New Candys
Dream-dark rock from Venice, on a psychedelic tear
New Candys are a compelling alternative/psych‑rock force from Venice, Italy, formed in 2008. Fronted by Fernando Nuti (vocals, guitar, synth), with Dario Lucchesi, Emanuele Zanardo, and Francesco Giacomin completing the current lineup, they blend gritty, noisy energy with introspective dreams, often evoking the water-bound surrealism of their hometown New Candys.
Their 2025 release, The Uncanny Extravaganza, pushes their sound forward with electronic textures and cutting-edge production, marking a bold evolution from 2021’s critically praised Vyvyd.
Known for relentless DIY touring, they’ve built a devoted fan base with unforgettable live shows across Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand—earning praise from Iggy Pop as “really good live” and sharing stages with icons like The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols
