Cheap Wine is a four piece rock band from Pesaro, Italy. It all started in the late 80's, when Marco Diamantini (voice and guitar) started to play in a small basement with his band. With time, the original band vanished, but Marco found in his brother Michele Diamantini (guitars), Alessandro Grazioli (bass) and Francesco Zanotti (drums) valid companions, and Cheap Wine started its trip. Since 1997, they recorded and released 6 CDs: Pictures (1997), A Better Place (1998), Ruby Shade (2000), Crimes Stories (2002), Moving (2004), and Freak Show (2007).
