Both Italian bands are on tour right, if you live in Italy or Austria this shows can´t be missed.
Read more about each band below and in the end appears the tour dates.
Valerian Swing are an instrumental band with occasional vocals, always driven by an eclectic and experimental musical vision.
In the last few years they have toured multiple countries, honing an extraordinarily dynamic, frenetic, and highly musical brand of sonic madness to a signature level that is uniquely its own.
Their latest release "A Sailor Lost Around The Earth" (the first as instrumental trio) came out on spring 2011. The album was recorded and produced by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, Botch, Russian Circles) at Red Room in Seattle, WA. The album has been released worldwide by US label Magic Bullet Records (This Will Destroy You, Cave In, Integrity, Lymbyc Systym) that says:
"It took all of 3 minutes tops for Magic Bullet Records to know that they simply must put the album out and share this great band with anyone willing to listen."
Guest appearance in their new record is the internationally acclaimed trombonist Gianluca Petrella.
SubSuburban Recording Company take care of the vinyl release which included a 7” with special remixes from Simon Scott (former Slowdive) and Isan. After the release the band started a never ending tour. Almost 120 shows in one year. Three european tours, and one US tour on march 2012 including the appearance at SXSW festival in Austin,TX.
And also played as support act for Russian Circles, Boris, This Town Needs Guns, Tera Melos and much more.

Ornaments is the perfect representation of the common passion for music of a group of friends. Years of attending shows, listening to lps, entire days closed up in a rehearsal room, many kilometers on the road with a bunch of cds piled up on the dashboard. Finally these people felt something had to be given back, they had to put together the mysterious energy of all the musical influences and create something new and completely free from the typical rock stereotype. At the same time forming a band was the natural progression in keeping a close friendship going and expressing a unique mutual feeling. Since early winter in 2003 until this day, ORNAMENTS represents a chance to build a solid construction of ideas and free form experimentation that can satisfy alla members of the band. ORNAMENTS wants to consider itself as an open project that can freely interact with different artistic figures such as Multimedial and Visual Artists and Soundtrack creators. The first self-titled EP (2004) is made up of 4 instrumental tracks. Long silent atmospheric moments are ruptured by huge brutal explosions of sound. Dark atmospheres create even more obscure visions.
The song structures mix the sharp edges and tight mechanical feeling of a heavy brutal sound with a more harmonic post-rock dreaminess. Tension just keeps building up during the whole listening experience of these 4 tracks. A purifying moment just seems around the corner but it just never actually comes, the music keeps on growing in an infinite spiral.
2011
5 years later ,Ornaments feels the need to come back together and interact deep within to commmunicate what had been sealed in each of them for too long, so as to bring to completion a full album.
