Both these albums are what won this band a place in the RIO genre. The following 'Macchina Maccheronica' (1980) is even a more complex and continues in the pathway of its predecessor. It was to be only in their 6th album, 'L'apprendista' from 1977, that the RIO sound would reach its climax. In their 4th album, 'Un biglietto del tram' from 1975 the complexity and experimentalism start to show. This has been the case in their first 3 albums, 'Le idee di oggi per la musica di domani' (1969), 'L'unità' (1972) and 'Guarda giù dalla pianura' (1974). STORMY SIX began its life in the mid 60's as a folk group with psych influences and left wing tendencies, composing protest songs. However, as opposed to the other bands appearing with them, they did not start out their musical career as a RIO sounding band. STORMY SIX from Milan, Italy was one of the original bands in the RIO movement and appeared in the famous on March 12th 1978 in the New London Theatre in London.
Founded in Milan in 1965, they performed and recorded until 1983.
