About this user
Cactus formed in Roma at the end of 2000. After a couple of demos (Nervous and Cactus on Mars) , Cactus releases the 7 Music For Haters Vol.5 (Haterecords 2004, vinyl ltd. edition). Maximumrocknroll says: "Great stuff here - Mid period Fall-sounding art-punk from Italy. Three songs of distorto-damaged guitar over repetitive rhythms, punctuated by distracted, detached vocals. You'll dig it."
In 2006, Haterecords is proud to release CACTUS first album: 12 songs of intense garage-punk-wave, available on CD, black vinyl and ltd ed. transparent green vinyl. Daniela Motorama plays guitar and sing on five tracks. The CD includes 3 bonus tracks from the earlier 7" Music For Haters Vol.5. "Apparently this is the Pope's favorite new band as well as mine" (SD - Maximumrocknroll).
In 2008 Cheb Samir (Normal, Cheb Samir & the Black Souls of Leviathan, Le Sport) and Daniela Motorama join the band, infecting the sound of Cactus with some vintage synths, theremin and drum-machines.
CACTUS played with Lost Sounds, Fuzztones, The Kills, Yumi Yumi, Sons of Cyrus, Motorama, Heavy Trash (Jon Spencer + Matt Verta-Ray), Metal Urban, Human Eye, Lorena and the Bobbits, TV Buddhas...
