Art Fleury

Band, 1978-1983 IT, Province of Brescia
Electronic and Rock
A.k.a. Ay Ken

Though their record debut came in the new wave era, Art Fleury from Brescia can now be considered much closer to some avantgarde groups of the progressive era than anything else released in Italy in 1980. The beginnings of the group are from the mid 70's, when AMG (from the initials of the group members), still in their teens, had the chance of playing before Area at Milan's Parco Lambro Festival in 1976, and then opening some Italian dates of Henry Cow, thanks to their collaboration with Cooperativa L'Orchestra. The name Art Fleury was adopted around 1977, but their first record came out only in 1980, through Italian Records, a small label from Bologna aimed at promoting new wave groups.
