Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti

Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti (Three happy dead guys, often shortened into TARM) are a rock band formed in 1994 in Pordenone, Italy.
The trio (Davide Toffolo, Enrico Molteni and Luca Masseroni) which has released several albums, has decided not to give its image to the media and they only imagine themselves in Toffolos’s drawings, which is an established comic-drawer. They also decided to hide their faces behind skull-masks, which have now become the symbol of the imaginary evoked by lyrics and live shows as well.
The band is independent since 2000, recording under the label La Tempesta Dischi, which is the same label of Giorgio Canali and Moltheni.
Davide Toffolo started to play at the end of the eighties, when Pordenone, thanks to the near US military post, became one of the Italian capitals of punk-rock. There, a local movement of young musicians called The great complotto, give birth to a lot of punk-rock groups, most of them of short life. One of these band was Futuritmi, which featured, beyond Toffolo himself, Gian Maria Accusani, current leader of Prozac + band.
The quite famous slogan of the band is Bacini & rock’n roll!: Kisses & rock’n’roll!
