Simonetti and Guarini live at the "Shock Stock 2012".



The 14th of april Guarini and Simonetti have shook the foundations of the Rum Runners, during a special concert that was part of the convention 'Shock Stock 2012' in London, Ontario. The duo was supported by Chris Gartner and Bob Scott, the expert musicians that play with Guarini in the (occasional) live performances on the Canadian soil (the keyboardist, wisely, moved from Italy to Canada more than a decade ago ), so, to be pedantic, was an exhibition of Orco Muto featuring Simonetti!
The online version of Fangoria announced for that night even a live performance of a suite from 'Dracula 3D' by Simonetti and some songs from Fulci/Frizzi films by Guarini, but the concert focused on the Goblin / Simonetti repertoire with this set list:
L’alba dei morti viventi, Mad puppet, Dr. Frankenstein, Zombi, Simonetti classical solo, Phenomena (guest Gina Ferrugia), Profondo rosso, Tenebre. Encores: Demons, Halloween, Opera, Tubular Bells (the last one improvised by Simonetti but well played by the band).
Audience happily shocked, crowded room and very positive comments.
The performance of Joanna Angel, the tattooed porno actress who was supposed to introduce the performance of Simonetti and Guarini with a "zombie dance", was although preventively stopped by the police.
The local authorities decided to censor her show, a decision surely not welcomed by the Shock Stock staff and by the audience. Maybe they had a point ...
