The Doubling Riders were born out of various new-wave and experimental folk outfits active in Italy during the early 1980's. It largely started as the mail-art project of Francesco Paladino, with multi-instrumentalist Pier Luigi Andreoni under the guise F.P & The Doubling Riders, and a record that involved a lot of international talent.
With further records, now featuring Riccardo Sinigaglia and a more stable band, The Doubling Riders became a totally unclassifiable, genre hopping outfit, at the forefront of Italian new-music.
