it's time for me to tell you my story before I leave this world without glory another tragic chronicle, you can't read them in articles maybe you wrote one under your mudguard a real battle, he fights a real battle, a modern battle now it was early this morning, a good worker's never late, I was sure to be promoted, I was so sure of my seat But I could have never imagined what would happened then, I've always thought my company gave value to a cat illuminate me, don't leave your feet under your car I’ll find some peace illuminate me, don’t steer your wheel faster you go and I'll be just meat damn article eighteen, unfair dismissal, boss just whispered to me: you're fired! the world beneath my paws disappeared my foolish optimism became fear how can I feed my dears? I fuckin’ need some beer I wasted all my savings in a trusted pub, financial markets constantly withdraw our blood is there a way to make this crisis end? politicians insist on suicidal attempts illuminate me, don't shift the gear under your car I’ll find some peace illuminate me, don’t steer your wheel faster you go and I'll be just meat damn financial crisis, unfair dismissal, boss just whispered to me: you're fired! you’re fired cat I no longer hope to find a job no cat kibble, no smoked salmon, I'd settle for mouse blood I am old and starting to lose my whiskers, if I had been a siamese I would not had such problems could a cat resurrect? could a cat resurrect? could a cat resurrect? could a cat resurrect? I don’t wish anyone what life has done to me please make it soon ,don’t make it last, don’t wanna feel the pain I don’t wish anyone what life has done to me please make it soon , don’t make it last, don’t wanna feel the pain I don’t wish anyone what life has done to me please make it soon , don’t make it last, don’t wanna feel the pain

Ebola 04:03
it seems like yesterday when I saw you for the first time into your kingdom of rocks and grass have you ever thought to meet a person just like me? I'm sure one day you will thank the fate I expect you to grow, I expect you to eat, how short is the distance between the garden and the kiln do not look at me with those pleading eyes do not look at me with those pleading eyes bitter tears are falling down nobody knows how much it costs I could eat you now, but I'll wait for the sauce you made the road in the fence between the leaves and bushes hiding in a cold place to avoid the scorching heat you wondered how it would be to live in the city and I've offered you my purest feelings your slow steps turn on my appetite I'm so damn curious to see how you are inside I expect you to grow, i expect you to eat, how short the distance between the garden and the pan not look at me with those pleading eyes do not look at me with those pleading eyes bitter tears are falling down nobody knows how much it costs I could eat you now, but I'll wait for the sauce

Sneakers 03:49
I was struck by lightnings several times, not one of them killed me my lucky charm has kept me out from my danger, my sneakers are my guardian angels to guard the parks is not something for everyone, if bears get angry you must be ready to run I have another type of sword of damocles mainly ‘cause I have a magnet for tragedies for seven times my ranger's hat has been burned for seven times I challenged death by beating bad luck more than once I hoped not to be returned, you ignore me for fear of being struck I feel immortal, lightnings cannot hurt me, the only fatal tear is in my spirit hit me with no fear, Jupiter, I‘ve got my sneakers fasten tight I have another type of sword of damocles mainly ‘cause I have a magnet for tragedies for seven times my ranger's hat has been burned (for seven times, for seven times) for seven times I challenged death by beating bad luck (for seven times, for seven times) It’s no more funny to sleep with my sneakers, I even have to wash myself wearing those shoes I’ve lost my friends and all my passions (lost my friends), to be immortal it’s not so cool another heartbreak, women fear to be ignited I’m tired and alone, soon my shoes will be untied Jupiter, now I’m waiting for your light

Quendo 05:29
living our lives avoiding madness, scared of its forms and its pure non-sense are we forced to step there once again? (are we forced to step here once again) that place is completely out of mind don’t let your soul be wasted by that crowd of fools and drunken ghosts of men (crowd of fools and drunken ghosts of men) standing off that bad bad world, hoping for some savior’s come will you really drink that evil blood? be the builder of your fate, mask your wish of naked sins and you will save your flesh for once again I see the demon eyes of fire, death is close now I see the demon eyes of fire, death is close I think it is much better if you don’t take a step inside choose another way or you’ll regret to be alive I think it is much better if you don’t take a step inside choose another way or you’ll regret to be alive can’t you feel the vibe of its two clogs it’s a sign of death and perdition I see the demon eyes of fire, death is close now I see the demon eyes of fire, death is close now it’s too late, I’ve taken that poisoned step, I was blinded by lust, did not expect this a door to hell, a highway to nowhere Charon’s boat is not far from here Quendo is real

Treesome 07:07
the sun shines, just woke up from my bed, another strange feeling fills my thoughts am I mad am I going crazy or am I just too stressed an undefined desire is whispering exotic lips that are poisoning my dreams as I try to clean up my mind and chase them away in my onyric dimension I can see an unending space kissed by emerald carpets, where rise a lot of trees the smell of spring surrounds my senses ,turns me on for something that I don’t know feel alive or you’ll be sad, time it’s just too (short) free your mind with no regrets dreams aren’t worth so it’s quite clear that I’m excited ‘cause of the greenwood I’ve never been there, never had a green thumb, I’ve never loved gardening nature what have you done to me? am I falling in love with an oak? (there must be an explanation, I’m not insane, it’s not my brain, I’m not mad) the world as I know is changed suddenly, it’s not my fantasy maybe my abstinence drives me crazy, but I say maybe feel alive or you’ll be sad, time it’s just too (short) free your mind with no regrets dreams aren’t worth trees are just plants why you’re wet? can’t you see that? seize the night above your head, dreams aren’t worth I’ve found a reason, it seemed too weird for me forget that treesome, it’s another type of sin I’ve spent too much time thinking ‘bout my mood it’s was not a tree, neither a wood my only obsession is to lie with a whore

about

"The album that Kezia delivers under the title 'The Dirty Affair' does have more charm than 'just another Italian prog metal band’. The band, formed by three friends Perlorenzo Molinari, Antonio Manenti and Albarto Armanini, call the style ‘prop-metal '. A combination of prog and pop with metal in it. It sounds poorly conceived but that interpretation fits the cargo indeed. There's a kind of freshness into the mix that surprises. Yes, it's really complex but it does not get lost, the voice of Molinari keeps you on your toes and that's just well done. The band also comes up with original titles, topics and lyrics and all together I can wholeheartedly recommend this album to the proggers who are not afraid of some lighter moments in their music"

released May 5, 2015

Pierlorenzo Molinari, Antonio Manenti, Alberto Armanini. Singer, guitar player and keyboardist, friends since forever but separated by years of musical collaborations, projects and bands. In September 2013, on a glorious Monday, just like the poles of a magnet pushed by its attraction, they decide to put a stop to the past, full of uninspiring projects, and write together the first chapter of a new story: Kezia.

The fusion of three such different souls creates an instinctive music, a pastiche of influences, feelings, scents. Rock, progressive, swing, soul, electro and pop. In two words: prop-metal. The structure is prog, expanding its melodic variations with pop freshness.

On November 2014 Kezia achieve “The Dirty Affair”, a 8-track EP released on 05.05.2015 with Logic (Il) Logic record and Andromeda Distribuzioni Discografiche. All the songs are composed by Pierlorenzo, Antonio and Alberto; during the recording session, drummer Matteo Vigani and bass player Andrea Piovani contribute to the work. Album is produced by the band itself, to avoid external contaminations, and the recording process took place at the studio of Gianbattista Manenti (Love Might Kill) for the vocals and at Studio 57 of Riccardo Frigoni for the rest of recordings and for the final mixing. This process took almost a year, to fully embrace every shade of Kezia’s music.

The musical inspirations are numerous and so heterogeneous, from the rock of Queen and Deep Purple to the metal of Protest The Hero and Dream Theater, through the genius of Faith No More, Frank Zappa, Ylvis and the taste of Toto. The project is a huge container that mixes so many different influences in a unique, unpredictable sound.

Themes they deal with are very contemporary, surreal and sometimes even embarrassing and music goes hand in hand with stories told by the lyrics; the listener will first be stunned by the constant changes in melody and timing but later he will probably be seduced by this rainbow of emotions. Most of the lyrics may seem insane and meaningless, but often hides a deep and introspective side that analyzes the human being and the dynamics surrounding it.

On 2015, with Michele Longhena on drums and Daniele Longhena on bass, Kezia complete the line-up and start working on new songs, while promoting the EP through several live shows, which is considered by the band as the main way to fully understand Kezia’s idea of music. The idea for the next album is to evolve the sound content in "The Dirty Affair" into something more mature, without straying the immediacy which characterizes their brand.

The long-term goal is to spread as much as possible their music, trying to involve foreign listeners and organize a tour outside of Italy to meet new people to share the incredible passion for music.
