Max Pezzali's autobiography reissued after Sky series success
Magazzini Salani has republished 'I cowboy non mollano mai', the autobiography of Max Pezzali, twelve years after its original release. The book had been nearly impossible to find for years. Renewed interest was sparked by sold-out stadium concerts and the Sky television series 'Hanno ucciso l’Uomo Ragno', which tells the story of Pezzali's band 883. The autobiography covers Pezzali's life from childhood through his first twenty years of career, including his meeting with Mauro Repetto after failing his third year of high school, Repetto's departure that led to hits like 'Gli Anni' and 'La Dura Legge del Gol', and the inspiration from a cousin's illness that influenced the song 'L’universo tranne noi'. The book also details the duo's early influences from hip hop, their first sampler, and their ability to capture 1990s youth culture in music.
