Any Dirty Party
You Hate Me
Any Dirty Party are a rock duo based in Rome, formed in the summer of 2013 by two guys who met at a party where they discovered they shared the same lady. The band consists of Renato Votto (vocals and guitar) and Alessio Ragusa (drums). Singer and guitarist Renato was introduced to music at an early age by his grandfather, a carpenter and church pipe organ player. Renato used to stare at his grandfather's black oxford shoes pushing on the organ pedalboard, so the old man built and gave him a bass guitar. Renato still treasures that gift and he has also the mania to wear only black shoes. Drummer Alessio received a guitar from his father but he realized that wasnt his passion when he found himself using pencils as drum sticks on the school desk whilst the music teacher talked about Scott Joplin ragtime. His mother, in order to calm down her son, decided to buy him some great big drums. The boy was so curious about the instrument that, when older, he moved between the US and Latin America to learn about the spare blues drumming and caribbean rhythms. Before joining Any Dirty Party, both members played in several bands influenced by rock and roll, blues and punk music.
