883 (band)

883 (pronounced otto otto tre) was an Italian pop rock duo active from 1989 to 2003.

History

The band was formed by singers Max Pezzali and Mauro Repetto after their roles on the TV show 1,2,3, Jovanotti. They recorded some demos and forwarded them to Claudio Cecchetto, a producer who had worked on 1,2,3, Jovanotti. The group released their debut single "Non me la menare", which became a smash hit in Italy. Hanno ucciso l'uomo ragno hit number 1 on the Italian charts. Their second album, Nord sud ovest est, produced the number 1 singles "Sei un mito" and "Come mai"". Upon the release of their third album, Repetto left the group. Pezzali recruited new members and continued the group. "Un giorno così", from the 1997 album La dura legge del gol!, also went to number one in Italy. In 1998, the group released a film about themselves, entitled Jolly Blu. A greatest hits collection was issued in 1998 as Gli anni. After Grazie mille (1999) and Uno in + (2001), Pezzali himself went solo in 2003.

+/- (band)

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.
