about

Cortona naît dans les caniveaux mal famés de Lyon en 2002 tel un enfant prématuré armé jusqu’aux
dents. Le groupe alimente ses compos des écumes du punk révolté 77 et oriente la frappe dans un registre
plus moderne, à l’énergie nihiliste de son époque. La formation libère une énergie détonante sur scène et
offre une prestation débridée. En équilibre sur une base rythmique solide, les riffs de Cortona charment les
besoins primaires des auditeurs en mal d’excitation.
Après 1 album et 2 EP, Cortona sort « THE BEAT IST BILLIG » en avril 2011 chez Casbah Records
en format vinyle pour redonner une voix à son gospel de la clarté dans la confusion, de la folie urbaine et du
fun. Cortona c'est aussi et surtout 150 concerts en France, Allemagne, Espagne, Portugal, Belgique et Pays-
Bas et des premières parties prestigieuses (THE BUZZCOCKS, THE DICKIES, THE TOY DOLLS,
UNCOMMONMENFROMMARS, WAYNE BARRETT AND THE BULLDOGS (FROM SLAUGHTER AND THE
DOGS), 2nd DISTRICT, POWERSOLO, WASHINGTON DEAD CATS, THE SHOCKS, THE HATEPINKS,
NEUROTIC SWINGERS, THE HOLY CURSE, KING AUTOMATIC, THE ASHTONES, PASCAL BRIGGS,
FLYING OVER, MODERN PETS et bien d'autres...)
Cortona was born in the dirty gutters of Lyon in 2002 like a premature child armed to teeth. The band feeds
its hits with the froth of the famous rebellious 77’ Punk and adjusts the kick towards modern sounds and
nihilist determination. On stage, the band releases an explosive energy for an unbridled performance. The
guitar riffs balance on a solid rhythmic basis and fill the lack of excitation of the audience and the needs for
primitive sensations. After one album and two Eps, it is now time for a sequel. Cortona releases a brand new
EP vinyl on Casbah Records: “The Beat ist Billig” out on April 2011. Once again, the band uses its loud voice
to express their gospel of urban craziness, fun, and clarity in absolute commotion.
Cortona is also and above all: 150 gigs in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and
Netherlands, opening for prestigious bands (THE BUZZCOCKS, THE DICKIES, THE TOY DOLLS,
UNCOMMONMENFROMMARS, WAYNE BARRETT AND THE BULLDOGS (FROM SLAUGHTER AND
THE DOGS), 2nd DISTRICT, POWERSOLO, WASHINGTON DEAD CATS, THE SHOCKS, THE
HATEPINKS, NEUROTIC SWINGERS, THE HOLY CURSE, KING AUTOMATIC, THE ASHTONES, PASCAL
BRIGGS, FLYING OVER, MODERN PETS and many more…).
