Italian pop/rock band Lùnapop started playing under the name of Senza Filtro in 1997, changing their name two years later. Lùnapop made their live debut at the San Marino Festival, performing a song called "Qualcosa di Grande" and soon signing to Universal International, releasing "50 Special," followed by "Un Giorno Migliore." Later, the group had the opportunity to participate in the prestigious San Remo Festival with "Mary Sedutta in un Pub." In December 1999, Lùnapop's ...Squérez? was released, climbing to the local Top Ten in March of 2000. A year later, the band earned four Italian Music Awards. ~ Drago Bonacich
