The first ever Sammarinese entry to the Eurovision song contest is a good prove that coming last in Eurovision isn't a career killer. They scored only 5 points (2 from Andorra and 3 from Greece) and came last in their semifinal and also the lowest score the whole year. Very unfairly so if you ask me as Complice is a fantastic track. But this said, the guys have never stopped ever since. They have been performing abroad and in Italy participating in various festivals and competitions. Still maybe waiting for the big break that will surely come soon (Sanremo 2012?) while slowly building their fan base all over Europe. They have released their excellent debut album Avantgarde. They have done since the Romanian Cerbul de Aur festival, as well as the Budva festival in Montenegro. In Sanremo 2009 they got into top-10 in the on line section with Evelozione genetica and the year after tried with Perdo contatto. This year they also tried the Swiss selection with I feel. Their other hits include It's Ok, Rock'n roll robot and Oltre le nuvole (Dincolo de nori). And their flirting with Eurovision continued this year when Nico Della Valle announced the Sammarinese votes in ESC 2011.
