The band that I really love and enjoy to listen to is called Eiffel 65. They are an Italian techno band and pop band. When I listen to this music, it makes me pumped up and excited because it’s not music that brings you down or depressed. MY favorite song from the group is called “Lucky (Lucky in my life)”. It’s not music that has been destroyed by rappers that can’t sing, or teens that think they can sing but are not quite old enough. I do like to listen to other music as well but this group is what sticks out of my head when I think of the word music. Also, it’s a group that is popular but not enough to be totally remembered like AC/DC or Led Zeppelin.
The history of Eiffel 65 is rather interesting. The band consists of mainly three people with the help of some people once and a while. The three main band members are the lead singer: Jeffrey Jey, Keyboardist: Maurizio Lobina, and the DJ: Gabriele Ponte. The group released its first album called “Europop” in 1999 and it became a huge hit in the U.S. in 2000. There was one song that truly made the band famous really fast, it’s called “I’m Blue”. The song was also there first music video. So many people loved and wanted the song that they started to pick up the CD as soon as they could. After people listen to the CD, two other songs became extremely popular. The first one was “Too Much of Heaven” then it was “Move Your Body”. A few years later they came out with a new album that was less known, it was called “Contact”.
When 2005 came around the DJ decided he wanted to go solo and make his own music. The other two members were sad when he chose to do what he did but that didn’t stop them from making music. The two made a new band called Bloom 06. I wasn’t too happy about this but there was nothing anyone could do. I like Bloom 06 but it wasn’t the same as Eiffel 65. So, a few years, 2010 came. I became extreme happy about what happened in June of 2010. The old DJ came back and the group Eiffel 65 is back together again. In the end I just love this group. Their music is really good if you love techno and like to have a upbeat music group.
