Pordenone: the story of a great conspiracy
If the Italian label more interesting, The Tempest Discs - that for some years now flooding the market, our feeble record of beautiful new and shiny - is based in Pordenone, there is a reason.
And that looks like a nice town Friulian swinging London. If this is not even remotely like Bologna and Genoa has always been a free port with wonderful music and poetry. No, Pordenone is the image just like you, a town a bit 'lost and isolated, so high compared to the Italian geography that you must take to cross their go.
But let's start from the beginning, and the principle in this case are the 60's. The story goes that, the many American soldiers stationed in Aviano, a stone's throw from Pordenone, are responsible for a certain sensitivity to a Pordenone sound rather far from the melody of Italic invoice. In particular were the American military radio, that young people listened to Friuli with ease, to have played a crucial role in the spread of this infection.
What will be born in the mid-70s, and that goes under the name The Great Conspiracy , it may paradoxically be attributed to this military presence. Paradoxically, because The Great Conspiracy will be a varied and diverse movement that will make the town of Friuli " the outpost in northeastern cultural freak," to quote the famous magazine Re Nudo directed by Andrea Valcarenghi.
And even in this story will be the basic sound aesthetic that the youth of Pordenone borrow from overseas: the punk and new wave in the first place. Indeed, there are those who clearly is more restless than others, and so decided to visit the crime scene - London - to smell the spirit and quell'at 
tude so shocking and far from the music of their fathers, then bring everything at home. Scum as the famous Tampax and the equally legendary HitlersS start at a time of Albion to bribe and be bribed. Yeah, because if Jam sang In The City, it was "in the city" par excellence that you have to go in order to truly understand a phenomenon first to be a part. No coincidence that the two bands mentioned above held a legendary concert in Portobello Road in 1979 after recording a split with Italy in that most define the first self-produced punk album in the history of our country.
Of course, one can not imagine the punk movement of Pordenone in isolation from the urban context. The musical phenomenon, and not only that goes under the name Great plot, and the rule of Naon, named after the ancient city, Portum Naonis. And the movement that took shape over the years, while rejecting everything and everyone, is intimately linked to the host city: a middle-class city, of course, but the band does not want to turn, as well as the rest do not want to turn the world, because their positions are not political. In fact, those bands are not the expression of working class or the elite student, but bored boys collect that have a strong intolerance against a suffocating province where nothing ever happens. And as an antidote to boredom and mediocrity can be bourgeois more effective than punk?
to propagate their ideas are Naonian rely on fanzines - crude, mimeographed on their own, sometimes hand-written - they know that an incredible spread easily beyond the city limits and county. The Young Naonian , Spill On, PN Rock Roll are just some of this phenomenon in the phenomenon, which will affect much more than you might think the history of music journalism in Italy. 
course, all the scenes that you meet have a physical location of choice, and this is the Naonian Tequila, a local who passed virtually all the bands of the Great Conspiracy, who chose as the vehicle of choice is a split in the vinyl that is shared among multiple groups. Famous and rare (and some notable quotes today), these discs are true milestones of the beautiful country of self: A Awake , Wave 400, iV3SCR, Pordenone Taranto, are some of these titles, and bands like Danxia , Sexy Angels , Fhedolts , Futuritmi (in which militated those who are members of the Prozac and Dropkick Murphys) are the names of leading a movement that has in some ways unbelievable.
Yes, because, think about it, Pordenone is really the outskirts of the suburbs, and if this story was able to start from a city, then it is true that certain music has no boundaries. Perhaps those who complain wearily in their city, provincial life and its everyday life, and dreams of emigrating to the metropolis, of course there will find bright lights and new ideas, should bear this in mind.
