# About me
Showdown Boulevard is a brand new dynamic project in the Italian sleaze, rock n’ roll scene created by key former members of important past bands such as A-Pon74, Warnipples, Jayhawks.The musicians involved, Andy Pontremoli, Stevie Anders and Manguss, got together in early months of 2012 to create their own sound as they did in their previous bands. Andy and Stevie shared common ground in A-Pon74 in 2011 and some of the tracks already written in that period are now shining with the new energy and vibe that Showdown Boulevard are able to create.
The band has been recording its first self produced CD "Cigarettes & Gasoline" keeping an open door for collaborations regarding production, distribution and promotion.

He moved to Tuscany in 2005 where he's been a member of bands like Superhoffmann and Five Roses. With this band he has played dozens of live gigs throughout Italy. Inspired by classic hard&heavy bass players like Steve Harris, he has created his own style inspired by musicians such as Nikki Sixx, Rachel Bolan and Duff McKagan.
