Biography

The four founding members, all born in Milan or its metropolitan area, are Francesco Sarcina (guitar and vocals), Stefano Verderi (guitar and keyboards), Marco Castellani (bass), and Alessandro Deidda (drums). After many years spent playing in clubs around Milan, the group signed with BMG and debuted with the single Dedicato a te, which topped the Italian charts and became one of 2003 best-selling singles. Later in the same year they published their first album, 'Le Vibrazioni', whose sales exceeded 300,000 copies and from which the singles In una notte d'estate, Vieni da me, Sono più sereno and ...E se ne va were extracted. {{cite web |title=Le Vibrazioni {{!}} Rolling Stone Italia |url=https://www.rollingstone.it/artista/le-vibrazioni/#:~:text=Le%20Vibrazioni%20sono%20una%20band,omonimo%20uscito%20nello%20stesso%20anno. |website=Rolling Stone Italia |access-date=11 April 2025 |language=it-IT}}...E se ne va would later be included in the soundtrack of Luca Lucini's film Tre metri sopra il cielo (2004).{{cite web |title=La colonna sonora di Tre metri sopra il cielo |url=https://movieplayer.it/articoli/la-colonna-sonora-di-tre-metri-sopra-il-cielo_4779/ |website=Movieplayer.it |access-date=11 April 2025 |language=it}} The music video for Dedicato a te was subsequently spoofed by Elio e le Storie Tese in their song Shpalman.{{cite web |title=Quando la parodia è perfetta. “Shpalman” degli Elio e le storie tese |url=https://www.sentireascoltare.com/video/quando-la-parodia-e-perfetta-shpalman-degli-elio-e-le-storie-tese/ |website=SENTIREASCOLTARE |access-date=11 April 2025 |language=it-IT}} In 2008 Emanuele Gardossi replaced Marco Castellani on bass.
