Alex "Midnight"
Moschini's musical adventure begins in 1985 when he gets some classic guitar
lessons with the Maestro Valter Davi. Some months later Alex has his first
approach with the electric bass guitar that becomes inmediately his main music
instrument under the guide of the Maestro Federico
Gori at the Omnibass
Institute for which Alex is graduated. In Spring 1986 he creates his first band:
G.L.A.S. that will become an historical hard
rock band in the local Area having a large
success in the italian and abroad underground
hard rock panorama. The genre played by the
band in the beginning is glam rock oriented
with influences of bands as Kiss, Mötley
Crüe, Aerosmith. Later the genre will develop
until G.L.A.S' first split up in 1993 passing
through class metal under Dokken, Ratt, Van
Halen influences and touching the field of
sperimental hard rock under the influence
of bands as Extreme and King's X. With G.L.A.S.
from 1986 to 1993 Alex records 1 Ep ("Audax
Vincit" - G.a.s. records - 1988) 2 demo
tapes ("Speak of the heart" - 1987
and "Made in Italy" - 1989) i song
for a cd compilation ("Heartbeat city"
from "R.A.U.S.?" - Musical Box
Promotion - 1991) and 1 live-demo ("Unchain
the night" - Recorded during Chianciano
Rock - 1992). The band signs also a contract
with Musical Box Promotion talent scout agency
of Klaus Byron, at that time responsable
for the section Italian Metal on Metal Shock,
today director of Flash Europa. It's 1990.
During this period Alex cooperates also with
the pop-country band Last trip to Tulsa that
later will change its name into Ontario and
with this moniker will publish 2 cds. After
G.L.A.S.' split up Alex creates the hard
rock cover band R 'n' widows together with
the guitar player Lorenzo Tanini and the
drummer Andrea Roventini. The band plays
everywhere in Tuscany's pubs having success
and will play in altern periods until 1997
when Andrea Roventini flies to U.S.A. to
inprove his drums skill and will stay there
for 2 years. Then the band splits up. The
will of showing his talent with his own music
leads Alex to create Charisma, hard rock
band with italian lyrics together with Lorenzo
Tanini on guitar and the singer Samuele Bonardi
today with the band N.R.G. together with
Guido Melis, Time Escape's ex-bass player.
The band records a 2 tracks demo of pure
class metal and plays in a emotional live
act at Anfiteatro delle Cascine in Florence.
Then the band splits up.
After Charisma's disband Alex joins the line
up of the street metal band H.A.R.E.M., leaded
by the singer Freddy Delirio who played with
him as keyboarder into the last G.L.A.S.'
line-up and in that period played with Death
SS and recorded a cd with them. With H.A.R.E.M.
Alex records their second demo-tape in 1995
and played in several live acts. One of the
best performances is the appearence at the
festival "The long rock 'n' roll day"
in Palermo. As Alex wish to give life again
to G.L.A.S. he leaves H.A.R.E.M. in summer
of 1996. G.L.A.S. play together as a trio
for some months in several concerts and people
appreciate the old and the new songs. But
the band splits up again in autumn of 1997.
After that Alex cooperates for some months
with the funky-disco band of the keyboarder
Andrea Pagni. Then in the beginning of 1998
Alex joins the cover rock & blues band
Frame. Alex stays with Frame 3 years until
their split in spring of 2001 and records
with them a demo-cd in 1999 containing 8
rock songs (all covers) that are a journey
through the music history from 60s to early
90s remade in a modern key. In 2001 Alex
came back on the hardrock scene with the
glam hardrock band Haze with the drummer
and friend Andrea Roventini, but after the
debut demo cdr "Let me be your snake!"
and the spanish version of 2 songs the project
story has no evolution. So in the beginning
of 2002 Alex join the line up of Autmirich,
italian music cover band with the ex-G.L.A.S.
Massimo Cappelli and Sergio Leonetti and
with 2 new musicians: the singer Emanuele
Cutsodontis and the keyboarder Giacomo Birrieri.
During 2003 the band plays in various concerts
and receive many positive impressions most
of all in 2 concerts at the Pacini Theater
in Pescia. These positive impressions bring
the band recording their debut demo cdr with
4 covers and 2 original songs both written
by Alex that receive good reviews. But in
the beginning of 2004 something important
happens. The encounter with some musicians
of the swing jazz local ambient that convince
Alex in exploring musical territories never
discovered before and so with the name of
Alessandro Bastrelli he joined the line up
of Quartetto Bastrelli. At the same time
Alex gives life again to G.L.A.S. in June
2004 and the band publishes its new demo
cdr after 14 years of silence simply named
"Eighteen", a celebration of the
18th year of the band's creation. The cdr
receives many good reviews in Italy and abroad
expecially in Greece and Argentina. But the
line-up is not solid and Alex at the end
of 2006 remains alone. So in the meantime
Alex works in other projects like the new
cd of the singer Paolo
Ricci for a show
telling the story of the 70s in Italy and the reunion of Frame with Alex as a
singer. In fact Alex is having singing classes with the teacher Mary
Filizola. Meanwhile the experience with Quartetto Bastrelli is finished and Alex
can dedicate himself on G.L.A.S. The new line up presented in the spring of 2007
is the following: Samuele Bonardi (vocals) Thomas Bottaini (guitars) and
Fabrizio Tribolini (drums - ex Kaos Dimention). The new work is a full lenght cd
titled "Planet Music" and the band is searching for a contract.
