Paul Chain, now Paul Cat - P.C. Translate, (Paolo Catena) is born in Ancona the 27th of June, 1962 and he's a completely autodidactic poli-instrumentist; he began to play keyboards in 1968, drums in 1970, guitar and bass guitar in 1972 and lead vocals in 1980. In 1977 Paul and Steve Sylvester founded the Death SS (the "SS" hasn't a political meaning : Paul Chain don't want to mess with politics or religion), historical band of Italian rock, known for its fusion of rock music and theater. In February 1984 the group appeared in the "Mr. Fantasy" show (RAI 1) as better band of 1983. Growing more and more extraneous to the band's negative philosophy (and annoyed by the problems caused by the singular scenography used in concert, in a land as Italy so lack of structures for rock music), in April 1984 he left Death SS and devoted himself to the Paul Chain Group, previously founded in 1979. In September 1984, in the courtyard of Fortezza Priora (Falconara) occurred the first concert of "Paul Chain Violet Theatre", monicker used only for the first four releases, in the rock happening called simply "A" and filmed by RAI 3. In the beginning of the 90's he has been included in several hard rock / heavy metal encyclopaedias published by editors "Arcana" an "Curcio". In league with Marco Melzi, Paul Chain is founder and artistic producer of Minotauro Records from Pavia, one of the most important Italian independent record companies. In 1993 he founded the cult promotional label Day Records, recording and production studios as well as distribution for the underground circle. Evolution, musical improvisation and pacifism are the Paul Chain's three fundamental concepts. He hates the musical business, the rockstars, the indiscriminate and destructive use of mass-media and he's thought one of the last artisans of music. The language used by Paul Chain in his records doesn't exist, it's purely phonetic.
