible to recognize various influences such as psychedelia, avantgarde, garage rock and electronic music. After the first concerts, the band published online the single No One Can Hear You.

​

The Globus Pilgrim, our first album, was recorded in summer 2020: thanks to multiple musical influences, the piece is a mystic mix of psychedelia and esotericism. Thanks to cut up and overdubbing, the album is full of homages to Krautrock and avantgarde music. 

 

Due to our young age, the piece focuses on fighting climate change and the advocacy to social justice, two topics symbol of the gen z: in the song Human Being, is divided in three movements  Lazuward, Smoking Tower and Cosmically Horrified and it illustrates a sci-fi story of human beings arriving on Earth thanks to aliens. Humans will destroy the planet and humanity: this sci-fi, with a Star Trek past and a possible future, it is a perfect example of Bad Bed’s eclectic style based on cult bands such as Amon Düül II, the Gong and the Ash Ra Tempel and also mainstream bands like the Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Oh Sees. In the album, which also contains a three movements suite, we can hear inspirations to psych classics like the Grateful Dead and Barrett’s Pink Floyd ot Italian prog scene such as the Balletto di Bronzo. Moreover the electro and Krautrock influences collected in the album are evident, with several references to bands reminiscent of Kraftwerk, Neu!, i JJUUJJUU and Black Midi, in addition other artists’ citations are noticeable, to Franco Battiato or the Electric Prunes.

 

Cage, father of avant garde music, is omenaged in Claudine’s Stroboscopic Phobia, which had an initial inspiration from the Byrds. Nonsense comedy and irony are staples in the piece: No One Can Hear You title reprises the name of the famous and psychedelic Cartoon Network show Adventure Time; youtubian trash has its own place too: a Dario Greggio monologue, one of YouTube Italian trash phenomenon, is sampled and placed in Human Being third movement, Cosmically Horrophied.
