Concocted with the darkest deviant rock'n'roll ethos and distinctive melodic distortions, New Candys have established themselves as one of the most compelling bands to emerge from Italy in recent years. Founded by songwriter and singer-guitarist Fernando Nuti alongside bassist and synth player Dario Lucchesi, the lineup is completed by Emanuele Zanardo on lead guitar and backing vocals and Francesco Giacomin on drums and sampler. Signed to the cult record label Fuzz Club, the band is recognized for its unfiltered artistic approach and versatility, seamlessly blending aggressive, gritty sounds with dreamy, introspective tones. The symbolism of their hometown, Venezia, often permeates their music, which explores surreal and sometimes cryptic themes. New Candys' live shows have gained them a reputation as a must-see act, growing a fanbase through extensive touring across Europe, North America and Australia. Festival appearances include SXSW, Treefort Fest, Psycho Las Vegas, Levitation France, Fuzz Club Festival and Liverpool Psych Fest, as well as headlining the Sydney and Melbourne Psych Fests and recording live sessions for KEXP and Jam In The Van. They’ve shared the stage with icons like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols and The Black Angels, performing at historic venues such as the Olympia Hall in Paris, The Roundhouse in London and Huxleys Neue Welt in Berlin. Iggy Pop described them as "kinky", and their songs have been featured in episodes of Shameless.
