Not only Friuli Venezia Giulia had given birth to interesting bands but the labels who released their records are based in the region as well. One of them is Knifeville Records (among their bands I had already mentioned Man on Wire but there are many other good ones and I think at the moment my favourite is Arnoux, check out his latest ep “Makes Wonders”) and they are going to celebrate their tenth anniversary soon.
Knifeville is a small label run by some active locals that love independent music and besides releasing records they promote live shows of Italian and international artists. Their peculiar name is not just a tough sounding random choice but it has a real connotation: this record label is based in a quite small town named Maniago which is well-known in the world for producing the best knives ever, so there you go, one plus one equals two… Then you must have already imagined that all the records released by Knifeville are from Maniago (or not so far…) based bands and despite what one would probably think of such a small area, I have to say it is a very prolific music scene that allowed this record label to put out some very nice records during the last ten years.
