The Philippines’ love affair with the Norwegian group FraLippoLippi began 21 years ago when Manila’s New Wave powerhouse XB-102 debuted their bittersweet single “The Distance Between Us” to the delight of Cure and Depeche Mode fans who were seeking similarly poetic and angst-ridden anthems.
Since then, FraLippoLippi gradually evolved, eventually casting off their Gothic rock roots and becoming a New Wave band that is embraced by people of various tastes with their flirtations with jazz and classic soul.
FLL’s engineer for Small Mercies, Espen Dahl (we’re the same age and went to the same school), recommended me when FLL needed a singer for that album; I had no artistic input, except for the vocals.
FRA Filippo Lippi (1406-1469), commonly called LippoLippi, one of the most renowned painters of the Italian quattrocento, was born in Florence - his father, Tommaso, being a butcher.
Towards June 1456 Fra Filippo was settled in Prato (near Florence) for the purpose of fulfilling a commission to paint frescoes in the choir of the cathedral.
Filippino, or Lipping Lippi (1460-1505), was the natural son of FraLippoLippi and Lucrezia Buti, born in Florence and educated at Prato.
