Pale Blue Dot

Born as a trio between Bologna and Ferrara in 2015, Pale Blue Dot consolidate the current line-up in 2018, with members from the bands Zeder and Staré Město: Tommaso Lampronti (vocals and guitars), Enrico Bongiovanni (guitars), Cosimo Tanzarella (bass) and Francesco D'Astore (drums). The band's imagery is psychedelic and cosmic: the name Pale Blue Dot, "pale blue dot", is inspired by the expression coined by astronomer Carl Sagan to describe the famous image of the Earth taken by the Voyager 1 probe in 1990, six billion kilometers away. A quote from Sagan himself closes the band's debut single, Destruction or Resurrection, released in December 2022 and accompanied by a totally self-produced animation video, made frame by frame with the help of the very first artificial intelligence applications. For the second single, Green Fairy Tale, director Alessandro Fusto made a video clip shot between an abandoned mountain village and modern city neighborhoods, released in November 2023. The band's recent live activities include participation in an event at the Meeting degli Indipendenti in Faenza and opening for a date for the New Candys. Anticipated by the single For the Beauty of Miranda, the album (h)eart(h) is released on June 6, 2025, seven songs that move in the territories between psychedelia and shoegaze, with lyrics in English.
