Career
The group formed in 1973 as a ribald side project of four established musicians, composer and producer Giancarlo Bigazzi, producer Alfredo Cerruti, lyricist Daniele Pace and songwriter Totò Savio. Characterized by adult themes, references to sex, political incorrectness, and vulgarity, in spite of no live activity and radio ostracism, they got an immediate commercial success. In 1984 they wrote and starred in the low budget comedy Arrapaho, loosely inspired by their album with the same name, which was a surprise hit at box office and achieved some cult status. The group disbanded in 1994, following their last album Cambiamento. In 2012 it was released Gli Squallor, a documentary about the story of the group.
