The band began their adventures in 2008 evolving from a group of friends recording folk songs on a mountaintop house in the Italian Alps, into a collective that is an essential presence internationally in the psychedelic folk scene. 2 EPs and 2 full-length albums, the organization of a summer psych festival and more than 200 concerts later, the collective is taking their ebullient performance to the main European summer stages.
In April 2013 they recorded their first album “Ruvain” (Vaggiamal/Audioglobe), with some songs produces and recorded analogically on 8 tracks by Marco Fasolo (Jennifer Gentle) and some others recorded live by the band itself in their studio on the mountains, during long nocturnal jam sessions.
“Ruvain”, a word that in an ancient language called “cimbro” means “to make noise”, was acclaimed by critic and won the PIMI price for the best self-produced album, at MEI, the meeting of Italian independent labels, and allowed them to play for a year and a half with no breaks. Highlights of this tour were several international festivals like Primavera Sound 2014 in Barcelona, Eurosonic in Groningen (NL), Reeperbahn and Fusion Festival in Germany.
The music of C+C=Maxigross was often described as psychedelic folk, a word that good defines their beginnings, when the sound was mainly acoustic and enriched by vocal harmonies and simple arrangements, like traditional songs from the mountains. Now that C+C=Maxigross became a powerful live band, the electric part turned fundamental also during the composition process and the new songs are more reminiscent of Grateful Dead and Crazy Horse, and always devoted to the craziness of Os Mutantes.
