MIRANDA is a band based in Florence, italy, since 1999.
During the several years of activity they've run different musical directions. Miranda's artistic vision has been described "radical and broadminded, disgregated and oblique, their attitude mocking and alienated" (blowup magazine 2006).
They've released 2 albums on fromScratch (inside the whale, 2003, and rectal exploration 2006) and a split cd with the canadian band Creeping Nobodies. Defined "one of the most interesting italian underground bands" (rumore magazine, nov. '07) they're becoming a cult band of the no wave scene, thanks to their incendiary shows and to their personal and uncompromising research constantly carried on..
The 3rd album, growing heads above the roof (released on 2009 may for fromSCRATCH/audioglobe, rereleased on 2011 july for fromscratch/mandai), adds synthetic and sampled sounds and it's considered the best Miranda's album (blow up mag). The sound is dry, essential and immediate (rumore mag.)
The 4th album "asylum: brain check after dinner" is released on feb. 2013 (fromscratch/audioglobe)
