Möbius Strip

Möbius Strip is the name of an Italian progressive jazz-rock band from Sora and its surroundings, made of Lorenzo Cellupica (piano and keyboards), Nico Fabrizi (tenor and alto saxophone), Eros Capoccitti (bass) and Davide Rufo (drums). They got their inspiration in the object of the same name: since a Möbius strip geometrically connects the two sides of the same surface by starting a path on one of them, this also became the purpose of the musicians, to combine different styles and influences. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2017 by the French label Musea Records and has gotten the attention by magazines and radios from all over the world (some of the magazines are: All About Jazz, Prog U.K., Prog Italy, Progression Magazine, ProGGnosis, Highlands Magazine, Koid'9 and many others). From 2017 to 2020 they played in clubs and festivals in Italy (Rome, Milan, Pompei, Pozzuoli, etc.) and also in the U.S. (at Reggies in Chicago for Progtoberfest Festival 2018 and at the Gibson Music Hall in Appleton in Wisconsin). Their second album, Time Lag, has been published in July 2021 by AltrOck Productions and it's distributed by Ma.Ra.Cash Records.
