Short history:
Thanks to an idea of Massimo Pasca (Papa Massi), well known DJ and MC in the Jonic Coast of Salento, borns the Working Vibes.
It was 2001 and Papa Massi, in Pisa to attend university, decided together with his percussionist friend Vincenzo Tumino, a student from Sicily, to form the band. They began to seek musicians: Francesco Castelli on bass and Tommaso Santucci on drums, from Pisa, joined the band.
The band starts to play in a little room in Tommaso house, where the guys plays actually, and trying various guitarists until Giovanni Bracci, from Pisa, joined the band.
Quickly also Francesco Matteoni, singer and Federico Barbaro, keyboardist, got in from Lucca.
So it borns the first "Working Vibes" line up. Now there is a new percussionist instead of Vincenzo Tumino. His name's Giancarlo Di Vanni, from Florence and met with the band in May 2004.
