Steve Piccolo è musicista, co-fondatore dei Lounge Lizards, autore di opere sonore (Domestic Exile, Adaptation) e canzoni di successo tra cui il testo di "Self-Control" di Raf nel 1984. L'artista di origini americane ha prodotto e collaborato con band italiane Massimo Volume, Afterhours, Rosso Maltese, e artisti di calibro come Elliott Sharp, Zeena Parkins.

Starting in 1995 he returned to frequent live concert activity, playing festivals and theaters in Italy and around Europe with different line-ups, including Italian musicians (jazzmen Giancarlo Locatelli and Filippo Monico), members of new ‘rock’ groups (Massimo Volume, Afterhours, Rosso Maltese) and friends from New York (Elliott Sharp, Zeena Parkins). From 1999 to 2004 his research focused on the major project The Expedition, a narrative-musical work specifically developed for each city or situation in which it was performed. For the whole story see the Expedition History on this website.
Five years of work on this project led to the Expedition CD released in 2004. The Expedition project is now officially complete. Over the last few years Steve’s activities have become too numerous, frequent and varied for a quick summary in these biographical notes. For a detailed listing of projects, events, dates over the last few years see the EVENTS DIARIES at the LIVE section of this website. Work with artists and designers: recent projects with Luca Pancrazzi (DE-ABC), Adrian Paci, Gabriele Di Matteo, A Constructed World, Ivo Bonacorsi, Isola Art Center (Bert Theis) and many others.
