special guests Zombi. Tickets are $25. All ages.]
Event preview by Bob Ignizio
It's not often that we here at The
Cleveland Movie Blog do a concert preview. In fact, I'm pretty sure
this is the first time. It also isn't very often that soundtrack
specialists Goblin play the United States, let alone Cleveland. In
fact, when Goblin takes the stage at the Beachland Ballroom on
Thursday December 5th, it will be their Cleveland debut.
Goblin got their start in Italy in 1972
under the name Cherry Five. They released one self titled album worth
of prog rock before being called in to rewrite and perform the
soundtrack to Dario Argento's 1975 film DEEP RED,
at which point they changed their name to Goblin. They did one more
prog rock album, 1976's ROLLER,
before collaborating with Argento again on the soundtrack to 1977's
SUSPIRIA. From then
on, the band would record numerous soundtracks for horror and
crime films, including George A. Romero's zombie classic DAWN
OF THE DEAD, aka ZOMBI
in European markests.
The
band's line-up has shifted frequently over the years, so the recent
departure of original keyboad player Claudio Simonetti is hardly
shocking. The current incarnation of Goblin includes original members
Massimo Morante on guitar and Fabio Pignatelli on bass, as well as
long serving drummer Agostino Marangolo and keyboard player Maurizio
Guarini. They are joined by Adian Zammit on keyboards.
