From 1999 to 2006 Sparkle in Grey was a solo project of Matteo Uggeri/Hue (aka Der Einzige, Normality/Edge) which mixed electronic rhythms and melodies with field recordings.

In 2006 Hue was joined by poli-instrumentalist Cristiano Lupo (member of Norm), Alberto Carozzi (former member of Yakudoshi) – guitar and bass - and violin player Franz Krostopovic (of Pulp-ito): they're the roundmen boy band you see here.

Sparkle in Grey do not sing, do not dance in public, do not have lyrics to hang up on teenage bedroom walls.

This could be due to their passion for Kaurismaki's cigarettes, for Robert Smith's hair-style, for certain sounds in so-called experimental records that may well result from mixing mess-ups, for Piano Magic's totemic stage presence; but as much as they might not appeal to 15 – year olds they are, after all, the over-grown, boy-band version of Tuxedomoon.
