The band has undergone various changes of personnel since their formation in 2007, with keyboards-player Alberto Citterio and guitarist Paolo Colombo being the only remaining founding members. They quickly added their friend Marco Buzzi (bass) from a METALLICA tribute band and during 2008 they intensified their live activity with a series of gigs at the major venues in Milan. With the arrival of drummer Emanuele Borsati in the following year the group abbreviated their name and switched to performing their own material although they continued to try to recapture the sound of seventies prog.
Giacomo Balzarotti (vocals, classical guitar) completed the current line-up in 2010 and since then they have been working on a concept album based on a short story by German philosopher Kurd Lasswitz. Titled ''Sulla Bolla Di Sapone'' (On the Soap Bubble) the album is ready to be recorded but to fill the gap until its release they have issued the self-produced ''Epsilon'' EP, a highly promising debut that communicates the intensity of the band's deeply introspective lyrics against a backdrop of lush symphonic prog.
On the strength of this release FEM PROG BAND would certainly seem to have all the attributes required to become one of the front-runners in the field of modern Italian prog. Highly recommended.

In My Mind
fem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a distance and wishing you're here
It's my time to shine but all I wish for
Is the moonlight shining on your skin
We kiss and the room lights up
I'm high and all my senses high up
Listening to you humming the song with eyes closed
I'm in my own corner and to be honest I'm happy
Making movies about you in my crappy mind
Even if it's only in my mind
My dreams about you are better than who you are
So why is it that I wanna hold your chin and kiss you hard?
Tell me tell me tell me you know how to love
My dreams about you are better than who you are
I wanna tell you everything will be better than
Your childhood house where you couldn't feel alive
I know how to make you feel alive
I know how to love let me hold your hand and
Show you your emotions are welcomed
Tell me where it hurts so I know where to love you hardest
I know how to love let me know you deeper
And show you I can hold you tighter
Than even your childhood house
Where you could never feel
Loved

Line by Line Meaning
Act like I'm happy but I'm looking at you
I am pretending to be happy but my eyes are fixed on you
From a distance and wishing you're here
I am far away, but I want you to be with me
It's my time to shine but all I wish for
This is my moment, but what I really desire is
Is the moonlight shining on your skin
to see you illuminated by the moon
We kiss and the room lights up
The sparks that fly when we kiss light up the room
I'm high and all my senses high up
Being with you intoxicates me and heightens my senses
Listening to you humming the song with eyes closed
Watching you hum with your eyes closed
I'm in my own corner and to be honest I'm happy
I'm content in my own space and genuinely happy
Making movies about you in my crappy mind
In my imagination, I create compelling stories about you
Even if it's only in my mind
Even if they're only in my imagination, they are impactful nonetheless
My dreams about you are better than who you are
My fantasies of you are stronger than the reality of who you are
So why is it that I wanna hold your chin and kiss you hard?
Despite this, I long to passionately kiss you
Tell me, tell me, tell me you know how to love
Convince me that you are capable of love
I wanna tell you everything will be better than
I want to assure you that things will be better than
Your childhood house where you couldn't feel alive
Your childhood home where you felt dead inside
I know how to make you feel alive
I know exactly how to make you feel alive
I know how to love, let me hold your hand and
I am an expert in love, let me hold your hand and
Show you your emotions are welcomed
Show you that your feelings are accepted
Tell me where it hurts so I know where to love you hardest
Tell me your pain points so I can love you even more
I know how to love, let me know you deeper
I am skilled in love, let me know you more intimately
And show you I can hold you tighter
And demonstrate how I can hold you closer than anyone else
Than even your childhood house
More tightly than even your childhood home
Where you could never feel loved
Where you never felt loved
