With the directness of the bus line they are named after, Linea 77 rocketed from their birthplace of Venaria (Torino) to become Italy's premier rock band, conquering not just Italy but all of Europe and indeed, practically the whole world along the way. Based on the strength of their supremely dynamic live show the band playing over 250 shows all over the Europe, including some of the biggest festivals both in Italy.
The buzz around the band led to a featured slot at MTV Day 2003 in Bologna, where it was generally acknowledged that they blew the other bands off the stage. The band also notched up a nomination for Best Italian Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards in October 2004, confirming their position as best-loved indie band in Italy.
After a summer 2005 tour in which the band will particularly focus on the southern part of Italy, September sees the release of "Available for Propaganda." Album number four was recorded at Paramount and Ameraycan Studios in Los Angeles, studios famous for hosting Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Cypress Hill, and Tool to name just a very few. This time the band worked with producer Dave Dominguez.
