Brought together by their common love for soundtracks and Italian libraries of late '60s/early '80s, the four members of La Batteria are well-known musicians and veterans from the underground scene of Rome, Italy, with quite different experiences ranging from progressive post-rock (Fonderia), indie-pop (Otto Ohm, Angela Baraldi), experimental jazz (I.H.C.), hip hop (La Comitiva, Colle Der Fomento) and world music (the famous Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio). In 2015 the band released its self-titled debut album: twelve original compositions informed by the type of songwriting, very sought after in the heyday of the Italian movie glamorama: Music for images in the years between 1968 and 1980, with the likes of experimental composers and masters at work Ennio Morricone, Stelvio Cipriani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Bruno Nicolai and bands such as Goblin and I Marc 4. In 2016 the special project “Tossico Amore” was released: the remake of the soundtrack of Italian cult movie “Amore Tossico”, originally composed by Maestro Detto Mariano.
 Up to now the band collaborated with artists such as Colle Der Fomento, Roy Paci, Jolly Mare, Orchestra Operaia, Stefano Bollani. All the instruments recorded are exclusively vintage, though music of La Batteria is not merely revival, but the result of a sound/style projected into now. So, in between the lines of their cinematic prog-funk you will detect traces of afro-beat, hip hop and kosmische music, all filtered through an Italian feeling.
