THE WATCH "YELLOW show 2012"

Thursday, 17 Nov 2011





From February 2012 we'll be heading out from Italy and right across Europe with our brand new "Yellow Show" which will feature the usual mix of Genesis classics and our very own material.

This particular show will focus on 1971's Nursery Cryme in its entirety with the addition of some rarely played material from 1976, which by all reckonings was a pretty terrific year for Genesis.

The Watch will try and shake the formula up a bit this time by playing post Gabriel era Genesis with the some tracks from the wonderful Wind and Wuthering album and a couple from A Trick of The Tail.

Ever wonder what the Genesis songs would have sounded like had Peter not left the band way back then? Simone's unique "gabrielesque" voice will let you discover it, so wonder no more..

What's more the instrumentation will be totally early '70s and the sound is sure to be different but we guess there's only one way of knowing what it will sound like...

All of this with highlights from the band's smash hit last albums from Vacuum to Timeless.This is one show no one will want to miss!!!

The Watch back to gigs and more...

Friday, 02 Sep 2011


Hi everybody,
and thanks for getting in touch so frequently, asking for more every time...
we had a great summer, we had rest and had the chance to work on some logistic matters, among which buying a new van for the band... we know the red german mercedes will miss us so much.. hehe.. but this time a good mechanic wasn't enough..

We are looking forward to being on the road again, in Italy in the wonderful Veneto region and then on the other side of the ocean, USA and Canada !!
As you can see after the USA-Canada tour we will be over Europe again for the very last performances of the "Green show" and then we will quit it, so come to see our last concerts ..

A big ciao and hope to meet you soon !

The Watch - in the middle of the tour

Tuesday, 10 May 2011



Hi everybody,

a long time since the last update of this blog... Facebook fault ! hehehe... but it's nice to be here just to tell you how much we're enjoying this tour ... all the gigs are great and it's really a great experience to hear and read all the feedbacks you are leaving... so please don't stop hehe... great reward for us.

We're on the verge of playing in Goteborg on friday and Tallin and saturday, a quick return back home and then England again.. and then France and Spain !! One of the very first time in Spain... that's great.

But tomorrow, before we leave we'll have a quick lunch with one of our all time heroes: Mr Steve Hackett. Simone and Giorgio will lead him to a nice restaurant and they will have food all together... Steve is such a nice and gentle man.. Steve will then perform in Milan a full band concert.

Giorgio has also taken part to John Hackett and Nick Magnus new album, another great experience for him !

So hope to meet you on the road, we'll have already great news about summer with some gigs in Italy and in autumn the band will hit USA and Canada again ! But will tell you more later..

thanks a lot!
Cheers
The Watch
