The Other Side - the Doors italian Tribute Band, were born in 2014 in the province of Varese from the ashes of a previous Doors tribute band and after just a month they are ready for their first live; since then a hundred concerts in Northern and Central Italy and abroad.
Passion, talent and freedom of expression: these are the Other Side and the goal is to be able to reproduce the vibrations and emotions of which the Californian quartet was the bearer, proposing both the most famous songs and those for connoisseurs, both they in studio or live version.
​
The recreated atmospheres, the refined clothes, the fidelity of execution transform each performance into a unique, psychedelic and hypnotic event; nothing is left to chance, everything is meticulously prepared and with the utmost seriousness and professionalism without however neglecting the innate desire to have fun and make music ... just close your eyes and let yourself be carried away to relive those magical atmospheres such as those of Whiskey a Go Go on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.
​
An experience, a journey through time and music to live together...

In the first experiences, in fact, are the works of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Cream, Rolling Stones, CCR, Jetro Tull, ZZTop etc. which form his first repertoire and it is in this period that he is struck by the figure of Jim Morrison.

At the beginning of 2002 he joins Air to Brains where he returns to his origins as a 60s/70s cover band and in which he plays for about 9 years. In the meantime, he perfected his technique at the Music Secrets music school and, between 2012 and 2013, he often changed bands without finding the right dimension. Finally, then, he fulfills his dream of playing for a Doors tribute band and, after a brief adventure made of lights and shadows in one of these tributes, he is the founder with Marc, in the summer of 2014, of the Other Side
