Mezz Cagano is another band from Palermo city...

SA: Please introduce yourself…
MC: Hi boys and gorls, my name is Parviz Mezirvan but somebody put something in my drink and after like to call me like: ...ouh talè!; or: ouh figghjarrusa.
But I don't mind and I turnright 'til the newspaperman. So some gorls like to call me: coglione, bastardo!! ...but I don't know what this really mean so I say: better say what I know that what I shall know!

SA: What you are looking for with your music?
MC: I don't know...maybe DADA (?!)

SA: Would you like to present all of your song with few words
MC: In few words (it's few to doing!!) iz very hard!...I got a tascappane full of: bands, compositions, songs, pelo's reviews, piece of bitch, chocolates...and more.
So I try to give you a lesson (when you come back at home we make counts!!). My songs are (so up two feet) a cross between and across Julio Iglesias and Derek Bailey or something like Ruins and Orietta Berti or ancora The Ultimo of dei belli (Franco Franchi) and Esorciccio movie.

SA: Is your way to do music evolving? How? MC: Ouch...
Music for me is like a concretization of a gud alimentation, so I come explain myself. Piero Manzoni said: the shit is the maximum point of concretization of art! (I think). And this is the way I like. Somebody know Paul Teglia and the goodmakers of shit, for me is the maximum point of musicalization of shit (I think). So somebody like to say: ma va caca! Here I go! (I think)

SA: Is your way live anything but music evolving? How?
MC: Oh yes. yes!
Ooooooh yeyeyeyeeees!
Excuse me I need a toilet! Here I go (oh yes)
How? Tòrally...oh yes. tòrally!!
Biliv in me: torally

SA: Would you like to speak about the city where do you live?
MC: Sure! The timeless capital! The Tomas of Lampedusa's Leopard explains a great deal but not all.
Pan ormus, all port! Palermo is a lovely city to see and to live in, the atmosphere, people, streets, palaces, gargios and munnizza...I like that shit!
Arab, Baroque, punk, art nouveau, fascism...like "all great culture"... and many great musicians inside: Christian, Jo Squillo, Francesa Alotta, Mario Renzi...and many more and more!

SA: Do you live with music?
MC: No, I live alone.

SA: Since years you are friends with each others, do you want say anything about?
MC: No I got no friends (I speak myself)

SA: Can you tell us some story occurred during your tours?
MC: Oh! The question I wait!
I play, turn, spit, shit, rush, rerush, alone...but with many pipol inside!
Laughing laughing that the mom have make gnocca!
