Biography

For the musical duo The Shalalalas it was love at first sight, when Alex’s guitar met Sara’s voice. In early 2013 the Italian duo released their first EP “The Fucking Shalalalas” fusing sounds of indie-folk together with pop melodies. After performing several live shows, in April 2015 The Shalalalas released their debut album “There are 3 las in Shalalalas”, published by “Bassa Fedeltà” records. This album was a collection of acoustic songs presented in a more “dream-folk” style, as the band likes to say. During the following months, the duo began its “#3 las tour” across Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland and Romania), performing in more than 100 towns and playing a combination of festivals, including the Primavera Sound in Barcelona. In 2016 the song “A week” was selected as the theme tune for the Italian TV series “L’Allieva”. Most of the duo’s songs are in the soundtrack of the first season, broadcast on Rai1 channel. Thanks to the track “Difficile”, written and performed in Italian, in December 2016, The Shalalalas were in the top 12 of “Sanremo Giovani Festival 2017”. The duo played at “Sarà Sanremo” show, on Rai1 channel at prime time. In 2018 they launched their second full lenght album "Boom", characterized by indie rock vibes. The duo presented it with a four-piece band configuration, bass and drums included. The songs from this second album were used as soundtrack for the second season of L'Allieva. At the moment The Shalalalas are working on new tracks.
