Sulla Lingua + Anthony Pateras (solo)
11 November 2025
Sulla Lingua is the world’s only Australian-Italian electroacoustic noise rock trio, featuring Anthony Pateras (tētēma/PIVIXKI) on electronics, Stefano Pilia (Zu, Rokia Traoré, Massimo Volume) on guitar and Riccardo La Foresta on drums and his own creation, the Drummophone.
Sulla Lingua in Italian means ‘on the tongue’ or ‘on language’, which summarises the band’s high/lo aesthetics – they could be referring to Roland Barthes or saluting Gene Simmons, but they still haven’t decided. Both seem fitting to their trance-y harmonics and heavy grooves mixed with psychoacoustic electronics and cinematic textures.
Their debut album ON recalls the radical, contradictory first statements of music nerds’ past. It proposes invention, challenging yet weirdly catchy, as an energised salve for messed-up times. It recalls slowly moshing at a musique concrète diffusion, or perhaps being lost deep in philosophical thought at some kind of sludge rock fest.
Sulla Lingua will be prefaced with a solo piano performance by composer Anthony Pateras.
