PARACHUTE


Article 1Originally named "Sparky's Flaw", the band changed its name to "Parachute" in 2008. The reason for this came from the fact that Nivea wasn't willing to feature a band with the word flaw in its name. Since their graduation from college, Parachute has been touring with artists such as O.A.R. and Switchfoot. As a part of their first major tour following the release of Losing Sleep in the summer of 2009, they will tour with artists such as 3 Doors Down, The Script, and Kelly Clarkson.Their songs "She is Love" and "Under Control" were used on Nivea's national skincare TV commercials. As part of the campaign, Parachute shared the Nivea Countdown Stage with the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift in front of over one million people in Time Square for New Year's Eve in 2008.Parachute's debut album Losing Sleep became available in stores and online on May 19, 2009. Primarily produced by John Shanks, Losing Sleep highlights unabashed emotional affairs. On May 12, Losing Sleep was released exclusively on iTunes, including an additional bonus track, "Strange World". The second single off of the album, "Under Control", was also highlighted as the Free iTunes Single of the Week. A deluxe edition of the album was released on August 4, 2009.On June 15, 2009, Will Anderson and Kit French appeared as Parachute on the 20th episode of "Live From Daryl's House", the monthly internet concert from Daryl Hall They performed four songs from their debut album ("All That I Am", "She Is Love", "Under Control" and "She").

TMiccoli comprising of twin brothers Adriano and Alessandro and their sister Francesca, who are of Italian/English heritage... .. They are

unique singer songwriters as all three band members take on the roles of writing, playing and performing lead vocals. Their music is an eclectic sound both melodic and alternate pop with tinges of jazz/blues. Music

has been their passion, beginning in their childhood years with the purchase of their first piano in 1988. The trio’s musical talent developed

over the next ten years, from classical beginnings, performing in various concerts and recitals to nurturing their skills and the craft of

music making. By 1998 their musical odyssey began, originally under the name Meriden as they were now writing playing and performing

their own material. Their style, along with the band name, has evolved into the sound and look of today. Miccoli is truly a multi instrumental

family, this instrumental variety is reflected on their debut album "writing on rooves." This album is the creative consequence grown from the

talented trio’s inspirational writing of life, relationships and experiences whilst sitting on their Nonna’s roof in a small Italian town in southern

Italy. They are set to take on the music industry with their musical talent, determination and hard work.
