The Biography:
PROZAC+ The Biography: Prozac+
(or Prozac plus as in Italian it is pronounced Prozac Piu) the band was formed
originally in Pordenone from 4 members; GM (Gian Maria), Eva, Betta (Elisabetta),
and Simon. After only 3 concerts together they signed a contract with the legendary
Italian Independent label "Vox Pop," which published their first two 7"'s (impossible
to find) and their fantastic first album "Testa Plastica" (meaning "Plastic
Heads") on CD and limited 10" colored vinyl. In 1997 just before "Vox Pop" failed
they published the E.p. "Baby" on CD. However, shortly after Simon left the
band, Prozac+ signed a new deal with the major record label EMI which is based
in London, England. In 1998 the band under their new label released "Acido Acida"
on CD. The sales of this album were shocking and unexpected! "Acido Acida" sold
more than 150,000 copies in only 5 weeks which was 10 times more than they had
expected!! With this one album they sold more records than all other Italian
punk records ever made. However, GM was looking for something more. He was tired
of the false promises by EMI to print a vinyl version of Acido Acida so he did
it himself. He paid all expenses from his own pocket (i.e. printing and rights)
to print 1000 limited edition Picture Disks with 2 unreleased songs. The bands
albums have enjoyed much success, but what they are really all about is performing.
Their live activity is very intense and they have said many times that, "Prozac+
is a Live Project!" In fact, they have played more than 300 times in 3 years
in Italy and 6 times in Spain in March 1999 to promote "Acido Acida." While
they were touring like crazy EMI re-released "Testa Plastica" on CD with a cover
of the Violent Femmes "Gone > Daddy Gone." During 1999 they played about 20
dates throughout Europe and worked hard in the studios to put together an incredible
new album, their third. Now to the future... March 2000 they'll release their
new single and album???? Will this album be geared toward the abroad markets
and non-Italian fans???? Well, I am always informed with the latest news and
happenings with Prozac+ and I have just been told that the new album WILL be
written in ENGLISH!!!!!!!! Excited?? I know I sure am.
