Ministri

Italian rock trio Ministri came together in Milan during 2003, its lineup consisting of Davide Autelitano on vocals and bass, Federico Dragogna handling guitar and vocals, and Michele Esposito on drums. Early live appearances under the name Minister of the Time led the group to ink a deal with Oto Records, which issued the debut album I Soldi Sono Finiti before the close of 2006. Two years later the band moved to Universal, where it first put out the EP La Piazza and then delivered the album Tempi Bui in February 2009. The same year brought an opening slot on a Coldplay date in Udine; the following year saw the arrival of the third album Fuori, with Per un Passato Migliore appearing in 2013.
